Local Home Sales: Latest Real Estate Prices Near Albany, El Cerrito, Kensington

Hover over the interactive map or see the list below for information about homes sold since Sept. 7. Click the green "Keep me posted!" button below for an alert when we post the weekly round-up.

Again this week we're seeing the effects of our typical August slow-down. Homes that closed during this last week likely went into contract 30 days earlier, in early August. We can typically expect the market to get busier again from September to mid-November, so you should see that increase in activity reflected here over the next few weeks.


Since no homes closed in Albany in the last week, and only two each in El Cerrito and Kensington, I have included six from Berkeley. 

The sale prices for the homes listed below range from $250,000 for a two bedroom, one bath house in El Cerrito to $1.123 million for a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath house in the Berkeley hills.

Of these 10 homes, four sold within 19 days, and five sold for at least 92 percent of their original list price. The average list price was $589,990, and the average sold price was $572,500.

We normally display the list below in an easy-to-read table format, and will return to that as soon as a technical glitch is resolved.

Was that what i heard in the middle of the night on Wednesday? I thought i was dreaming. It soundedRead More like some sort of loudspeaker.

Gee...are you SURE that alarm IS coming from Portola Middle School? Um...I suppose that you ARERead More sure! Yes...it IS turbo-annoying but I had assumed that it was some stupid car alarm.

Good thought, Julian.

I've spoken with him, he is educated, intelligent and articulate. He is also angry and sometimesRead More irrational. I dont know his story but his "street art" stands on its own legs. If you would like to help him, and yourself, buy and enjoy his art.

A neighbor of mine on Colusa tried to give him food when he was on Colusa, but he refused, so IRead More never tried. Dorothy, is that the shelter near the Berkeley Historical Society/Veteran's Building? Perhaps he would need a ride to it. Perhaps he's concerned about leaving his things there if he can't be there during the day. I'm afraid I don't know enough about it.

I did mention that I'm donating 10% of my royalties for "Midnight" to the EC's Open SpaceRead More fund, didn't I? I'm a Down-home Ten Percenter.

Lucy, I like the idea in principal, but in reality I think it would just give ECPD more work to do.Read More "People hanging out" doesn't necessarily translate to a friendly,fun-filled, folksy kind of environment. It *can* mean quite the reverse. "Midnight On the Ohlone" sounds like a new recording. Something like "I left my little babeeeeee, down by the tracks....and now I want her back....she's a needle in the haaaaaaay staaaaack...' Arhoolie awaits.

What a great idea for pocket parks!!! I am all for them. Instead of spening a big amount on oneRead More (which we don't have space anyway), I would like to see many mini parks of $20,000 along the Bart tracks. With more visibility and people hanging out, it would make Bart paths safer too, especially the one around fairmont park. Really mini pocket parks just needs some play structures, benches and tables there.
