The luxury segment remained especially strong, with well-presented, turnkey homes continuing to command premium prices. Sellers who leaned into strategic pricing and high-impact presentation saw exceptional results, reinforcing that standout listings still drive the market forward.

What the Numbers Tell Us
For Sellers:
The market continues to reward preparation and precision. Well-marketed homes in prime Los Gatos neighborhoods are selling close to asking, and in some cases setting new benchmarks. Presentation, timing, and expertise remain key differentiators as buyers carefully evaluate the details before making a move. With mortgage rates now dipping toward the low-6% range following the recent Fed rate cut, many buyers are regaining confidence and re-engaging in their home search. Across California, limited inventory continues to keep desirable homes in demand, while the slightly cooler pace has brought a welcome sense of balance to the market.
For Buyers:
Slightly longer days on market give buyers the breathing room to evaluate options and negotiate with confidence. With homes taking a bit more time to sell, there’s less pressure to rush and more flexibility to find the right fit. The recent Fed rate cut has further strengthened this moment, easing borrowing costs and empowering well-prepared buyers to secure value in a market that’s stabilizing with renewed momentum. If rates continue their gradual decline into the high-5% range as forecasted, this combination of lower borrowing costs and steady inventory could create a rare sweet spot for buyers ready to act.
