The Fremont Real Estate Market

Fremont remains a competitive, in-demand market. As of mid-2026, the median sale price is roughly $1.5 million (about $760–$780 per square foot), and well-priced, move-in-ready homes still tend to sell within about two weeks, often with multiple offers. Prices have softened modestly from their peak, creating more breathing room for buyers without erasing Fremont's long-term strength. Because conditions shift month to month, the best gauge is the live inventory — see what's on the market right now or get a free estimate of your home's value.
