Year-Over-Year Comparison

What This Means
San Jose's housing market continues its slow climb into spring with modest but steady gains. Home prices have nudged up 2.7 percent month-over-month to a median of $1.47 million, and sales volume is keeping pace with a small uptick in transactions. The fact that homes are selling above listing price—at a 103.5 percent sale-to-list ratio—suggests there's still underlying buyer demand, even if it's not frenzied. However, the 19.7 percent year-over-year drop in sales volume tells the real story: far fewer people are buying than this time last year. Spring seasonality should be helping, but it's clearly not enough to overcome the cooling that started in 2025.
What's notable is how long homes are lingering. Days on market jumped from 46 to 49 days month-over-month, a sign that even with multiple interested parties, negotiations are taking longer and deals are tougher to close. The tech sector's ongoing uncertainties and persistent mortgage rates above 6 percent continue to weigh on buyer confidence. With 1,543 active listings on the market, inventory remains relatively healthy, which keeps upward price pressure in check. For buyers, this could be a rare window of opportunity before summer demand kicks in.
