It is a fairly strong seller’s market in the Cambrian Park area of San Jose.  Sales are up, inventory is down, and the list price to sales price ratio is at almost 102%.  Days on market are down for houses (which make up most of the market).  Some indicators are still negative but most are improving.

Here are the numbers from my online Silicon Valley Real Estate Report for single family homes – houses & duet homes (click on the link for the whole report):

And for the condo and townhouse market in Cambrian Park, things are looking up quite dramatically, with prices even higher than a year ago:

Days on market are still a bit slow but other indicators are quite strong.

Generally, it appears that the bottom of the market is well behind us in Cambrian Park.

Now let’s look at pricing by price quartile and zip code, using stats from Altos Research (by permission) . NB these are list prices, not sold prices (numbers from RE Report, above, use sold data).
