Kentfield Real Estate – Mid-year 2026
Kentfield Summary
Kentfield’s luxury housing market remained highly competitive during the first half of 2026. Strong buyer demand, fueled in part by AI related liquidity, continued to outpace the limited supply of available homes. While constrained inventory reduced overall sales volume to 22 homes, compared with 29 during the first half of 2025, a greater concentration of high-end sales drove prices to new highs.
The average sale price increased to $4,892,000, up from $3.5 million during the second half of 2025, while the average price per square foot climbed to $1,454 from $1,043. The increase was largely driven by stronger activity in the upper end of the market, with eight homes selling above $5 million, including six sales exceeding $6 million.
Buyer competition intensified significantly throughout the market. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of homes sold above their asking price, while the average premium paid over asking rose to 12.5%. Multiple offers were received on 64% of all sales, and 68% of homes entered escrow within 15 days, underscoring the continued demand for well-priced, move-in-ready properties.
Although fewer homes sold in the entry-level price ranges, demand remained strongest for Kentfield’s premier properties. Unless inventory improves meaningfully, the market is expected to remain favorable for sellers through the second half of 2026, with desirable homes continuing to attract multiple offers and premium pricing.
