Why Oakland
What makes selling in Oakland different
Oakland is defined by older housing stock where deferred repairs are common and updates get expensive fast. We know the neighborhoods here and buy single-family, condos, townhomes, and small multi-family directly, as-is. California homeowners carry the highest transaction costs in the country — commissions alone can run tens of thousands of dollars. Many sellers here are handling an inherited home under Prop 19, a tenant-occupied property, or a relocation that can't wait for a 60-day escrow. SilverCrest buys California homes directly, as-is, with no fees taken out of your offer.
The typical Oakland home is valued around $924,700, with a median build year of 1953 — meaning half the housing stock predates 1960, so knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing and original roofs are common. Owner-occupancy runs about 41.7%, across a city of roughly 438,072 residents, with median property taxes near $7,855 a year. Those figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau's ACS 2023 5-Year Estimates, and they are part of how we benchmark a direct cash offer on your Oakland property.
