What This Means
Union City's housing market is showing modest spring momentum, though with some interesting quirks. Prices are definitely climbing—up 7.7 percent year-over-year to a median of $1.36 million—and sellers are getting top dollar with homes closing at 101.7 percent of list price. That's a sign of healthy buyer demand. Sales volume ticked up slightly this month, and homes are still moving reasonably fast at 53 days on market, which is typical for the Bay Area at this time of year. Spring always brings more activity, so these upticks aren't surprising.
The softer story is hiding in the year-over-year sales data: transaction volume is down 17 percent compared to April 2025. That suggests fewer people are actually buying, even though prices keep rising. With 89 active listings—many still sitting for 65 days on average—there's more supply than there was, yet less competition among buyers. This could reflect ongoing affordability headwinds; at $1.36 million medians and $736 per square foot, Union City remains expensive even by Bay Area standards. Buyers are being selective, and that's keeping some properties on the market longer despite the seller-favorable metrics overall.
