What it means for buyers and sellers
Redfin gives Menlo Park a Compete Score of 78, "very competitive." Many homes get multiple offers, some with waived contingencies, and the average home sells for about 2% over list in around 17 days; hot homes go for about 7% over in around nine days. Fewer homes sold than a year ago, but sellers cut prices less often, and both Redfin and Zillow show values rising. Compare nearby cities in our Palo Alto and Redwood City reports.
Redfin figures cover the three months through September 2026 and compare with the same period a year earlier. Zillow's Home Value Index is a typical-home estimate, not a sale price, so the two numbers measure different things and won't match exactly.
