Your Data-Driven Guide for a Confident Move

Belmont enters 2026 as a competitive market with high prices and low inventory. The median sale price is around $2.3M–$2.4M, with prices expected to grow modestly by 2-4% in the coming year due to tight supply and slightly lower mortgage rates.
Where Prices Are Heading
Prices are expected to rise gradually, with Belmont’s median sale price hovering around $2.3M–$2.4M. The Bay Area and California forecasts suggest steady price growth rather than drastic changes.
Competition & Inventory
Belmont remains highly competitive, with homes selling quickly—around two weeks on average. More than half of homes are selling above list price, emphasizing the importance of well-priced listings.
Mortgage Rates & Affordability
Mortgage rates may ease slightly, but affordability will remain tight, with only about 12% of households able to afford the median home.
What This Means for Sellers
Sellers can expect homes to sell quickly if priced correctly. Overpricing could lead to longer days on market, as buyers are more discerning.
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers should avoid waiting for a major price drop. A better strategy is to focus on homes priced correctly and be prepared for small price fluctuations that can add up over time.
