🔍 Santa Clara May 2025 Market Update

As we move through the heart of spring, Santa Clara's real estate market continues to show signs of strength and resilience. Whether you’re considering listing your home or preparing to buy, here’s a breakdown of what the latest data means for you.

📉 Months supply of inventory: 1.98

With inventory sitting just under two months, Santa Clara remains in solid seller’s market territory. A balanced market typically has 5–6 months of inventory, so this low level suggests continued high demand and limited choices for buyers.

📈 12-month change in inventory: +0.21%

While this is a slight increase from last year, the overall supply is still very tight. This subtle shift could indicate early signs of stabilization, but for now, sellers still have the upper hand.

⏳ Median days on market: 11

Homes in Santa Clara are moving fast—averaging less than two weeks on the market. This quick turnover is a clear indicator that buyers are actively searching and ready to make competitive offers.

💸 Sold to list price: 104%

On average, homes are selling for 4% over asking. Bidding wars remain common, especially for well-presented and competitively priced properties. Sellers are reaping the benefits of a highly engaged buyer pool.

🏠 Median sold price: $1,740,000

Santa Clara continues to command high prices, reflective of both strong demand and the city’s status as a desirable location in Silicon Valley. Buyers should be ready to compete at the higher end of the market, while sellers can expect robust offers.

🧭 What this means for you:

🟩 If you're a seller:
With limited competition and buyers offering over asking, now is a great time to list. A well-priced, well-marketed home can sell quickly—and for top dollar.

🟦 If you're a buyer:
Act fast, be prepared to compete, and work closely with a local expert to position your offer as strongly as possible.
