The Mountain View real estate market continued to stay hot in July for single family homes. The condo and townhome market is warm – much better than most of the valley.

Mountain View CA real estate market trends at a glance
First let’s have a look at the Real Estate Report for residential sales data.
One disclaimer: the RE Report uses only sales data from listings generated from within MLS Listings. Today, some listings are input from out of this local MLS and via a data feed from Bay East Association of Realtors or others. The feed that the RE Report uses does not include those, so it may be 10-15% of the sales data missing. That said, the trends are the same and the data is usually very close.
The data below relates to SOLD prices. Further down, you’ll find info from Altos Research, which uses LIST prices. You’ll note a bit of a difference in the “days on market” between the two.
The market in Mountain View in August was active, with super short days on market (just 9!) and a high sale to list price ratio. The number of closed sales dropped, but pending sales doubled from the month before, so this looks more like a timing issue than a lack of buyer interest. The average sale price fell both monthly and annually.
Clair and I got some buyers into contract near the end of August on a highly remodeled house in MV that received several offers and will close far higher than list price later this month.
The table below is a great summary of Mountain View CA real estate market trends:

We’ll start with the RE Report data again.
The market for townhouses and condos in Mountain View in August appeared to be a strong market for selling, but for buyers, a good price – so something for everyone. The condo market has been taking a beating pretty much all over the country, but particularly here where insurance issues are huge. As HOA dues go up, home prices go down.
| Trends At a Glance | Aug 2026 | Previous Month | Year-over-Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median Price | $930,000 (-35.9%) | $1,450,000 | $1,649,000 (-43.6%) |
| Average Price | $1,078,600 (-19.5%) | $1,340,370 | $1,511,610 (-28.6%) |
| No. of Sales | 19 (+11.8%) | 17 | 23 (-17.4%) |
| Pending | 23 (+43.8%) | 16 | 18 (+27.8%) |
| Active | 40 (-21.6%) | 51 | 35 (+14.3%) |
| Sale vs. List Price | 101.2% (-2.0%) | 103.3% | 102.9% (-1.6%) |
