Concord's Hot Housing Market by Zip Code

See which Concord neighborhoods are selling the most homes for the most money.

The median sale price of home in Contra Costa County last month was $311,000 compared to $235,000 in February 2012. The 32 percent year-over-year increase was the biggest of all nine Bay Area counties, according to figures released Thursday by DataQuick.

DataQuick President John Walsh said it was Economics 101: “If demand outstrips supply in a free market, the price goes up. The last time the number of homes sold exceeded the historical average for a given month was back in 2006. So a lot of demand has accumulated. Now, with a recovering economy, prices still closer to the bottom than to the top, with ultra-low mortgage interest rates and tight supply, the stage is set for price gains. This spring is going to be interesting.”
