There's a magical part of Santa Cruz that many people haven't discovered yet.

The 95065 zip code covers parts of northeastern Santa Cruz, including Prospect Heights, the Thurber Lane area and Happy Valley, and reaches into the foothills toward Scotts Valley. Home values here are going up, but the most interesting part is the history and charm in each of these neighborhoods. Many of them are still truly undiscovered.

Here's what Zillow shows for 95065 right now.

According to Zillow's latest market update for Santa Cruz 95065, the typical home value is $1,332,909. One year ago it was $1,271,869. That's about $61,000 more, a 4.8% increase in 12 months.

At the same time, 30 homes are for sale and only 6 sold recently.

So which is it? Is the market strong or slow?

It's both. Buyers are still paying good money, but only for homes that feel like a good value and show well. The homes that are priced right, prepped well and easy to love are the ones selling. The others stay on the market, and every week that goes by makes buyers more careful about them.

For buyers, that's an opportunity. With 30 homes available, there's room to negotiate in one of the most special corners of Santa Cruz.

For sellers, most don't need a perfect home. They need a home that makes sense to buyers the moment they walk in, at a price that matches what buyers see.

The good news is your equity is probably stronger than you think. The question is how to protect it when you sell, or how to make the most of it when you buy.

If you're curious where you fit in today's 95065 market, I'm happy to share a quick, no-pressure look at values or what's available right now. Just send me a message.

Here's what a local lender is seeing right now.

In his 10/14 newsletter, of CrossCountry Mortgage Santa Cruz shared a snapshot of the recent Santa Cruz County transactions his team is working with:

13 sold under asking

2 sold at asking

1 sold over asking

4 sold off-market

This isn't the whole market - it's a real-time look from someone who sees financing and closings every day. Most people assume every home here goes over asking. The good news is this snapshot tells a different story. Many homes may have room to negotiate, and well-prepared buyers can move with confidence.

Ryan also noted that inflation came in higher, and mortgage markets opened down 60 basis points before going back to normal. Rate pricing can shift within a single day, so it helps to have a local lender watching it closely.

Thank you, Ryan, for sharing what you're seeing.

I'm curious - would it be helpful to see what this means for your next move? DM me "MARKET" and I'm happy to bring Ryan in on the financing side.

Santa Cruz buyers still compete, even when price trends don’t all point the same direction. Here’s what actually makes this market move. 🏡

Even with mixed price signals and headlines, Santa Cruz homes often see competing offers and quick moves because the supply of for-sale homes stays tight. Affordability constraints keep many would-be buyers on the sidelines, but for those actively searching, desirable listings attract attention fast. At the same time, a portion of homes may see price reductions or spend longer on the market, creating an environment where buyers and sellers both need a clear game plan to succeed.

The market’s mixed signals demand strategy, buyers benefit from knowing how to spot real opportunities and move confidently, while sellers should price carefully and focus on standout marketing. Every transaction here is shaped by supply-and-demand tension, so making smart decisions and timing your move can have a real impact.

💾 Save this if you want to outsmart the Santa Cruz market, or send it to someone who needs a clear plan before making their next move.

OROPHILE (say it "OR-oh-file") - a person who loves mountains.

Living in Santa Cruz, you get the beautiful views and ridgelines of the Santa Cruz Mountains. They protect us like a large wall or range from the rest of the world and make the Santa Cruz area feel like an island. The redwood forests hold some of the most beautiful views in and around them.

But every now and then, you run into the granddaddy of massive presence, and that would be the granite peaks of Yosemite, such as Half Dome. Just being in the presence of these mountain peaks is otherworldly.

I am excited, humbled, and affected by their presence here in Santa Cruz and there in Yosemite.

The Earth Dog month started October 8 - a season of solid ground and loyal protection.

In Ba Zi, this month is Earth on Earth, with warm fire stored underneath. It's like a hearth after summer: quieter, steadier, and still glowing.

In real estate, that looks like a simple question: Is this home on solid ground?

Most buyers this fall aren't rushing. They want to trust what they're buying. The good news is that sellers who prepare their inspections, disclosures, and records ahead of time give buyers that confidence. That's often what turns interest into a strong offer.

If you're thinking about a move this season, I'm curious - would it be helpful to walk through what "solid ground" looks like for your home?

💡 Save this if you want deeper insights, not just quick takes, sometimes, the bigger picture is where your real strengths show up.
