January posted the lowest median list price in Emeryville in over a year at just $419,500. Numbers were a bit higher in February though with more two bedroom condos and townhomes hitting the market. Finding a one bedroom condo in Emeryville below half a million is within reach for many prospective buyers.

Overall, inventory is rising, price increases are slowing and interest rates are hovering around four percent for those that qualify. Overall sales volume is down, which indicates that buyers might be holding back which can tip the scales in their direction.
