What These Numbers Mean for Clearlake Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above establishes the baseline: a median sale price of $228,891 that has moved +4.0% year over year, with homes recording a median of 92 days on market. Read together, the competitive indicators point to a market where buyers hold measurable leverage in Clearlake. With 5.9 months of supply, inventory sits near the threshold that separates a balanced market from a buyer-favored one, and only 7.7% of homes closed above asking. The share of listings with price drops, at 34.4%, reinforces that sellers are frequently revising expectations after launch.
For a buyer, this combination argues for a disciplined offer below list, supported by the 95.59% average sale-to-list ratio and the extended time properties are spending on market. There is room to negotiate on price, timeline, and repairs, particularly on listings that have already logged a reduction. For a seller, the data argues against aggressive pricing. With 22.0% of homes leaving the market within two weeks, correctly priced properties still move, but mispriced ones accumulate days quickly and often end up cutting.
Monthly activity shows 13 homes sold against 51 new listings and 45 pending sales, a cadence that keeps active inventory at 77. In a market this nuanced, agent selection matters more than in a frenzy. Clearlake has 250 licensed agents, and distinguishing consistent performers from occasional sellers is where a buyer or seller protects their position. The sections below analyze how we rank those agents and what the pricing and timeline trends mean for your next move.

What to Look for in a Clearlake Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually determines outcomes: transaction depth, negotiation results, and client follow-through. In a market where the average home sells at 95.59% of list and 34.4% of listings require a reduction, the agent you hire directly shapes your final number. EffectiveAgents analyzed 121 transactions in Clearlake to separate high-volume, consistent performers from occasional sellers. Katherine Soditus at Real Estate Alliance leads the ranked group with 184 transactions and $43.8M in all-time sales volume, a record that reflects repeated experience negotiating across the 95422 area and surrounding Lake County communities. That volume matters in negotiation: an agent who has closed through multiple price cycles knows when to hold firm on an offer and when a seller is likely to move. Of the 250 licensed agents in the market, only 35 meet our ranking threshold. When comparing candidates, look past star ratings to review patterns over time, consistency of feedback, repeat clients, and how an agent performed when a deal got complicated tell you far more than a single headline number.
How We Rank Clearlake Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Clearlake market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

Clearlake Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Clearlake, CA?
Based on EffectiveAgents data, Katherine Soditus at Real Estate Alliance ranks as a top agent in Clearlake, CA, with 184 transactions and $43.8M in all-time sales volume. Our methodology analyzes 121 transactions across the market and evaluates agents on verified closing history, negotiation results, and client review patterns rather than advertising spend. Of 250 licensed agents locally, only 35 meet our ranking standard. The right agent for you depends on your property type and goals, so we recommend comparing several ranked candidates before deciding.
How were these Clearlake real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in Clearlake?
Our data covers 250 real estate agents serving the Clearlake area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Clearlake market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Clearlake mean for sellers?
Clearlake's median sale price is $228,891 as of September 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.
How long does it take to sell a house in Clearlake?
In Clearlake, homes sell in a median of 92 days, and the market has seen a -16 days change in market time year over year, meaning properties are taking longer to close than they did recently. Your actual timeline depends on pricing accuracy, condition, and location within the 95422 area. With 34.4% of listings requiring a price reduction, homes priced to current data tend to move faster, while those priced to last year's comparables often sit and eventually cut. Staging, professional photography, and a competitive initial price all shorten time on market.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do Clearlake realtors charge?
Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.
Should I use a local Clearlake agent or a national brand?
The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Clearlake neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.
What questions should I ask a Clearlake realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Clearlake in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
