Selling homes in Hayward, CA

by Phuong Phan

Local Market Realities

Hayward’s real estate market is dynamic, with homes often selling within 30-45 days if priced correctly and presented well. Proper pricing based on comparable properties and market trends is critical to attracting buyers. The city remains competitive, so timing—often in the spring or summer—can boost sale speed and price.​

Home Preparation and Disclosure

Minor repairs, fresh paint, clean landscaping, and decluttering can make a big impression on potential buyers. Sellers are legally required to disclose all known defects in a California Transfer Disclosure Statement to maintain transparency and avoid disputes down the line. A pre-listing inspection can help uncover potential issues ahead of time.

Townhomes and Condos market in San Leandro and Hayward 11/2025

by Phuong Phan

Interpretation for sellers and buyers

  • For sellers of townhomes/condos: Given the smaller inventory of town-/condo type units and reasonably solid demand, you’re in a good position — but pricing must reflect the broader market softness. Highlight strong amenities, low HOA, transit access (San Leandro has good BART access) to stand out.

  • For buyers: There are opportunities here. Fewer listings mean less “stacked” competition in certain segments; if you’re flexible and prepared (pre-approved, ready to move), you can capture value, especially if building condition and HOA are strong.

  • For investors: Townhomes and condos in this price band (~$600K-$700K) might offer an interesting entry into the East Bay rental/ownership mix. Because overall home price growth is modest or flat, you’ll want to emphasize cash-flow, unit appeal, HOA health and proximity to transit/jobs.

Fall-Falling to opportunities

by Phuong Phan

Fall is a unique time in the real estate market. With cooler weather and changing leaves, many buyers are focused and ready to make decisions before year-end. Sellers may find fewer showings but more serious interest. For buyers, there can be less competition and more room to negotiate.

Are you wondering if now is the right time to buy your next home? Could fall’s quieter market help you find a better deal? What opportunities might await in your dream neighborhood as the season changes?

 Fall offers a quieter, more thoughtful market compared to busier seasons and might just be the perfect time to explore your options.
