Median single-family rent (July 2026)
A ground-level read on San Ramon single-family rents, home values, and tenant demand, and what the latest numbers mean for rental owners weighing hold or sell.
The market in July
San Ramon single-family rents are steady, holding a median near $4,375 across all sizes and about even with where they sat six months ago. What moved this month was price. The median sale eased to $1,647,500, down about 4% from June and lower for the second month running since the spring high, and the number of homes for sale climbed to 64. Homes are still reaching an accepted offer in a reasonable window, around 19 days.
Key numbers (July 2026)
- Median single-family rent: $4,375, about flat over six months

- Days on the market: 19, three days slower than June
- Active listings: 64, up 28% from June
What it means for owners
For years the story here has been equity, not cash flow, with prices running well ahead of rents. This month nudges that the other way for the first time in a while: rents flat, price stepping back toward them. It is a small move, not a trend yet, but it is the number worth watching. If you own a rental here, it is a good moment to know your current equity and what your unit would actually rent for today, so you are ready to act if the gap keeps closing. A 1031 exchange into a higher-yielding property is one option that opens up as prices soften.
