Daly City, CA Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around Daly City, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Daly City sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of September 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 242
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $1,124,750
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $738
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $815,000 and $1,365,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 242 closed sales in Daly City over the last six months, with a median closing price of $1,124,750. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $815,000 and $1,365,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 240 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $601 and $892 per square foot.

The Daly City angle

Daly City's last six months in our closed-sale data: 242 tracked closings, a median closed sale price of $1,124,750, and a middle half spanning $815,000 to $1,365,000. The band is close to typical for the markets we track, which keeps the median useful as an anchor while leaving plenty of ordinary variation on either side. Distance from the median down to the lower quartile is greater than the distance up to the upper quartile, so the lower half of the band covers more ground and below-median closings spread out more. Work from closed sales matched tightly to your subject, and let the citywide numbers arbitrate only whether the finished estimate is plausible.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Daly City address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Daly City over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Daly City city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 13% of the 242 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $1,160,888.
