EMERYVILLE, Calif., June 25, 2014 - ZipRealty, Inc. (http://www.ziprealty.com) (ZIPR), a leading online residential real estate brokerage and provider of technology and marketing solutions, today released a new report showing that Oakland median home price growth has surpassed San Francisco, Berkeley and Alameda. ZipRealty analyzed the latest MLS data on home sales as of May 31, 2014 to create the four-city study. Zip codes in which five or more real estate sales closed in 2014 were included in the analysis.
Oakland`s median home sales price jumped 23% to $478,000 in May 2014. "As Oakland continues to experience something of a Renaissance, home prices keep accelerating across the city," said Don Cruz Datanagan, District Broker for the East Bay office of Zip Realty. "Astronomically high San Francisco prices have sent residents flocking across the bay in search of lower home prices in Oakland over the past two years. In turn, we have seen this place upward pressure on pricing."
San Francisco`s median home sales price rose 14% year-over-year as of May 2014 to just over $1 million, while Alameda`s median home sales price increased 11% during the same time period to $666,250. Meanwhile, Berkeley was the only city of the four metros studied by ZipRealty to post a decline in price of 1% year-over-year to $801,000 as of May 2014.
