The middle of the Concord market is about $758,000. The median home sold for $758,248 in August 2026, up 1.1% from a year earlier (Redfin, Concord housing market page, August 2026, checked September 24, 2026).
That is one number for a whole city of houses, townhouses and condos. What you pay depends on the type of home, the street and the condition. Here is what August looked like and how to turn it into a real number.
What did Concord homes sell for in August 2026?
Right around asking, and often a little over. These are Redfin’s figures for all home types in Concord (Redfin, Concord housing market page, August 2026, checked September 24, 2026):
| Measure | August 2026 |
|---|---|
| Median sale price | $758,248 |
| Change from a year earlier | up 1.1% |
| Homes sold | 271 |
| Median days on market | 24 |
| Sale price as a share of list price | 100.8% |
| Homes sold above list price | 47.0% |
| Homes with a price drop | 32.3% |
| Median price per square foot | $453 |
Read it this way. Nearly half the homes that sold went over asking. About a third of listings cut their price first. Both are true at once, which tells you pricing is doing most of the work.
Is Concord a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?
Neither side has it all. With a typical sale closing at 100.8% of list and 47.0% selling above list, well-priced homes still draw more than one offer. With 32.3% of homes taking a price drop, overpriced ones sit (Redfin, August 2026, checked September 24, 2026).
If you’re buying, a home that just hit the market at a fair price may need your best offer up front. One that has been sitting for a month may have room to negotiate. If you’re selling, the first two weeks matter most.
How does Concord compare with Contra Costa County?
Below the county headline, though the two numbers measure different things. C.A.R. (the state’s real estate trade group) reported a Contra Costa County single-family median of $875,000 in August 2026, up 2.9% from a year earlier, with a median of 20 days on market (C.A.R., August 2026 home sales and price report, September 16, 2026).
Careful with that comparison. The county figure counts only single-family homes. Concord’s Redfin median includes condos and townhouses, which can pull a median down.
Why doesn’t the median match the home I’m looking at?
Because the median is a blend. Concord has single-family streets, townhouse complexes and condo buildings, and each month’s mix of sales moves the number. A month heavy on condos lowers it. A month heavy on larger houses raises it.
For one home, use recent sales of the same type, with a similar size, close by. Ask for sales from the last 90 days first, then widen the window if there are too few.
What is price per square foot in Concord?
Redfin puts the Concord median at $453 per square foot for August 2026 (Redfin, Concord housing market page, checked September 24, 2026). It is handy for a quick gut check. It is not a pricing tool on its own. A 1,200 square foot home near a BART station and a 1,200 square foot home on a busy road can be far apart.
What else changes what I pay?
Mostly the monthly costs that come with the home. HOA dues on condos and townhouses, the property tax bill, and any special assessments all change what the home really costs you each month. Get the current tax bill and the HOA documents before you commit. For what taxes mean for your budget, ask a tax professional or the Contra Costa County Assessor. For what payment you can carry, talk to a lender.

It was $758,248 in August 2026, up 1.1% from August 2025, per Redfin’s Concord housing market page, checked September 24, 2026. That median covers every type of home that sold, including condos and townhouses. A given house or condo can land well above or below it. Recent nearby sales of your home type give a truer number.
How fast are homes selling in Concord?
The median Concord home took 24 days to sell in August 2026, per Redfin, checked September 24, 2026. That is a median, so plenty of homes went faster and some sat longer. Homes priced in line with recent sales tend to move first. Homes that start high are the ones most likely to take a price cut.
Do Concord homes sell over asking?
Many do. In August 2026, 47.0% of Concord homes sold above list price, and the typical home closed at 100.8% of asking, per Redfin, checked September 24, 2026. At the same time, 32.3% of homes had a price drop. So it depends on how the home was priced when it hit the market.
Are Concord homes cheaper than the Contra Costa average?
On the headline numbers, yes. Redfin shows a Concord median of $758,248 for August 2026. C.A.R. shows a Contra Costa County single-family median of $875,000 for the same month, released September 16, 2026. The two measure different things, since Concord’s figure includes condos and townhouses, so compare the same home type before drawing conclusions.
