Latest Update: January 2026 • Data via NTREIS
PRICES
Sunnyvale’s median home price ended 2025 at $742,500, up 1.0% year over year. That modest gain suggests pricing held steady even as the market adjusted to higher interest rates and more value-driven buyers. In Sunnyvale, price trends often reflect the mix of homes sold year to year, so stability matters as much as the direction of change.
SALES ACTIVITY
Closed sales rose to 102, up 24.4% compared to 2024. For a smaller market, that increase is notable and points to more transactions actually closing, not just more listings coming online. It also suggests that qualified buyers are still willing to move forward when pricing, location, and property quality align.
INVENTORY
Active listings increased to 44, up 22.2% year over year, giving buyers more choices than last year. Even with more listings, the market did not tip into oversupply—inventory remained relatively contained. This mix often creates a market where buyers can be selective, but sellers still see solid demand for well-positioned homes.
MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory came in at 3.5, down 2.8 from the prior year, indicating that supply was absorbed more efficiently in 2025. That decline suggests the market tightened compared to 2024, despite active listings rising. In practical terms, Sunnyvale leaned more seller-friendly by year-end, but negotiation is still normal—especially in higher price points where buyers have more leverage.
Looking ahead to 2026, Sunnyvale is likely to remain relatively stable, but the balance between buyers and sellers will depend heavily on how much new inventory comes to market. With months of inventory ending 2025 lower than the prior year, the market has shown it can absorb listings efficiently when demand is present. Buyers should still expect negotiation to be part of the process, especially at higher price points where financing costs and property expectations are more sensitive, but leverage will vary by condition and pricing strategy. Sellers who price realistically and present well should remain competitive, while homes that are dated or positioned above recent comparable sales may sit longer and require adjustments. If mortgage rates ease later in the year, Sunnyvale could see a stronger spring and summer season, with faster absorption and fewer concessions on the best-positioned listings.
