The median sale price in Pittsburg is $600K — down 5% from $630K in September 2021. Over that stretch, the median peaked at $655K in March 2022 and bottomed at $570K in March 2025. That's right in line with the area's 5-year average of $608K. 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 $3,083 today, up 45% from $2,128 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 $2,025/mo.
