Executive Overview
The real estate market in San Jose, CA (ZIP: 95123) shows a median sold price of $1,399,000, reflecting a slight price correction in the area. This price indicates a stable market despite a year-over-year trend that is down overall. The market's current conditions suggest a potential for stabilization and modest appreciation moving forward, driven by strong demand primarily from the tech sector and increasing rental demand.
Transaction activity appears moderate, with 239 days on market indicating slower sales velocity. The elevated inventory levels relative to sales activity may suggest a shift in market dynamics, where buyers have more options but also face a longer decision-making process. As interest rates moderate, buyer activity may increase, potentially leading to a more balanced market in the coming months.
