Where the market stands

This page shows the market three ways. The table just below compares this week across Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, and Monterey. County Market Detail pulls almost-live county figures from Aculist. Full Market Reports links the live weekly Altos reports and the quarterly Coldwell Banker report.

Metric Santa Cruz Santa Clara Monterey
Median List Price $1,512,500 $1,879,944 $1,375,000
Price Per Sq Ft $728 $1,011 $694
Median Days on Market 49 28 49
Price Decreased 33% 28% 30%
Inventory 386 1,204 453
Market Action Index 38 55 40

How to read these:

  • Price Decreased is the share of active listings with at least one price reduction since they came on market. A higher number means more sellers are adjusting.
  • Inventory is the number of active single-family listings for sale. More of it means more choice for buyers and less pressure to move fast.
  • Market Action Index (MAI) compares sales pace to inventory. Altos calls 30 the dividing line. Above 30 favors sellers. Below 30 favors buyers.
