If you’re thinking about making a move in 2026, understanding what’s happening in the market right now will help you step into the New Year with confidence — not confusion. The Livermore market is shifting in subtle but meaningful ways, and knowing how to interpret those shifts will give you a real advantage.
At Vale & Vine, our goal is simple: help you make decisions rooted in clarity, not pressure. Here are the three things that matter most as we close out the year:
Inventory Is Tight — and That Changes Strategy
Livermore currently has just 1.3 months of inventory, keeping us in a seller-leaning market.
Low inventory gives well-prepped sellers a pricing advantage — and it means buyers must be prepared and decisive.
Prices Have Softened — Creating an Opportunity Window
The median sold price dipped in November, giving buyers a rare moment of breathing room before January competition returns.
Homes Are Still Selling Quickly
Homes are selling in about 19 days, even during the holiday season, showing that serious buyers are still out and ready to move.
What January 2026 Will Bring
Expect more listings, renewed buyer activity, and stronger competition for well-presented homes. Preparing now ensures you enter the New Year with momentum.
