Here’s a more conversational, client-friendly version that reads like a local market expert sharing insights rather than a market report:

The 95125 Housing Market Has Been Anything but Boring

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the 95125 real estate market, you’ve probably noticed that it’s been a wild ride over the past several months.

From a tight inventory crunch at the end of 2025 to one of the fastest-moving spring markets we’ve seen in years, the market has continued to evolve while one thing has remained consistent: buyers still want to be here.

Fall 2025: Low Inventory Drives Competition

As we headed into the final months of 2025, inventory became increasingly scarce. Fewer homes were coming to market, but buyer demand remained strong.

In October, 34 homes sold, with an average sales price of just over $2.1 million. By November, the number of sales dipped slightly, but home values continued to climb.

December told the biggest story of all. Only 20 homes sold during the month, creating intense competition among buyers. Multiple-offer situations became common, and buyers were regularly paying above asking price to secure a home.

A Slow Start, Then a Sudden Shift

Like many years, the market started off a little slower in January. Buyers were cautious, inventory was limited, and homes took longer to sell.

But that slowdown didn’t last long.

By February, activity surged. Buyers jumped back into the market, sales more than doubled, and homes began selling in a matter of weeks rather than months.

Spring Arrives—and So Do the Buyers

March, April, and May brought a wave of activity throughout 95125.

Buyers competed aggressively, homes sold quickly, and sellers benefited from strong demand. March saw some of the most competitive bidding we’ve experienced this year, with many homes selling well above their list price.

April brought a significant jump in home values, pushing the average sales price to an impressive $2.35 million.

Then came May.

With 51 homes sold and an average market time of just 15 days, May became the busiest and fastest-moving month we’ve seen so far in 2026.

Even though prices settled slightly from April’s peak, buyer demand remained incredibly strong, with many homes still receiving multiple offers.

What Does This Mean Moving Forward?

For buyers, preparation is everything. The homes that are priced well and show beautifully continue to attract attention quickly. Having financing in place and being ready to act can make all the difference.

For sellers, the opportunity remains strong. While buyers are becoming more selective, there are still plenty of motivated people looking for the right home in 95125. Proper pricing, presentation, and marketing continue to be the keys to success.

My Take

The biggest takeaway from the last eight months is that the 95125 market isn’t slowing down—it’s evolving.

We’re seeing a healthier balance than the frenzied market of a few years ago, but demand remains remarkably strong. Buyers are still competing for desirable homes, and sellers who understand the market continue to achieve excellent results.

Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or simply wondering what your home might be worth, understanding the local market is the first step toward making a confident decision.

I’d be happy to help you navigate what’s next.
