If you’re thinking about buying or selling in the East Bay in 2026, this February market update will save you a lot of guesswork.

In this video I break down what the latest data from January is really saying about the East Bay housing market. We start with the national and California picture, then zoom into the inner East Bay so you can see how mortgage rates in the low 6s are actually playing out on the ground.

You’ll see a simple city-by-city scoreboard for:
• Oakland, Emeryville, Piedmont• Berkeley and Kensington• El Cerrito and Albany• Alameda• Richmond

We’ll talk about:

* Where buyers are still paying well over list price
* Where homes are sitting a bit longer and negotiation is back
* How tight inventory is in Oakland, Berkeley, El Cerrito and Albany
* What today’s rates really mean for your monthly payment and timing
* A clear buyer playbook and seller playbook for February and March

I’m Derrick Tyler with The Lederer Team at Red Oak Realty. I’m a former attorney and a 13-year top-producing East Bay agent who helps buyers and sellers make smart moves in Oakland, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Albany, Kensington, Piedmont, Alameda, Emeryville and Richmond.
