What This Means
Union City's housing market is showing mixed signals this July. While median prices continue their impressive climb—up 26.2 percent year-over-year to $1.26 million—the month-over-month sales decline of 26.8 percent suggests the market is losing momentum heading into late summer. This slowdown is fairly typical for this time of year, as fewer buyers are actively shopping after the spring season. More tellingly, homes are sitting on the market roughly two weeks longer than they were a year ago, indicating less urgency among buyers despite strong price appreciation.
The silver lining is that homes are still selling above list price (100.6 ratio), and days on market actually improved 15 percent from June, which suggests June was particularly sluggish. At $731 per square foot, pricing remains elevated but stable. The 106 active listings represent a modest inventory level—not a buyer's market by any stretch, but enough to give buyers some choice. Single-family homes still dominate the local mix, comprising 83 percent of sales.
If you're considering selling, timing matters. Prices haven't retreated despite slower sales, suggesting the market retains underlying strength. However, buyers should expect to be patient; at the current pace, this inventory would take several months to clear.
