Key Findings

  1. Median sold price: $3,631,000 is the primary market-value signal and indicates sustained high-end transaction levels in Saratoga; the marketTemperature is hot, suggesting continued seller strength and competitive demand for completed transactions.
  2. Median days on market: 255 signals materially slower sales velocity than typical fast-turn markets and may indicate pricing friction or buyer selectivity rather than broad market weakness; this longer time on market appears alongside a hot marketTemperature and should prompt sellers to set realistic expectations on timing.
  3. Median listing price: $3,774,000 sits above the median sold price, which suggests some seller optimism and potential list-to-sale negotiation; buyers may find opportunities where asking prices exceed recently realized sale prices.
  4. Median market rent: $7,495 and a rent year-over-year trend of up reinforce strong rental demand, while interest rate pressure described as elevated (current 30-year fixed at 6.5% vs. a 6.0% earlier-2026 average) introduces affordability headwinds that may dampen some buyer urgency despite a generally hot market temperature.
