This week’s Santa Clara County Market Update
Week ending 8/3/2026
Santa Clara County’s housing market began August with inventory holding nearly steady and buyer activity easing modestly. New listings totaled 409, down 1%
from last week, while pending sales fell 5% to 277. That widened the gap between homes coming to market and homes going under contract from 121 to 132.
The demand picture varied by property type. Single-family pending sales declined 16%, pending condo sales were nearly flat, and pending townhome sales rose 44%. Closed sales increased 15% to 243, but closings reflect contracts written several weeks ago, so pending activity offers the better read on current momentum. Price reductions remained elevated at 167, up 1%, reinforcing that accurate pricing continues
For sellers, the market is still moving, but buyers are distinguishing between homes that are well prepared and well priced and those that miss the mark. With more new listings than pending sales, thoughtful positioning from the start remains one of the best ways to protect negotiating leverage.
For buyers, steady new inventory and softer overall pending activity may create more opportunity to compare options and negotiate, particularly in the single-family segment. Attached-home activity was mixed, however, with townhomes strengthening while condos remained nearly flat. It is another reminder that conditions can differ considerably by property type, neighborhood, and price point.
One week does not establish a trend, but this week’s numbers point to an active, increasingly segmented market where strategy matters on both sides of the transaction.
Curious what these numbers mean for your home, neighborhood, or next move? Let’s talk.
