🏡 SILICON VALLEY REAL ESTATE UPDATE | JULY 2026

The headlines tell you what’s happening nationally. Your ZIP code tells you what’s happening to your home.

Across Santa Clara County, July closed with a median single-family home sales price of approximately $1.9M, up 1.06% year-over-year, with 724 homes sold and an average of 30 days on market.

But when we zoom into two of our local markets, the story gets much more interesting:

📍 SARATOGA | 95070
Recent data shows a median sale price of approximately $4.17M, with homes selling in about 13 days. Roughly 54.8% of homes sold above asking, and the average sale-to-list ratio was approximately 101.6%.

That tells me something important: buyers are still willing to compete for the right Saratoga home but pricing, presentation and positioning matter more than ever.

📍 WEST SAN JOSE | 95129
The 95129 market remains highly competitive. Recent sales data shows a median price of approximately $2.49M, around 10 days on market, and 85 homes sold, a 27.4% increase year-over-year.

Zillow’s July data places the typical 95129 home value at approximately $2.57M, up 2.4% over the past year.

✨ What does this mean for homeowners?

There is no single “Silicon Valley market.”

A home in Saratoga 95070 may behave very differently from a home just minutes away in 95129 and even within the same ZIP code, school boundaries, lot size, condition, street, architecture and micro-neighborhood can dramatically change value.

If you're wondering:

“What could my home actually sell for in today’s market?”

I’d be happy to prepare a personalized neighborhood and property analysis not just an automated estimate and review impact of Prop 19 updates.

📩 Message me “EQUITY” and I’ll take a closer look.

Heart & Home with Aimee & Ali 🏡🥢
This weeks restaurant feature: ASIA LIVE at Westfield Valley Fair.

Knowing the best table in the house is part of the job description when you work Silicon Valley real estate. Buyers don't just ask us "what's the school district" they ask "where do I eat." And a market this competitive, you need an agent who knows both.

Asia Live is the newest reason Santana Row/Valley Fair keeps pulling buyers toward West San Jose — 15,000 sq ft, two stories, sister concept to San Francisco's China Live, and the Sheng Jian Bao dumplings alone are worth the drive.

This is what "know your market" actually looks like on our team — not just comps, the whole neighborhood.

📍 Westfield Valley Fair, San Jose
🥟 Try the Sheng Jian Bao

Comment "LOCAL" and we'll send you our Silicon Valley neighborhood guide — the best eats, the best schools, and the homes actually worth touring.

☀️ When the heat rises, a little extra care goes a long way.

Keep water close, slow down, close the shades, give pets a cool place to rest and check in on the people you love especially children, seniors and neighbors.

Because protecting your heart and home begins with looking out for one another. ❤️🏡
