Seller Brief 94611 Based on August 2026 Pulse Updated 2026-09-14

If you’re listing in 94611 this month, what matters?

A thin August active shelf (55 homes, −36% YoY) and competitive sale-side results in Redfin’s latest window (median sale DOM 14; ~123.9% sale-to-list) can support well-prepared listings — but sale-to-list above 1.0 does not mean every ask clears. Price against both tapes carefully.

Four actions mapped to the numbers

  1. Price against both tapes. August median list $1,097,500 describes current asking stock; Redfin median sale $1,500,000 describes what closed in an earlier rolling window. Full tables: August 2026 Pulse.
  2. Use list DOM with pending and new listings for shelf tempo. August: median list DOM 27; pending 25; new listings 48. That is ZIP tempo, not a guarantee for your address.
  3. A thin shelf helps prepared listings — condition and hills readiness still matter. Price-reduced share was about 7.1% (8 reductions) in August. Buyers still check hazard/insurance; start with CAL FIRE.
  4. Do not over-read sale-to-list. ~123.9% average in the Redfin window means many closed sales cleared above ask in that window — not that every list price will. Metric explainer: DOM & sale-to-list.

FAQ

Is it a good time to sell in 94611?

Thin inventory (−36% YoY actives) and competitive sale-side results in the latest Redfin window are supportive for well-prepared listings. Street, condition, and pricing still decide outcomes.

How should I read list vs sale medians?

List = asking shelf (August). Sale = closed tape (Redfin rolling window). List ≠ sale.
