One part of Livermore is moving faster, even with a lower median price

Real estate, Livermore

Here is the headline fact. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median sale price in ZIP 94551 at $931,500, down 7.8%, for the three months ending August 31, 2026.

Meanwhile ZIP 94550 hit $1,280,000, up 1.4%, Real Estate Data Aggregator says, for that same three month period.

If you are buying or selling, that gap matters. Livermore is not one market right now. It is two.

The bigger picture first

The Federal Housing Finance Agency says U.S. house prices rose 2.4% from August 2025 to August 2026.

So nationally, prices crept up. But Livermore's two ZIP codes moved in opposite directions. That is worth noticing.

ZIP 94551: more homes, lower price, faster pace

Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 132 homes sold in 94551, up 26.9% from a year earlier.

More sales, but at a lower median price. That tells you more buyers are active here, just not chasing top dollar.

Median days on market in 94551 was 19 days, Real Estate Data Aggregator says, 4 days shorter than last year.

So homes here are moving quicker. Nearly 4 in 10 homes, 39.7%, went under contract within two weeks of listing, per Real Estate Data Aggregator.

ZIP 94550: fewer sales, higher price, strong demand

In 94550, Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 117 homes sold, down 25% from a year ago.

Fewer sales, but the ones that happened went for more. Average sale price hit 100.4% of list price, Real Estate Data Aggregator says, up 1.2 points.

Nearly half, 45.9%, of homes in 94550 went under contract within two weeks, per Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is up 11.5 points.

Rates are still a real factor too. Zillow reported mortgage rates above 7% as of November 6, 2026.

That affects what buyers can afford everywhere, including both ends of Livermore.

What this means for you

If you are selling in 94551, know the median price dipped. But homes are moving fast, 19 days on market.

If you are selling in 94550, demand looks strong. Nearly half of homes go under contract within two weeks.

If you are buying, your experience will differ a lot depending on which ZIP you are shopping in.

Numbers for a whole ZIP code can hide what one street is doing. Your block might not match either story above.
