Published October 2, 2026 in Market Update · Core Silicon Valley - $1M-$4M

Core Silicon Valley has more listings, but buyers are still showing up

Inventory is up 23% across Core Silicon Valley, and pending sales still rose 3.2%. More competition for sellers, more choices for buyers, but not a soft market.
