Oakland, CA homes for sale are over 20% lower in value as compared to a year ago according to figures supplied by Zillow. They are giving an estimate of home median values at $356,700 as of 7/01/09. While Oakland, CA home prices are still much higher than the national median home values, they are attractive to Oakland, CA home buyers. With these numbers and the help of the federal home buyer tax credit and low mortgage rates many first time buyers are getting their chance to own their piece of Oakland real estate. The federal home buyer tax credit is a great program and I recommend home buyers check into it. My hopes are that the federal home buyer tax credit will be extended and help open the door to Oakland home ownership to many more buyers.
