It’s no wonder Piedmont real estate values have held up the last couple of years.
In Piedmont, Rockridge & Montclair May and June are the best months to present a home to market. Chart below shows a steady number of “New Listings” from March through July. In 2009 May, June & August are months when more homes are in contract that any other time of year.
It takes about six to eight weeks to prepare a home for market so if you’re thinking of selling this year now is a good time to begin.

What’s the value of spectacular Bay Views in a spacious Piedmont home? Maybe as much as $300K to the right buyer. We received six offers for my recent listing at 121 Alta Avenue which was listed at $2,000,000. The home was built in 1990 by the present owner on a large, quarter acre, mostly level lot. The accepted offer price was $2,308,000.
If Median Price per Square Foot were a perfect metric for every Piedmont home, the Price would be about 12% less this year than last (prior to the mortgage/financial crisis in Sept ‘08) Best not to be too “stuck” on percentages. Every home is unique. Superior location, condition and appeal continue to ”trump the trend”.
Piedmont Schools rank above excellent in California’s API tests.
