Here is a recap of the Santa Clara housing market in March. There were 50 single-family homes that closed escrow in March, which was more than the 18 which sold in February. The average days on market of those homes sold went to 11 days from 13 days the previous month, and median days decreased to 7 from 8.
The average price of a home sold in March 2020 was $1.34M which is about $120K lower than last month’s figure of $1.46M. The Median price home sold was $1.38M, which is about $60K lower than February’s median price.
The average cost per square foot increased from $979 per Sq. Ft. to $1,018. Of the 50 homes sold in March, 46 sold over asking. On average homes sold 11.2% over asking compared to 9.6% over asking in the previous month.
We started the month of March with just 10 active listings and finished with 25 in all of Santa Clara.
In March we experienced a rapid shift in the market. Fears of the spread of the Corona virus and forced governments to put in place shelter in place policies. The policies have shut down non-essential businesses which were first enacted by neighboring counties and then by the state. So how is this affecting the market in Santa Clara?
The reality is that some homes are still selling. We are noticing more cautious behavior from buyers in terms of offers, and less homes being listed due to shelter in place restrictions.
Just last week, real estate has been named an essential service in California and new policies regarding listings and showings have been put in place. As of today, there are 35 homes on the market in Santa Clara, which is low considering we are in April.
Many of these homes have been on the market for a few weeks. Although the MLS has stopped the days on market counter during the shelter in place period, its very clear that the market has slowed considerable.

Since March 1st 84 single family home were listed and of those 47 have sold and 8 were cancelled or pulled off the market.
The homes that are selling now are very desirable homes that are priced will. Homes that need work, in less desirable areas are having trouble selling.
I expect that inventory will continue to increase through out the Summer and put downward pressure on home values.
As a seller right now understand that the prospects moving forward for home values are not positive. I don’t expect dramatic drops, such as those that we experienced in the housing crisis (See Our Post on The Corona virus and Housing Market) but sellers who need to move are going to start dropping their prices to get their home’s sold.
Buyers, this is a good opportunity to buy a home in rare slow market. Not all sellers are going to feel the pressure to sell right now, some may opt to hold off until next year. By actively looking right now you are in a better position to find the right home than you would be in a competitive market.
