FOR THE WEEK OF March 3rd to 9th, 2025

Greetings,
 
Spring is officially here, and the Bay Area real estate market is gaining momentum! Strong buyer demand continues to drive price appreciation, with limited housing inventory keeping competition high. In February, median home prices in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties surged more than 10% compared to February 2024—a sign that we may see new records this spring and summer.
 
Weekly Market Snapshot (March 3rd – 9th):
The past week saw steady activity, with homes quickly moving from “Available” to “Sold” and “Pending.” Well-priced homes are attracting strong interest, and buyers are stepping up to secure properties. We’ve compiled a detailed list of recent closings and contract activity to keep you informed about the latest market movements.
