The vibe
Where Roger sold a Sacramento St condo 12% over list in 12 days. Berkeley’s market is the East Bay’s most competitive, and the variety of stock (Victorian, Maybeck, Greene & Greene, modern infill) makes every block its own micro-market.
Who loves it
Buyers who think of a house as a piece of history they’re lucky to steward — not a commodity to flip.
What it isn't
A new-construction market — Berkeley is intentionally preserved, and the planning process is famously thoughtful (read: slow).

Insider note from Roger
North Berkeley below Cedar holds value best. The flats around Sacramento St are where the value plays are — and where Roger had his +12% Sacramento St win in 2021.
