The Santa Clara housing market in October experienced 62 single-family homes that closed escrow, which is four more than sold in the previous month of September.
During October there were 51 homes that accepted contracts, an increase from the prior month’s 47 homes. During the month there were 74 new active listings that came on the market.
The average price of a home sold in October was $1.53M which is about $70K higher than last month’s figure of $1.46M. The Median price home sold was $1.46M, which is about $60K higher than September’s median price.
The average cost per square foot increased from $923 per Sq. Ft. to $956. Of the 62 homes sold in October, half sold over the list price.
On average homes that sold, sold 2.54% over asking compared to 2.78% over asking in the previous month.
We started the month of October with 51 active single-family home listings and finished with 59 in all of Santa Clara.
More sales in October than September. Median price, average price, and price per square foot all increasing. Generally this time of year sales are winding down and inventory is dropping. For the last few months we have seen sales increasing and inventory trending between 45 and 55 homes.
Although the market isn’t as hot as markets we have experienced in the past where most homes sell and prices are increasing rapidly, it certainly looks as though we me be heading that way.
Record low interest rates and a booming stock market are certainly making affordability easier for many high tech workers in the valley.
Altos Research Market Data For Santa Clara
Now that we are well into the fall market and the holidays are approaching inventory has finally started to die down. Inventory for the past two weeks has been in the low 40s, and very likely to drop further as we approach the end of the year.
As inventory drops the market will tighten further and if buyer activity remains steady expect the more and more multiple offer scenarios and increasing home values.

Now the at the election is over and the democrats have regained the presidency buying activity is likely to increase further. Democrats are likely to reverse the visa and immigration restrictions imposed by the previous administration. These policies will ease the concerns of visa holders who make a large portion of the silicon valley workforce and encourage them to make long term home buying decisions.
The only uncertainty that remains is the long term implications of the pandemic and when life will finally return back to normal. As Europe enters its second wave and starts to shut down again, Santa Clara has recently announced that it is returning back to Red from Orange status. Signalling the likelihood of further shutdowns or perhaps a return back to shelter in place.
While concerns over the pandemic and its consequences are unresolved, the long term implications can be very positive for home values in the valley. Buyers will need more space as the prospect of working from home becomes more permanent. Also the FED will likely have to keep rates low and release more stimulous to help out of work Americans.
One last factor which I will not be able to go into too much detail is Prop 19. The passage of this ballot measure will certainly have a large impact on residential real estate in California. For more about that read my post on Prop 19.
Buyers, time could be running out before the market begins to get overheated and prices jump. As the opportunities start drying up in the coming weeks, you will want to accelerate your home purchase before prices go up in the new year.
Sellers, October wasn’t much of a jump from September, but November may start the shift into a much tighter market. One where price increases are likely to be more substantial. If you subscribe to our Altos Research Reports you probably have been noticing that the Market Action Index (MAI) has been trending upward in the last few months. Now and the coming months will be a great time to sell.
As always be sure to understand what you are buying or selling. Knowing how your home or the home you are considering buying fits in the current market is important to determine the right price.
