Antioch, CA Real Estate Market Update — June 2026
Single-Family Homes | Data from Altos Research
If you're buying or selling in Antioch — or just keeping an eye on the market — here's your no-fluff breakdown of where things stand right now.
The Big Number: $698,500
The median list price for single-family homes in Antioch this week is $698,500. New listings are coming in right in line at $699,000, which tells you sellers have a pretty realistic read on where the market is. At $312 per square foot, Antioch continues to offer some of the best space-for-the-dollar in Contra Costa County.
With 146 active listings, buyers have real choices — more inventory than most Bay Area markets right now.
Still a Seller's Market — But Cooling
The Market Action Index (MAI) is at 50, which puts us squarely in Strong Seller's Market territory. However, it slipped slightly from last month's reading of 51, and the trend over recent months has been a gradual decline.
Prices have plateaued. The market isn't dropping — but it's no longer climbing either. Here's what to watch: if the MAI starts falling consistently and approaches the 30s, sellers will feel downward pressure on price. For now, sellers still have the edge — just not as much as they did six months ago.
Where the Action Is: A Tier-by-Tier Breakdown
The Antioch market tells four different stories depending on price range:
Entry Level — around $499,500 (3 bed/2 bath, ~1,200 sq ft, older homes) This is the hottest segment in the market right now. 12 homes absorbed, 35-day median DOM. Demand is strong, inventory is moving, and there's real competition at this price point. First-time buyers need to be ready to move fast.
Lower-Mid — around $635,000 (4 bed/2.5 bath, ~1,900 sq ft) Also active, with 7 homes absorbed and a 49-day median. Solid demand for the size and value — 4-bedroom homes at this price are tough to find anywhere else in the Bay Area.
Upper-Mid — around $736,000 (4 bed/3 bath, ~2,400 sq ft, newer builds ~24 years old) Decent movement with 4 absorbed at a 45-day median. These are newer, larger homes and they're still selling — just taking a little more time to find the right buyer.
Top Tier — around $829,000 (5 bed/3 bath, ~3,300 sq ft, large lots) The slowest segment at 56 days, with only 1 home absorbed. These are big, newer homes with generous lot sizes. They're not sitting forever, but sellers need patience and smart pricing.
One Stat Worth Noting
34% of listings have had a price reduction. More than one in three sellers has already adjusted their ask. That's good news for buyers — especially in the upper segments — and a clear signal to sellers that overpricing backfires quickly in this market.
What This Means for You
Sellers: You're still in the driver's seat — especially if you're priced in the entry or lower-mid range where demand is strongest. Price right from day one. The homes sitting past 60 days are almost always overpriced at launch.
Buyers: More inventory, price reductions, and slightly longer days on market give you more breathing room than you've had in years. The entry-level segment ($499K range) is still competitive, so have your financing lined up. In the upper tiers, there's genuine room to negotiate.
