Before you buy
- Is the office also a bedroom? Some listings count it as one, some don’t; ask how the bedroom count was made.
- Check internet service at the address, including fiber, before you write an offer.
- Want a separate space? A detached studio or ADU can work as an office; see homes with an ADU.
How we counted
Closed sales of houses (MLS property type “single family home”) with a Foster City address between October 28, 2024 and October 27, 2026, reported to the MLS and read through the IDX feeds that power our home search, with repeat records from different feeds removed (same normalized address or same MLS number, plus the same sale date). A house counts when its listing description says so. Price per square foot uses sales with 400 sq ft or more and is compared with the median for all Foster City houses. Neighborhoods are our guides’ outlines, placed by each sale’s map position. Past sales aren’t a forecast or the value of any one home.
