Willow Glen December Market Report

Happy New Year, Willow Glen! 🥂 We are officially closing the book on 2025, and the final numbers tell a fascinating story. If you felt like the market took a slight breath at the end of the year, you weren’t imagining it.

🏡 Median Sales Price: ~$1.8M (Down slightly ~7.1% year-over-year — buyers, this is your window!)

Speed of Sale: 21 Days on Market (Up from 16 days last year. The frenzy has cooled, giving you a week+ more to decide)

📉 Inventory Check: Still tight, but recovering. (San Jose inventory is up ~30% compared to last year’s lows)

🔮 The 2026 Forecast: Experts are predicting a “steady” year ahead. We aren’t expecting a rocket ship 🚀 or a crash 📉—we are looking at modest growth (~2-4%) and stabilizing rates.

The Takeaway:

  • Buyers: You have leverage we haven’t seen in years. Use those extra days on market to negotiate.

  • Sellers: It is still a seller’s market, but “aspirational pricing” is out. Strategic pricing is the only way to win in 2026.
