95124 Is Outperforming Almost Every Neighborhood in San Jose Right Now

Because what's happening here right now is genuinely unusual, and it matters if you're even remotely thinking about selling.

I track every sub-market in San Jose. Not just the broad strokes but the zip-level detail that actually tells you what buyers are doing and where the competition is heating up. And right now, 95124 stands apart.

Watch the full breakdown below, then keep reading.

In this video, I walk through the April 2026 numbers across San Jose's major sub-markets and explain exactly what the 95124 data means for sellers. The short version: supply went up and prices went up anyway. That almost never happens.

How 95124 Compares to the Rest of San Jose Right Now

Let me put the 95124 numbers in context, because the comparison is what makes this interesting.

Here's where other San Jose sub-markets stand in April 2026:

South San Jose: Homes are averaging 31 days before going under contract. Median sold price is just under $1.3 million.

Blossom Valley: Median sold price around $1.5 million, but inventory is piling up and days on market is sitting at 10.

Evergreen (Silver Creek area): Some of the most impressive homes in the county. Averaging around $2.2 million sold and taking about two weeks to get there.

Now here's 95124:

• Median sold price: $2.225 million
• Median days on market: 8
• Average sale price as a percentage of list price: 106%
• Price per square foot: $1,310, up more than 8% since February

Eight days. One hundred and six percent of asking. Price per square foot jumping 8% in two months.

That's not a soft market hedging upward. That's buyers competing hard.

The Number That Surprised Me Most

Here's the part that actually caught my attention when I ran these numbers.

Inventory in 95124 is up roughly 54% compared to a year ago. More homes on the market than we had twelve months ago.

And yet prices went up anyway.

That's not how it's supposed to work. Normally, when you add supply, prices stabilize or soften. But when supply rises and price per square foot rises in the same month, it tells you something specific: demand isn't just keeping pace with inventory, it's outrunning it.

Buyers in this zip code aren't getting pickier with more options. They're getting more aggressive.

What This Means If You Own a Home in 95124

If you're a homeowner in this zip code, you're sitting in one of the most favorable seller positions in Santa Clara County right now.

The timing question, the one most sellers overthink for months, is looking unusually favorable. But timing alone doesn't close a transaction. How you come to market matters just as much as when.

Here's what separates the homes that sell fast and above asking from the ones that sit:

Pricing strategy: In a market moving this quickly, overpricing even slightly will cost you. Buyers paying 106% of list are doing it because the home was priced well to begin with, not because they threw caution out the window.

Preparation: Buyers at this price point are not making concessions for deferred maintenance. The homes winning in 95124 right now show up ready. That means pre-inspections, disclosures in order, and a presentation that earns the premium.

Positioning: How your home is framed matters. Price per square foot at $1,310 means a $50 mistake in pricing per square foot on a 2,000 square foot home is a $100,000 swing. The details are not small.

What Most Sellers in 95124 Don't Think About Early Enough

I talk to sellers every week who start the conversation by asking about timing. And timing matters, I just showed you the numbers. But the sellers who leave money on the table aren't usually the ones who timed it wrong. They're the ones who came to market without a plan.

In a market moving this fast, you don't get a second chance at a first impression. Buyers making offers at 106% of asking are doing it on homes that earned it. They did the prep. They had the strategy. They priced it right.

The homes that linger in a market like this are the ones that come in unprepared or overpriced. And in a market moving at eight days median, lingering is expensive.
