What This Means

Union City's housing market is showing mixed signals this March, with activity picking up but prices and buyer urgency cooling slightly. Sales volume doubled month-over-month to 28 homes, which is solid spring seasonality kicking in as the weather improves and more people enter the market. However, the year-over-year comparison tells a different story—we're down 26% from March 2025, suggesting the inventory squeeze that plagued the Bay Area last year may finally be easing. The median price dipped 2% from February and is essentially flat year-over-year, indicating we're not seeing the aggressive price appreciation that characterized the pandemic boom.

What's most telling is the shift in buyer advantage. Homes are now sitting 49 days on market versus 34 days last month, and sellers are having to sweeten deals to close sales—the 102.3% sale-to-list ratio means homes are barely moving above asking. Meanwhile, active inventory has grown to 80 listings, providing much-needed choice for buyers. This is a normalizing market where the explosive demand that drove prices skyward has softened. For sellers, it's a reminder that condition and price positioning matter now. For buyers, it's finally a chance to negotiate and breathe easier after years of bidding wars.
