What it means for buyers and sellers
Redfin gives Burlingame a Compete Score of 73, "very competitive." The average home sells for about 8% over list in around 14 days, and hot homes go for about 17% over in around nine days. The lower median and the 26.5% jump in price per square foot point in opposite directions, which usually means more smaller homes and condos sold. Zillow's double-digit gain and the rising share of over-asking sales both say the market is strong. See also San Mateo.
Redfin figures cover the three months through September 2026 and compare with the same period a year earlier. Zillow's Home Value Index is a typical-home estimate, not a sale price, so the two numbers measure different things and won't match exactly.
