For buyers priced out of Santa Clara County's $1.88 million single-family market, condos and townhomes are the main alternative. In September the countywide median for that segment was $852,500 on 262 sales, according to the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors' city-by-city report. Homes averaged 42 days on market and sold at 100% of list price.

The takeaway
San Jose had by far the most condo and townhome sales, and its $729,000 median is less than half the city's single-family median of $1,568,888. Condos are also selling more slowly than houses countywide, giving buyers a bit more room to negotiate.
Several cities had very few sales, so their medians can change sharply from month to month.
