The Most Expensive Homes For Sale In Piedmont

There seems to be no stopping the rise in the price of homes. At least not in the near future.

DataQuick reported a few weeks ago that the median price of a home in the East Bay rose more than 20 percent in March compared to a year ago.

In Alameda County, the median price is now $445,000, 10 percent higher than February and 22 percent higher than March 2012.

In Contra Costa County, the median sale price is $346,000, 13 percent higher than February and 33 percent higher than March 2012.

One of the prime reasons for the increase is a lack of inventory. Many homes are getting multiple bids over the asking price, driving up the price.

There is some concern this phenomeneon is pricing some potential homeowners out of the market.

With all this in mind, we thought we’d go back to all our communities and see what the most expensive home is on the market.

In Piedmont, this six-bedroom, six-bathroom house at 87 Sea View Ave. is listed at $5.9 million. The home, built in 1945, is 7,989 square feet and sits on a third of an acre.
