Other East Bay High‑End Deals: From Piedmont to Danville

In Piedmont, a 6,953‑sq‑ft home on Somerset Road sold for $3.4 million, while a 4,401‑sq‑ft historic house on Olive Ave. fetched $3.25 million.. Danville’s 4,619‑sq‑ft residence on Kingswood Drive closed at $3.565 million, and a 2,240‑sq‑ft home on Verona Ave. sold for $3.175 million.

Average Market Metrics and Weekly Volume

The week’s 125 residential sales averaged $1.2 million each, with an overall price per square foot of $724 . The data, drawn from public records, shows a mix of older homes—such as a 1918 property on Alcatraz Ave. in Oakland that sold for $2.529 million at $1,310 per square foot—and newer builds like a 2006 Piedmont house that commanded $489 per square foot.

Who’s Buying and Why the Prices Surge?

While the report lists transaction dates and prices, it does not disclose buyer identities or motivations. The concentration of high‑priced sales in Pleasanton, Danville, and Piedmont suggests a niche market of affluent buyers seeking large, well‑located homes. The report notes that some sales were recorded during the week of May 4 even if the property was sold earlier, hinting at a possible lag between closing and title recording.
