📉 Inventory remains tight 

The Months Supply of Inventory sits at 1.57, keeping Santa Clara firmly in seller’s market territory. A balanced market typically has 5–6 months of supply, so this figure highlights the ongoing demand for homes.

📊 Year-over-year vs. month-to-month shifts 

While the 12-Month Change in Inventory shows a small increase of +3%, the short-term story is different—inventory actually dropped 16% in the past month. This dip suggests an even more competitive environment for buyers heading into late summer.

⏳ Homes are selling quickly 

The Median Days on Market is just 16 days. Properties are moving fast, leaving little time for buyers to deliberate. Sellers, on the other hand, can expect timely interest and offers once their homes hit the market.

💰 Sold-to-list price stays strong 

Homes in Santa Clara are selling at an average of 101% of list price. This indicates that buyers are still willing to pay slightly above asking, underscoring the strong demand.

🏠 High property values remain 

With a Median Sold Price of $1,570,000, Santa Clara continues to reflect its premium market status. This sets expectations for both affordability challenges for buyers and strong returns for sellers.

🧭 What this means for you

🟩 Sellers: Low inventory and quick sales mean you’re in a great position to attract strong offers. Listing now could maximize your return.
🟦 Buyers: The market is moving quickly. Having pre-approval in hand and working with an experienced local agent is essential to stand out.
