Is it a good time to sell a home in San Jose right now?
Yes—depending on your goals, it can be an excellent time. San Jose’s low inventory, steady buyer demand, and tech‑driven economy support strong home values. But the best timing always depends on your neighborhood and your personal plans.
San Jose isn’t a boom‑and‑bust market. Even with rate changes, strong employment, low supply, and constant relocation needs keep the market moving. Homes that are priced correctly still sell quickly.
Inventory levels in San Jose remain far below historical averages. This gives sellers an advantage—less competition and more visibility. In neighborhoods like Willow Glen, Cambrian, Almaden, and Santa Clara, well‑prepped homes consistently draw strong interest.
Serious buyers continue searching, especially local move‑up buyers, tech employees with equity, and families targeting top school districts. Even during slower seasons, real buyers stay active.
The best time to sell is when your home is ready and your timeline aligns. You’re in a strong position if:
- You have enough equity
- Your home is in good condition
- You’re ready to move within 60–90 days
- Recent sales in your area show stable demand
Waiting for lower rates may seem attractive, but lower rates often bring more listings and more competition. Selling now may give you better negotiating leverage.
In many parts of San Jose, Days on Market has remained steady and homes that are staged and priced correctly continue to attract early offers. Preparation and pricing matter more than timing alone.
A recent Willow Glen listing priced and launched strategically by Kip and Tam received multiple offers despite higher interest rates—showing how the right approach can outperform market conditions.
