Oaklands by the numbers

What Oaklands homes actually sold for

Every Oaklands sale on the MLS® from November 9, 2025 to November 9, 2026, closed or firm and waiting to complete. That's 11 homes. The figures are medians, the middle sale, so one big outlier can't skew them.

Too few sales for a fair median: townhouses (7), condos (4). Josh can pull the individual sales for you.

The longer view: from November 9, 2023 to November 9, 2026, 42 homes sold here, including 25 townhouses at a median of $1,470,000; 17 condos at a median of $770,000. Prices moved over those three years, so treat this as context, not today's value.
