What This Means

San Jose's housing market just kicked into higher gear this March, with sales jumping 55% month-over-month and the median price climbing 9.2% to $1.431 million. This kind of surge is typical for spring—buyers emerge from winter hibernation and listings multiply—but the numbers suggest more than just seasonal enthusiasm. Homes are selling above asking at a 104.2% ratio, and inventory is moving faster, with average days on market shrinking to 46 days. That's a seller's market signal, even if it's slightly softer than it was a year ago.

The year-over-year picture tells a more complicated story. While median prices are up 4.6%, sales volume actually dipped 5.9% compared to March 2025. That gap hints at a market sorting itself out: fewer total transactions, but the ones that do close command higher prices. With 1,233 active listings on the books, there's more choice than a few months back, yet buyers still aren't getting deals—they're paying premiums. Interest rates and affordability likely still weigh on overall transaction volume, even as spring seasonality and local job growth keep bidding pressure alive. For now, San Jose remains firmly seller-friendly territory.
