What This Means
Los Gatos showed some interesting contradictions in April, with prices ticking upward month-over-month even as the overall market cools. The 6.2% jump in median price to $2.18 million suggests that higher-end inventory may have dominated recent sales, but the year-over-year picture tells a different story—prices are essentially flat compared to last April, indicating we're not in a growth phase. What's more telling is the 26% decline in sales volume year-over-year, signaling that fewer buyers are entering the market despite these luxury price points.
The silver lining is that homes are moving faster. Average days on market dropped significantly from 70 to 52 days, and sellers are now capturing 100.3% of list price on average, suggesting the slight month-over-month price gains came from genuine demand rather than desperation pricing. However, the 201 active listings sitting with a median asking price of $1.99 million reveal growing inventory compared to the number of buyers. With properties lingering an average of 111 days on the market, the pendulum is swinging back toward buyer advantage after years of seller dominance.
