Santa Clara's median sale price was about $1.64 million in the three months through September 2026, nearly flat from a year ago, and homes drew about three offers each.
The numbers
- Median sale price: $1,643,717, down 0.73% year over year
- Price per square foot: about $980, down 2.8%
- Homes sold in September: 195, up from 181 a year earlier
- Median days on market: 20, up from 15
- Sale-to-list ratio: 103.0%; 59.9% of homes sold above list

What Zillow shows
Zillow's Home Value Index puts the typical Santa Clara home at $1,642,638 as of Sept. 30, 2026, up 0.5% from a year earlier. Zillow says homes go pending in about 20 days.
What it means for buyers and sellers
Redfin and Zillow agree almost exactly here: about $1.64 million, roughly flat for the year. Redfin's Compete Score is 77, "very competitive"; the average home sells about 3% over list in around 18 days. More price cuts and slightly longer market times suggest the market has cooled a bit from last year's pace.
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.
