Scarcity is driving the market in 95125. 📉📈

The latest data from Willow Glen shows a fascinating “low-volume, high-competition” dynamic. Between October and January, we saw a 67% drop in monthly sales volume, yet the average sales price surged to $2.27M.

Key takeaway for Q1 2026:

  • Sellers: Demand is outstripping supply. The sales-to-list ratio hit 106.1% in January.

  • Buyers: Market velocity slowed by 85% YoY (37 days on market), offering a rare window for due diligence in a high-priced environment.

In a market this tight, data-driven decisions are the only way to win. Let’s discuss what this means for your 2026 real estate goals. 🤝
