Santa Clara
market reports.

Every monthly, quarterly, and year-end report for the Santa Clara single-family market, in one place. Washington County MLS data, updated every month, read the way I would explain it to a neighbor. Santa Clara is a small, tight market on the west side, where a single closing can move the citywide read. I weight the quarterly and year-end heavier than the monthly.

Right now in Santa Clara

The two reports worth reading first.

The newest month for the freshest signal, and the latest quarter for the steadier trend. In a tight market like Santa Clara, I weight the quarterly heavier than the monthly.

Based on information from the Washington County Board of REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service for the period 9/1/2026 through 9/30/2026 (monthly), 7/1/2026 through 9/30/2026 (quarterly), and 1/1/2025 through 12/31/2025 (annual). Single-family figures. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The state of the market

Where Santa Clara sits, and what it means if you are selling.

Single-family median, by report
Washington County MLS

Each point is a published report's single-family median. The line fills in as new monthly reports are added. Annual and quarterly anchors are noted in the archive below.

Here is the honest read as of early October 2026. The quarters are the anchor. The third quarter closed sixteen single-family homes at a median of $551,400, 23% under a Q3 2025 that carried more top-end sales, with sellers collecting full list price. The second quarter closed eighteen at $610,000, up 9% against Q2 2025. Q1 2026 came in at $678,750, off 3% on the year, and 2025 closed at $656,995, up 4% on 76 sales. Those three figures, not any single month, are where I would start.

The monthlies inside the quarter show why. April printed $577,450 on 8 closings, May jumped to $647,500 on just 5, June came back to $577,500 on 4, July landed at $526,200 on 6, August came in at $565,000 on 7 while new listings doubled to sixteen, and September printed $605,000 on just 4. Each one is honest on its own and none of them gives you the trend. The whole city closed seventy-six single-family sales in 2025, roughly six a month, so one Entrada or Hills at Santa Clara closing can move a monthly median by ten percent or more. July’s 23% year-over-year drop is a mix story: last July carried closings at the top of the range and this July did not.

The healthier signals held up through the summer. Homes went under contract in an average of 28 days in July, the fastest reading of the year, and sellers collected about 99% of list, three points better than last July. August held the pattern at 49 days and 100% of list. Inventory is wider than it was a year ago and new contracts written in the second quarter were down sharply, so competition among listings is real. What it means if you are selling: skip the single-month headlines, work from the 2026 quarterlies and the 2025 annual, and price to your actual comparable set. That is exactly what a Santa Clara home valuation is built to sort out.

The local layer

The Hills at Santa Clara, Paradise Village, Vineyards, and Entrada at the top end all trade at different price points. Santa Clara counted roughly 8,889 residents in the most recent Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute estimate. The whole city closed seventy-six single-family sales in 2025. A single Entrada closing moves the median. Your street has its own story.

Your home, not the median

The Santa Clara median moved 22% in a year. Did your home?

Maybe more, maybe less. An Entrada custom and a Vineyards townhome do not move at the same rate, and the citywide median cannot tell you which one you own. The valuation questionnaire can. About three minutes, no signup wall.
