Concord Real Estate: Buyer FAQs

What are property taxes like?

How competitive is the housing market in Concord for first-time buyers?

First-time buyers should get pre-approved for a mortgage to understand their budget and be prepared to act relatively quickly when they find a suitable home, particularly in desirable neighborhoods or those with access to good schools.

With BART access, how does that impact home values in Concord?

Yes—homes near the Concord or North Concord/Martinez stations often see stronger demand and steadier prices.
