Pending home sales and the number of new listings have begun to pick up throughout the Bay Area in early May after a drastic drop in April, but homebuyer demand is stronger in Oakland, where homes tend to be larger and less expensive, with more outdoor space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than 72% of Redfin.com users inside the city of San Francisco searched for homes outside the city in April 2020, up from 67.8% a year earlier. The increase came while companies such as Menlo Park-based <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/reuters\/2020\/05\/21\/business\/21reuters-health-coronavirus-facebook.html?searchResultPosition=7\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and San Francisco-based <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/05\/19\/opinion\/twitter-work-from-home.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> were deep in shelter-in-place orders, even prior to chief executives <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/zuck\/videos\/10111936118050541\/\">Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> and Jack Dorsey announcing permanent work-from-home policies. Migration <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/q4-2019-housing-migration-report\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">away from costly coastal cities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> toward less expensive places has been a trend for years, but the sudden shift toward more remote work is likely to accelerate the trend, especially when it comes to moving away from cities into more suburban areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe trend toward the suburbs will grow stronger and stronger as the pandemic continues and work-from-home culture becomes more entrenched. Places like Oakland are capturing people who are leaving San Francisco and San Jose because if employees are able to work remotely three or four days a week, a longer commute is well worth the trade for more space,\u201d said Redfin lead economist <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/author\/taylormarr\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taylor Marr<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cHomebuyer interest is already shifting towards larger single-family homes with bigger yards. As a result, we expect prices to grow faster in the suburbs. That\u2019s likely to be especially true in the Bay Area, where homes in Oakland, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/1590\/CA\/Berkeley\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Berkeley<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/20635\/CA\/Walnut-Creek\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walnut Creek<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and farther-flung suburbs are expensive, but prices aren\u2019t as sky-high as San Francisco.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Home prices in Oakland rose 3.4% to $787,000 in the month ending May 11. Meanwhile in San Francisco, home prices declined 3.2% year over year to $1,496,000 in the four weeks ending on May 11.

Pending sales were down 41.6% in Oakland in the first half of May, versus a 55.1% drop in San Francisco. That\u2019s after pending sales plummeted more than 60% year over year in San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland in April.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New listings in Oakland were down 39.2% year over year in the first half of May. That\u2019s up from April, but still makes for a tighter housing supply than in San Francisco, where new listings were down 29.7% year over year in the first half of May.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMove-in ready houses in Oakland are selling in five to 10 days with multiple offers. There are fewer homes on the market, but almost as many people searching as there were pre-pandemic,\u201d said Oakland Redfin agent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/katy-polvorosa\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Katy Polvorosa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cOne of my clients started looking at homes close to the city, but ended up buying further east, near Walnut Creek, where they could afford a bigger house. Nowadays, buyers want offices where they can work from home, they want to be able to talk on the phone in different rooms, they want space, and they want yards where the kids can
