2026 Sunnyvale Housing Market Forecast

Given Sunnyvale's relatively low monthly sales volume, expect continued swings in the percentage figures from month to month even without a major shift in underlying demand. If inventory continues tightening, expect the market to lean further toward sellers over the coming months. If mortgage rates ease, watch for sales activity to pick back up from its currently thin pace. Both buyers and sellers here are best served by a conversation grounded in specific comparable homes rather than the month-over-month statistics alone.
