Silicon Valley Real Estate Market Update — Spring 2026

The Silicon Valley real estate market continues to evolve as we enter spring 2026. With mortgage rates stabilizing in the low 6% range and inventory gradually increasing, buyers have more options than they have had in recent years.

Whether you are a first-time buyer exploring neighborhoods like Campbell and Milpitas, or a homeowner considering a strategic move in established communities like Willow Glen or Los Gatos, understanding the current market dynamics is essential to making an informed decision.

Here are the key trends shaping Silicon Valley real estate this spring:

Inventory Is Growing — But Strategically

Active listings across Santa Clara County have increased approximately 10% compared to this time last year. This is welcome news for buyers who have been competing in multiple-offer situations, though well-priced homes in top school districts continue to move quickly.

Rate Stability Creates Opportunity

With rates trading between 5.9% and 6.9%, buyers can plan with more confidence than the volatile rate environment of recent years. As a dual-licensed REALTOR and Mortgage Originator, I help clients evaluate how different rate scenarios impact their purchasing power — and when locking makes strategic sense.

Your Next Step

Every market creates opportunity for prepared buyers and sellers. The question is whether you have the data and strategic guidance to recognize it.
