🏡📊 SANTA CLARA COUNTY REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE
📅 August 2026
Santa Clara County remains a seller’s market, but the latest numbers reveal a market that is becoming more balanced and creating new opportunities for prepared buyers. 🔑
🔴 Median Sold Price: $1,518,401
🔻 Down approximately 5.0% month over month
🟢 Sold-to-List Price Ratio: 102.1%
✅ Homes are still selling for approximately 2.1% above asking price overall
🔵 Median Days on Market: Just 14 days
⚡ Attractive, properly priced homes continue to sell quickly
🟠 Months of Inventory: 2.02 months
✅ Down 2.9% from last month
📈 But up 14.8% compared with one year ago
🟣 Median Price of New Listings: $1,549,999
⬆️ Up 6.9% month over month
🏠 What does this mean for sellers?
✔️ Limited inventory continues to support property values
✔️ Well-prepared and strategically priced homes can still attract multiple offers
✔️ Buyers are paying above asking price overall—but presentation, condition, location and pricing matter more than ever
🔑 What does this mean for buyers?
✔️ More inventory than a year ago may offer additional choices
✔️ The monthly decline in the median sold price could create negotiating opportunities
✔️ However, desirable homes can still move quickly and sell above the asking price—so strong financing and a disciplined offer strategy remain essential
📌 Bottom line: Santa Clara County is still competitive, but it is no longer a market where every property should automatically be expected to rise or generate aggressive bidding. Success now requires evaluating the specific neighborhood, property condition, comparable sales and current competition.
