Market context

Across the Bay, the East Bay is tighter than its price trend suggests. Compass described Alameda County as having tightened significantly in September 2026, with condo conditions improving, while Contra Costa County showed mixed conditions (source). The California Association of Realtors reported a September single-family median of $1,265,000 in Alameda County, up 1.2% year over year, with homes selling at 110% of list in 13 days; Contra Costa's median was $870,000, up 0.1%, at 102% of list in 19 days (source).

Nationally, the backdrop is weak demand and slowly building supply. Freddie Mac's survey put the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.32% on October 22, 2026, down from 7.40% the week before but well above 6.19% a year earlier (source). Redfin counted 281,749 pending sales in the four weeks ending October 18, down 14.4% from a year ago and the lowest level in its records, while active listings nationwide were up 2.1% (source).

What it means for buyers in Fremont

Buyers in Fremont have more to choose from than a year ago. With 247 active listings, +20.5% above September 2025, you can afford to be selective, ask for repairs or credits, and walk away from a home that is priced for last year's market. Condo shoppers have the most leverage: 74 condos were listed versus 50 a year earlier. Start with Centerville, which had the deepest pool of listings in the city.

What it means for sellers in Fremont

Sellers face more competition. Every listing in Fremont is up against 246 others, and the count has been elevated through the second half of 2026. Price to the most recent comparable sales rather than to spring asking prices, make the home show-ready before the first weekend, and expect buyers to negotiate on inspection items. Listings in East Industrial saw the sharpest one month increase in nearby competition.

How TurboHome helps

TurboHome is a flat fee brokerage licensed in California and Texas. Our in-house, licensed local agents handle touring, analysis, offers, negotiation, and closing, and we split the buyer side commission with you. You can take your TurboHome Rebate as cash at closing, use it to strengthen your offer, or use it to buy down your mortgage rate, which matters when rates sit above 7%. In a looser Fremont market, that rebate is money you keep rather than money that goes to a traditional commission.

Methodology

TurboHome analysis of MLS data via Snowflake. Active listing counts are month-end snapshots of listings with an active status inside Fremont city limits, from Oct 2024 through September 2026, the latest complete month. Deleted or withdrawn records are excluded. Property types shown are single family residences, condominiums, and townhouses; the all listings total also includes other residential types such as duplexes and manufactured homes, so the three columns do not sum to the total. Neighborhood counts cover neighborhoods with at least 5 active listings in September 2026 and are limited to the 8 largest by current count. Neighborhood figures are compared month over month only, because the share of listings assigned to a named neighborhood has grown over the past year and a year over year neighborhood comparison would overstate the change. All figures are aggregates; no individual listing data is published. Counts come from the MLS feeds TurboHome tracks and can differ from county or metro figures published by local Realtor associations, which use different boundaries and definitions.
