Based on sales reported to NorCal MLS Alliance in the 12 months through mid-December 2025. Not all sales are reported to MLS Statistics are generalities, essentially summaries of widely disparate data generated by dozens, hundreds or thousands of unique individual sales occurring within a specific period. They are best seen not as precise measurements, but as broad, comparative indicators, with reasonable margins of error. Median values often vary from one period to another for reasons unrelated to changes in fair market value and can change constantly as new sales are reported Data from sources deemed reliable but may contain errors and subject to revision. All numbers to be considered approximate.
Median Sales Price is that price at which half the properties sold for more and half for less. It may be affected by political, economic or environmental events; demographic shifts; changes in inventory and buying trends; seasonality; as well as by changes in fair market value. The median sales price for an area will typically conceal an enormous variety of sales prices in the underlying individual sales.
Dollar per Square Foot is based upon the home’s interior living space and does not include garages, storage rooms, unfinished attics and basements, rooms built without permit, patios, decks or lot size - though all these can add value. Square footage figures are usually derived from appraisals or tax records but are sometimes
unreliable or unreported altogether. All things being equal, a larger house will sell for a higher price but a lower dollar per square foot value. But all things are rarely equal, especially between different communities.
In some markets, lot size and acreage are significant components of home value.
Many aspects of value cannot be adequately reflected in median statistics: architectural style and curb appeal, age, condition, quality of construction, amenities, views, yards, gardens, lot size, “bonus” rooms, additional parking, quality of location within the neighborhood, and so on. Analysis made in good faith from sources deemed reliable, but all numbers are approximate, may contain errors and subject to revision. Some markets saw relatively few sales in the period measured, which can affect the reliability of the statistics. How the values herein apply to any particular property is unknown without a specific comparative market analysis
