FEB 2026 | Real Estate Market Update | Santa Clara County | Heather Lange Homes

Read more... https://heatherlangehomes.com/feb-202... FEB 2026 Stats for Single Family Homes in Santa Clara County are here! February strengthened across nearly every key metric. Let’s dive in to look at SFHs in Santa Clara County as compared to January. Active homes increased 45%, ending February with 1,013 Single Family Homes. Pending Sales went up by 50% and Sold Sales up by 55% from January. Buyers continued to enjoy more choice with more inventory, which dipped slightly to 2.1 months’ worth from January, yet homes are selling faster and for more money. That tells us demand is absorbing supply quickly. Buyers are stepping in aggressively when the right home hits the market. The Average Days on Market dropped 28% from 32 days to 23 days. The Average Sales Price jumped 13% to just a bit over $2.5ML. The Sale to List priced climbed to 105.5%! And the Average Price per Square Foot increased 5% to $1,220 per SF. This is acceleration. Not just activity, but competition! The 30-year Conforming Fixed Mortgage Rate eased slightly to 6.15% throughout the month and then dipped just below 6% for the first time in 3 years in the last week of February. Sellers: This is not a “wait and see” moment. It is a “prepare and execute” window. Homes are selling nearly 30% faster than last month and commanding 5.5% over ask price on average. That is meaningful leverage. Buyers are competing again. That said, the market is rewarding precision. Overpricing in a fast market can still stall momentum. The homes driving these numbers are: • Properly priced from day one • Well prepared and professionally presented • Positioned strategically to create demand With inventory rising, you cannot rely on scarcity alone. The opportunity right now is to list while demand is clearly outpacing absorption. The data supports decisive action, not hesitation. Buyers: Competition has returned. Just looking at the sale to list ratio at 105.5% confirms bidding pressure is real. Prices are up 13% month over month and price per square foot rose 5%. That signals buyers are stretching again for quality homes. Days on market shrinking to 23 days means hesitation costs leverage. If you are serious about buying: • Be fully pre-approved, not casually pre-qualified • Know your comfort ceiling before you write an offer • Expect competition on well-priced homes • Move quickly when the right opportunity appears Mortgage rates ticked down slightly to under 6%, but that modest improvement is not what’s driving this surge – it’s buyer confidence and seasonal momentum. Waiting for rates to drop significantly could mean chasing higher prices instead.
