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 5/1/2026 through 5/31/2026 (monthly), 1/1/2026 through 3/31/2026 (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 late spring 2026. Santa Clara closed 2025 with a single-family median of $656,995, up 4% on the year, on 76 sales. The 2026 monthlies have been small and jumpy: April printed $577,450 on 8 closings, then May came in at $647,500 on just 5. May’s average sale price looked like it spiked 75%, but that was a couple of high-end closings pulling the mean, not citywide appreciation. Q1 2026 landed at $678,750, off 3% against Q1 2025, and that quarterly figure is the steadier read.

Volume is the story here. The whole city closed seventy-six single-family sales in 2025, which works out to roughly six a month, and several 2026 months have come in even thinner than that. A single Entrada or Hills at Santa Clara closing can move the monthly median by ten percent or more. February 2026 printed $731,500; April dipped to the high $500,000s; May sat in between. Each figure is honest on its own, and not one of them tells you the trend by itself.

What it means if you are selling: do not anchor on any single month, and ignore a runaway average on a five-sale month. The 2025 annual ($656,995, up 4%) and the Q1 2026 quarterly ($678,750, off 3%) are the real reads. A careful launch with the right comparable set, and an understanding of which segment you are in, are doing all the work, which 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.
