Nine Bay Area counties. More than a hundred cities and neighborhoods. No two markets that behave the same way. Below are guides to every county we serve: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Napa, Sonoma and Solano. Each breaks down the cities and neighborhoods inside it — median prices, housing stock, school districts, commutes, and the character that makes people choose one town over the next.
Buying or selling in the Bay Area is really nine regional decisions stacked on top of each other. A house in the Berkeley hills and a house in Brentwood are both East Bay real estate, and almost nothing else about them is comparable — not the architecture, not the price per square foot, not the number of offers it takes to win. The same is true across the bridge and up the valley. Marin sells slowly at high prices. San Mateo sells in under two weeks. Napa gives buyers room to think. Knowing which market you're standing in is the first real decision you make.
The Lederer Team has spent 25 years and over 1,000 closed transactions learning this region block by block — where the fog line falls, which school district boundary runs down which street, and what a house is actually worth three doors from the last comparable sale. We rank in the top 1.5% of agents nationwide, and we work as advisors rather than salespeople, coordinating specialists across financing, design, staging and estate planning without taking referral fees from any of them.
Start wherever you're curious. When you want to talk specifics about a particular street, we're ready to help!
