Rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025, according to Realtor.com. That would slow most markets. Greenhaven did not slow.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 98 homes sold in ZIP 95831 during the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 34.2% from the same months a year before. More buyers showed up, not fewer.

Speed is the headline

The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows the median home in Greenhaven went under contract in 12 days. That is 6 days faster than the same period in 2025. Nationally, Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings took a price cut in September 2026, the highest share since October 2022. Greenhaven sellers are not in that group.

One honest note on price

The median sale price in Greenhaven came in at $662,500, down 0.4% from a year before. That is a small dip, not a slide. The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. home prices rose 2.4% year over year through August 2026. Greenhaven's price held close to flat while sales volume surged.

In short
  1. Rates above 7% did not slow Greenhaven.
  2. Homes sold in 12 days, nearly half went above list price, and sales volume jumped 34.2% from a year before.
  3. The three months ending August 31, 2026 showed a neighborhood where buyers showed up ready to compete.
  4. Price dipped slightly, but the demand picture stayed strong.

One thing worth knowing: these are ZIP 95831 numbers. One street or one block can read differently from the whole area. If you want to know what the numbers look like for your specific home, that is a conversation worth having.
