Charts should auto-update through mid-March 2026. Best practice is to wait at least 5 business days after the month ends to pull data. Charts may take a few seconds to load. Numbers may change as late-reported activity is entered into MLS. The “long-term 3-month rolling charts” reflect 3 months of sales in each data point.

Charts generated by Infosparks from listings and sales data provided by the NorCal MLS Alliance. Data from sources deemed reliable, but may contain errors and subject to revision. Different analytics programs sometimes use different data sets, statistical definitions and methodologies. All numbers are approximate and may change with late-reported activity. Monthly statistics are often subject to anomalous fluctuations. Any general compilation of sales will include a wide range of unique properties of varying location, architecture, quality of condition, renovations, square footage, lot size and amenities (views, pools, vineyards, decks, etc.). The compilations of sales themselves may vary widely from period to period, subject to a number of factors.

Median Sales Price is that price at which half the properties sold for more and half for less. It may be affected by seasonality, “unusual” events, or changes in inventory and buying trends, 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, unfinished attics and basements, rooms built without permit, patios, decks or yards (though all those can add value to a home). These figures are usually derived from appraisals or tax records, but are sometimes unreliable or unreported altogether.
