Livermore housing market trends, 2021–2026

September 2021 median
$1.04M
$3,521/mo at 3.0%
Peak (April 2025)
$1.23M
July 2026 median
$1.12M
$5,755/mo at 6.7%

The median sale price in Livermore is $1.12M — up 7% from $1.04M in September 2021. Over that stretch, the median peaked at $1.23M in April 2025 and bottomed at $975K in February 2023. That's right in line with the area's 5-year average of $1.11M. Each point is the median of a rolling 3-month window of closings, so the curve runs smoother than any single month; the multi-year direction is the signal.

What buyers actually pay has moved more than the sticker price suggests: a typical monthly payment (20% down, principal & interest) is about $5,755 today, up 63% from $3,521 in September 2021. Most of that increase comes from mortgage rates (3.0% then vs. 6.7% now), not prices — at September 2021 rates, today's median would run about $3,781/mo.

Seasonally, the three months ending in August have been the busiest stretch for closings in Livermore over the past 5 years (about 297 sales in that window on average, vs. 167 for the stretch ending in February), while competition has run hottest in the stretch ending in May (69% of homes selling over asking on average). That's an average across just 5 observations per month, so treat it as a tendency, not a rule.

Frequently asked questions about Livermore

Is now a good time to buy in Livermore?

Livermore is balanced but competition is picking up. It remains a reasonable environment for buyers, though acting decisively on well-priced homes is becoming more important.

How do Livermore home prices compare to the Bay Area average?

At $1.12M, Livermore's median sits about 38% below the Bay Area average of $1.80M. That average is skewed high by ultra-premium peninsula enclaves like Atherton and Woodside, so a more useful frame is that Livermore is one of the more accessible corners of the Bay Area.

By home type:

  • Single-family homes at $1.24M
  • Condos at $780K
  • Townhomes at $773K
What price range should I budget for in Livermore?

Prices in Livermore depend heavily on home type and specific neighborhood. Median sale prices by type:

  • Single-family homes at $1.24M
  • Condos at $780K
  • Townhomes at $773K

Individual listings vary widely based on location, size, and condition. The best calibration is to narrow to a few specific neighborhoods you are considering and look at recent sales there.

How competitive is Livermore for buyers?

Livermore is a balanced market where neither side dominates:

  • Homes sell about 0.8% above asking on average
  • 45% close above list price
  • 15 days typical time to go pending
  • 28% of listings have had a price reduction

Buyer strategy: contingencies are more accepted, and there is time to tour and negotiate without extreme pressure.

What will my total monthly cost be on a median-priced Livermore home?

At $1.12M with 20% down at 6.71%, your estimated total monthly cost is approximately $7,134:

  • $5,785 principal and interest
  • $1,166 property tax (California 1.25% effective rate)
  • $183 homeowners insurance

HOA fees are extra. Condo buyers typically budget an additional $300 to $700 per month for HOA, and townhome HOAs run $200 to $500.
