All 88 cities · Data through Sep 2026 · Bay Area overview
Every city this site tracks, ranked four ways from the same Redfin sales data — competitiveness, speed, price movement, and affordability. Each figure covers the three months ending Sep 2026, the way Redfin reports it, so one unusual month can't swing a city's rank. Ranked views include the 85 cities with at least 12 sales in that window (3 smaller markets are shown in the full table below with their sample size, where one unusual sale can dominate the numbers). These rankings refresh automatically every week.
Average sale price vs. asking price — above 100% means bidding wars
Median days from listing to pending
Median price change vs. the same three months a year ago — largest gains and largest declines
Lowest median sale price, last three months
Sorted by 12-month sales volume. Click any city for full trends, charts, and neighborhoods.
