The segment read

94596 meets
single-family homes.

Detached single-family homes are the dominant stock in every city I work — usually 60–80% of listings. What they look like varies enormously block to block: 1960s ranch homes in the older zips, 1990s two-stories in the midlevel subdivisions, and a handful of true custom builds in the hills. Price-per-square-foot is the single best comparison metric here; if someone quotes you a median without a PSF, push back.

Inside 94596 specifically, inventory concentrates in Downtown, Parkmead, Lakewood. If any of those areas interest you, I can tell you which blocks have the right lot profile for this house type and which don't.

Families who need the yard, the garage, the driveway, and room to grow into — or sellers sitting on equity in a home they raised kids in.
