Autumn Steadiness in Santa Clara County Real Estate

🍂 September 2025 Market Update — Santa Clara County

As autumn settles into the Bay Area, the Santa Clara County housing market continues to show steady strength and a healthy pace. Just like the change in seasons, we’re seeing a market that’s balancing out, still warm, but with a softer edge compared to the frenzied pace of past years.

📊 By the Numbers

• Median Sale Price: $1.96M — up 3% from September 2024

• Active Listings: 1,137 — up 5% year over year

• Closed Sales: 700 — up 10% from last September

• Average Days to Sell: 25 — 14% faster than a year ago

🍁 What’s Happening in the Market

Inventory has ticked up slightly, giving buyers a bit more to choose from, while sellers continue to benefit from strong pricing and quick sales for homes that show well. With the average home selling in just under four weeks, demand remains solid, especially for properties in sought-after neighborhoods with great schools, walkability, and updated finishes.

Buyers are adjusting to higher rates by being more selective, but when the right home appears, they’re ready to move. For sellers, that means presentation and pricing are key, think of it like setting the stage for a warm fall welcome.

🏡 Looking Ahead

As we move deeper into fall, the market tends to take on a cozier rhythm, fewer new listings, but plenty of motivated buyers hoping to settle in before the holidays. Santa Clara County continues to stand out as one of the Bay Area’s most resilient markets, with a strong foundation of demand, limited supply, and lifestyle appeal that keeps people rooted here year-round.
