Median Prices Hold Steady, But SIP Showing Its Impact

Despite the shelter-in-place (SIP) order in mid-March, median prices held up in April, even gaining compared to last April. Premiums (i.e., the amount paid above/below the list price) also closely mirrored last year, in San Mateo County at 104% and Santa Clara County at 103% on average. However, the SIP showed its effects dramatically in closed sales, which were off by up to 50% from 2019, with San Mateo County down (50%) and Santa Clara County at (36%).  Moreover, new listings were off, ranging from (39%) in San Mateo County and (46%) in Santa Clara County. This will impact total inventory in what are typically the busiest months of the year.
