Alamo Market Intelligence: January 2026 Strategic Analysis
Alamo continues to define itself as the premier estate market of the East Bay. The January 2026 data illustrates a distinct decoupling from the broader regional trends: while other markets prioritize velocity, Alamo prioritizes exclusivity and land value. With a median sales price nearing $2.5M and significant activity in the $5M+ ultra-luxury sector, Alamo remains the destination for capital preservation in real estate assets.
