What homes actually sold for last month in each Peninsula and South Bay city, next to the national luxury benchmark. This is market data, not a valuation of your home.
Showing closed sales for June 2026, the most recent month published. For reference, the national luxury single-family median was $1,830,899 with an average of 33 days on market, covering the top 10% of 120 U.S. markets in May 2026.
City figures: SAMCAR (San Mateo County) and SCCAOR (Santa Clara County) monthly market reports, data compiled by MLSListings, Inc. National figures: Institute for Luxury Home Marketing data, reported in Coldwell Banker's 2026 Mid-Year Report, p. 10. Figures reflect closed sales and are not a valuation of any individual property.
The median sold price is the midpoint of every sale that closed in a city that month. It mixes a tear-down on a busy road with a renovated estate on an acre. In the smaller Peninsula cities, where a handful of homes close in a given month, one unusual sale moves the median noticeably. Treat it as the altitude your market is flying at, then ask what your specific house does relative to it.
Most Peninsula cities show a figure above 100 percent, which means homes sold for more than they were listed at. That is partly competition and partly convention: in a thin-inventory market, homes are often deliberately listed below expected value to generate multiple offers. So a city at 114 percent is not necessarily hotter than a city at 98 percent. It is frequently just priced differently, and the higher-value cities tend to list closer to what sellers actually expect to receive.
Price gets the attention, but time on market is what tells you whether your pricing matched the room. A city averaging 18 days is one where correctly priced homes move on the first weekend of showings. If your home sits materially longer than its city average, the market is usually giving you feedback about price rather than about the house.
These are closed sales reported by the county associations, so they describe what already happened rather than what is happening this week. They also do not capture condition, location within a city, or off-market activity, all of which move an individual number substantially. San Mateo County publishes single-family data only, so condo and townhome figures appear for Santa Clara County cities.
In June 2026 the median single-family sale in San Mateo County closed at $2,150,000, with homes averaging 20 days on market and selling at 107 percent of list price. City medians ranged from $1,050,000 in La Honda to $10,280,000 in Atherton, so the county figure describes the county rather than any particular street. Use the tool above to pull the number for your own city.
In June 2026 the median single-family sale in Santa Clara County closed at $1,910,000, averaging 22 days on market and 103 percent of list price. City medians ranged from $1,100,000 in Gilroy to $5,481,000 in Los Altos Hills. Santa Clara also publishes condo and townhome figures separately, which the tool shows for the cities where they exist.
Percent of list price received ran above 100 percent in most Peninsula and South Bay cities in June 2026, reaching 114 percent in Daly City and 112 percent in Monte Sereno. That reflects a pricing convention as much as a bidding war. When inventory is thin, homes are often listed below expected value to attract multiple offers, so the final number clears list by design. A city selling at 96 percent of list, as both Woodside and La Honda did that month, is not necessarily a weaker market. It is more often a differently priced one, where higher-value homes are listed closer to what sellers actually expect to receive.
Almost certainly not exactly. A median is the midpoint of everything that closed that month, mixing lot sizes, conditions, vintages and streets. In a city where only eight homes sold, a single unusual sale moves it noticeably. The median tells you the altitude of your market, not the value of your house. This page is market data and is not a valuation.
The national luxury single-family median was $1,830,899 in May 2026, with an average of 33 days on market. That figure covers the top 10 percent of 120 United States markets, per Institute for Luxury Home Marketing data, reported in Coldwell Banker's 2026 Mid-Year Report. Both San Mateo County at $2,150,000 and Santa Clara County at $1,910,000 sat above it, and both sold faster, at 20 and 22 days. The two are different slices of the market, since the county figures cover all single-family sales rather than a luxury subset, so the comparison is best read as a measure of scale.
City figures come from the monthly SAMCAR and SCCAOR market reports, with data compiled by MLSListings, Inc. The page states which month it reflects and is refreshed when each new month publishes. One limitation worth knowing: the San Mateo County report covers single-family homes only, so condo and townhome medians appear for Santa Clara County cities.
A median tells you the altitude of your market. It does not tell you what your house would bring on a given Tuesday in September.
