A Newly Remodeled Single-Story in Mission San Jose

Tucked on a quiet Fremont street with a hillside view, 249 Imperio is the kind of listing that's hard to find in Mission San Jose: a single-story 4-bed on a 7,452 sq ft level lot, newly remodeled inside and out in April 2026, with no HOA and a Mission San Jose High school assignment.

Double doors open to a vaulted-ceiling foyer. The living room anchors around a wood-burning brick fireplace and picture windows. The kitchen has been reimagined with quartz counters, a decorative glass tile backsplash, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a glass cooktop, and a sunlit breakfast nook with pendant lights. The primary suite carries a walk-in closet, skylight, and custom-built wardrobe system. Both bathrooms have new modern lights, mirrors, and faucets.

Out back, patio doors open to a pristine landscaped yard with a new sprinkler system, mature plantings, and the hillside as a backdrop.

94539 Micro-Market Report, Fremont's Strongest Seller's Corridor

Here's what the Fremont 94539 single-family market actually looks like as of March 2026, pulled from the Bay East MLS and RPR records. These numbers set the context for how 249 Imperio is priced.

At 1.25 months of inventory with 105.2% average sale-to-list, 94539 remains a seller's corridor, and 249 Imperio is priced *below* the March median sold price.

Why $2,400,000 Was a Fair Ask, and What It Actually Fetched

249 Imperio was listed at $1,347 per square foot and sold at $1,431, closing at $2,550,000, or 6.3% over asking. To see how the ask compared at the time, here are the five closest recently closed comps in 94539, Mission San Jose and Mission-area single-family homes closed in April 2026. These are MLS-verified closed sales, not estimates.

Read the comp table with the outcome in mind. Every one of these homes closed over its list price, several by double digits, so a Mission San Jose ask in this corridor was functioning as an opening bid rather than a ceiling. 249 Imperio landing $150,000 above its own ask is the same pattern, not an outlier.

The Takeaway

The nearest apples-to-apples comp is 43075 Gallegos Ave, three blocks away in the same Mission San Jose school zone. It's a 3-bed / 2-bath, 1,682 sq ft home from 1963. It closed April 17, 2026 for $2,300,000 at $1,367/sq ft, 15.64% over list, with nine days on market.

249 Imperio offers one more bedroom, 100 more square feet, a newer 1975 build, a larger 7,452 sq ft level lot, and a full April 2026 remodel, all at $1,347/sq ft, a touch *below* Gallegos's closed $/sq ft. The 42170 Camino Santa Barbara comp that closed under list stayed 38 days on market, the cautionary tale on what happens when condition doesn't match the ask. 249 Imperio's fresh-remodel + listing-on-day-one strategy is the other path.
