San Jose, Cupertino, and Morgan Hill can print three different stories in the same month. These notes are October 2026 figures from the Santa Clara County Association of REALTORS®, so you can start a conversation. They are not a substitute for comps on your block.
$1,575,000 median sale
San Jose single-family homes, October 2026. A single month, not a forecast.
$2,010,000 median sale
Santa Clara County single-family homes, October 2026. The county condo and townhome median was $900,000. A single month, not a forecast.
Average 26 days on market
San Jose single-family sales in October 2026. The county average was 23 days. Street by street is what counts.
More listings than a year ago does not mean the house you want is negotiable. Clean houses on obvious streets still draw competition. The leverage, when it exists, is in condition, days on market, and a seller who priced last spring’s number.
The first two weeks still do most of the work. A price that needs “the market to catch up” usually becomes a reduction, and reductions in this county get read as a story. Better to start at the number the last three sales support.
