2026 Piedmont Real Estate Market Report

March 6, 2026 · Originally published on Substack

Piedmont continues to be one of the most sought-after communities in the East Bay, and 2026 is proving no different.

What we're seeing:

  • Inventory remains historically low, with homes receiving multiple offers within days of listing
  • Median sale prices are up approximately 8% year-over-year
  • The luxury segment (above $3M) is particularly active, driven by tech executives and relocating professionals
  • Buyer demand from San Francisco and Silicon Valley continues to drive competition

For sellers: If you've been waiting for the right moment, 2026 presents strong conditions. Proper preparation and pricing remain critical — overpriced homes are sitting longer than they did in 2021-22.

For buyers: Be prepared, be patient, and be ready to move quickly when the right home appears. Pre-approval and a strong advisory team are non-negotiable.
