Hayward Market Report, August 2026: Median $935,000, 16 Days on Market

The Hayward housing market just posted its August 2026 numbers. It is still a seller's
market, but three things moved underneath the headline, and each one matters if you are buying or selling.
Here is where things stand for single family homes, citywide.

• Median sold price: $935,000, up 5.6% from July.
• But price per square foot fell 8.2% to $608, so the higher median reflects larger homes trading, not a citywide jump in value.
• Sold to list: 102.2% of list price, in a median of 16 days.
• Supply: 2.38 months of inventory, steady on the month but 17.8% higher than a year ago.
• Two speeds: homes that went into contract were listed at a median $898,444 and took 15 days; homes still waiting carried a median $989,394 and 32 days.

I broke the whole picture down, the price pipeline, the months of supply dial, where August sits against
the last five years, and what it all means for buyers and sellers, with a free printable report, on my
market reports hub.
