Redfin Data Center · Nominal dollars, not seasonally adjusted. City medians reflect different homes sold, not the value of an identical home. Prices with fewer than ten sales or an unknown count are gaps in the charts. Price per square foot can have a smaller sample. Single-month and pooled annual medians are unavailable in this source. Do not add overlapping sales counts.

These are observed outcomes using revised Zillow history and BLS CPI-U. They describe past price changes and do not establish future performance. A city can beat the county while losing purchasing power. Single-family/condo controls do not change this all-home history.

Redfin revises its data and adjusts recent estimates for reporting delays. These published aggregates can change as additional transactions are reported; they are not final transaction counts.
A higher median price does not measure the premium for an identical home. Marketing time follows the source’s transaction definition; it does not predict the time needed to sell a particular property.

Burlingame city guide →
What to investigate at the address
Identify what the premium buys at the address rather than relying on the city label.
- Which daily amenities and routes justify the difference from your other shortlisted homes?
- Does the comparison hold within the same housing type and condition?
- Which future benefits are already reflected in the asking price?
San Mateo city guide →
What to investigate at the address

Redwood City city guide →
What to investigate at the address
Separate the benefits you can use from a story about past downtown appreciation.
- Which completed improvements are useful from the candidate address?
- Does its price differ from comparable homes after matching size and location?
- Would the purchase work if the next decade did not repeat the last one?

Read the city analysis →Redwood City: did downtown investment cause the housing revaluation?
Redwood City gained modestly against the county over a decade. Its downtown planning history makes it a useful case study, but timing alone cannot establish that development caused the gain.

California HCD APR · 2018–2025. Units receiving a certificate of occupancy or other readiness. This is an annual flow, includes replacement homes, and does not measure net additions to the housing stock.
2 completion years were reconciled against original city reports. See the source checks below for the accepted totals and excluded out-of-year records.
Completion history and source checks
HCD publishes data reported by local jurisdictions and does not independently verify it. Totals either pass our date, arithmetic and exact-duplicate checks or are reconciled to the city’s own current-year completion summary. Reconciled totals are marked with an asterisk (*). This is not an independent construction audit. A reported zero remains zero.

Definitions, geography and source dates
Census LODES workplace data · Retrieved 2026-09-15. The series uses all jobs (WAC / S000 / JT00), including covered public and private jobs. Self-employment and jobs outside the source’s coverage are excluded. It is neither an annual average nor a count of all hires.
All years use one LODES 8.4 release, 2020 Census blocks and 2024 TIGER place boundaries. The crosswalk defines which blocks belong to each place and the county. Historical city boundaries are not reconstructed. Disclosure protection, location assignment, commuting and remote work limit what these counts say about demand for nearby homes.
HCD APR Table A2 · Retrieved 2026-09-15. Completion dates must fall within the reporting year, totals must equal their income-category components, and identical positive records trigger review. Permit and entitlement fields are not counted as completions. Readiness does not establish that residents moved in. We publish no county completion total: the HCD county jurisdiction covers unincorporated areas.
These are revised historical downloads, not records of what was known in those years. They supplement living pages; published editions and the original forecast retain their evidence.

What this research can tell you
Use the evidence to refine your questions. Our first annual model screen did not establish a reliable advantage over the county benchmark. A price gap alone is not a forecast.
