Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for San Benito County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
San Benito County is seeing inventory hold relatively steady, with 192 active listings in September, down only slightly from a year ago but edging up month over month. Contract activity has cooled, as homes sold fell about 11% year over year and pending sales dropped roughly 7%, pointing to slower deal flow.
Prices are adjusting to this softer demand, with the typical home value down about 3% from last year and more than 12% from August. At the same time, sellers are still aiming high, as the median list price is slightly above last year and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 99%, suggesting modest negotiation room rather than steep discounts.
Conditions have shifted toward balance, with months of supply rising to 4.4, up sharply from both the prior month and last year and notably above the state’s 3.6 months. Even so, about 30% of homes are still selling above list price and roughly 23% go off the market within two weeks, so desirable listings can move quickly. Buyers navigating these mixed signals and sellers trying to price accurately in this neutral market can both benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a skilled local agent.
Learn more about what San Benito County has to offer.
San Benito County offers residents a welcoming small-town lifestyle, abundant outdoor recreation in Pinnacles National Park, and a proud agricultural heritage that binds community, work, and stewardship.
San Benito County combines small city convenience with wide open rural landscapes, about an hour from Silicon Valley and the Monterey Bay coast. Centered on Hollister, the county offers a practical balance of commuter access, local jobs, and room to grow.
Daily life here revolves around easy drives to shops, schools, and services. Hollister’s historic downtown features local dining and events near the City of Hollister Recreation division. Families appreciate community-focused schools such as San Benito High School, along with libraries and parks that support year-round activities. In San Juan Bautista, the historic Old Mission San Juan Bautista and walkable streets add cultural depth and weekend appeal.
Outdoor access is a major draw. Residents head to Pinnacles National Park for hiking and rock formations, and to San Benito County Parks for picnics, sports fields, and camping. Local agriculture shapes both the scenery and the food scene, with farm stands and wineries dotting the countryside.
Whether you are weighing a move from Santa Clara County or already living in Hollister, Tres Pinos, or Aromas, understanding specific neighborhoods, commute routes, and school options is key. A knowledgeable local agent can interpret pricing trends, guide you through inspections on older countryside homes, and time your sale or purchase to match real demand. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with San Benito County experts who help streamline decisions and reduce stress at every step.

“I met Alicia at an open house, and she was friendly and approachable from the start. She took the time to show me around, answer my questions, and offer helpful suggestions on what to look for in a home. I appreciated her insight and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I’d definitely recommend reaching out to her!”
“I worked with Megan twice: first when I bought my home, and again six years later when I sold it. Both times she was outstanding. When I was buying, Megan asked a lot of thoughtful questions to understand what I actually needed and wanted, and she came with me to every showing. She paid attention to how I felt about each house we saw and based her recommendations on my reactions, which helped us zero in on the right place. She also suggested areas I hadn’t considered and was incredibly informative about the different builders and neighborhoods, which helped me feel confident in my decision. When a relocation meant I had to sell, I wasn’t going to be in the area to handle the details. Megan took care of everything for me, from start to finish. She arranged the inspection, the stager, and the cleaners, so I didn’t have to coordinate any of it from a distance. When an incident the day before closing required a repair, she handled that too. My house sold in just 6 days, and we received a little more than the asking price. I can’t recommend Megan highly enough. If you want a realtor who is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly looks out for you, she’s the one to call.”
“Jessie did very good job at showing us the house around San Francisco and San Mateo County. She gave us very professional and honest advice on the home we were looking for. She went through the inspection, pointed out what we need to consider, and helped us draft a strong offer to secure our current home. Thanks to her, we have our first lovely home. Even after securing our home, Jessie went the extra mile to ensure we would be able to comfortably settle in. We would highly recommend Jessie to any homebuyers who need help in Bay Area.”
“We had a great experience working with Tammie! She has helped us buy and sell homes over the years, and we truly appreciate her support. She is knowledgeable, patient, honest, and always available to answer our questions. She genuinely cares about her clients and makes the entire process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Tammie!”
“Max was instrumental in selling our home because of his knowledge and experience of real estate. He was very informative and available to answer all our questions. He kept us up to date with every potential client/buyer walk through. He paid very good attention in details to help sell the house and with the sellers contract. We are very pleased with the outcome.”
“When I decided too sell my home I explored the idea of listing it myself since homes in my neighborhood tend to sell easily and fast. After meeting with 3 different realty groups I decided to go with Samples Realty Group not wanting to deal with everything involved in selling it myself. I made the right choice. Michelle and David were very professional and helpful from signing the listing agreement to passing on the keys to the buyer. I was already in process of driving to my new home across the country when the listing started. They were very helpful in dealing with any issues that came up and helped keep the place in top showing condition. We decided that staging the home was the best thing to do and it proved to be the case. Their stager was excellent and it really brightened the home and showed off it's possibilities. In the end, I sold in a week and at a very attractive price. I highly recommend you consider Michelle and David.”
“Another amazing experience with Kimberley Ingram. She was our agent when we bought our home initially six years ago, and she was so incredibly helpful to us then. She knew the ins and outs of dealing with VA loans and her expertise and knowledge was a godsend to us. When we went to sell our home, there was only one person we wanted to call, and it was Kimberley. She shepherded us through the selling process with ease, and spent extra time and energy helping the buyers/buyer's agent along the process as well. I highly recommend Kimberley to anyone buying or selling. You will not regret working with her. She is a true professional who knows the real estate business and she made both our buying process and our selling process a breeze.”
“Mike and Travis did an incredible job with every aspect of selling my home. Their expertise, communication, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence made the process smooth and successful from beginning to end. I felt comfortable and confident that I was in great hands the minute I met them. Speaking of hands, they are not afraid to get their hand dirty. I highly recommend Mike and Travis Real Estate Group to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Five stars all the way! *****”
“We had a fantastic experience working with Rachel Graham on our home purchase. The entire process was incredibly smooth, efficient, and stress-free from start to finish. She was responsive (to my many many questions), knowledgeable, and stayed on top of every detail to help us successfully close in just 8 days! We really appreciated the clear communication and guidance throughout the process. Everything moved quickly without ever feeling chaotic or rushed. We would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a realtor who is professional and dependable.”
“Alfredo did an outstanding job assisting me with the sale of my townhouse. He was very quick in helping get the property ready for showings and helped keep the entire process stress free thanks to his knowledge and responsiveness throughout. I definitely will not hesitate to use Alfredo again or to recommend him to my family and friends.”
“Beyond satisfied, thankful, and happy to have chosen the Mark & Wyss Group as our Bay Area realtors for the purchase of our new single-family home. From Day 1, Mark and Julie listened carefully to our goals and helped us understand what it really means to buy a home in the Bay Area. As first-time home buyers, there was a lot we didn’t know going into the process, especially in a market as competitive and unique as the Bay Area. They walked us through every aspect of the process, gave us clear and practical advice, and helped us develop the right strategy to make sure we were in the strongest position to get the house we wanted. Throughout the entire process, they were extremely competent, responsive, and effective. We always felt that they were a step ahead, knew exactly what needed to happen, and were focused on getting us the best possible outcome, not just getting a deal done. Their experience and judgment gave us a lot of confidence, especially when it mattered most. We have a great deal of respect for Mark and Julie and the way they work. We’re very happy with the outcome and would absolutely recommend the Mark & Wyss Group to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bay Area.”
“STEPHEN HELPED ME GET MY DREAM HOME! Stephen has deep knowledge of his territory and assisted me in my search for a few months. When my perfect home came on the market, he helped close the deal with a great offer strategy. His experience, knowledge, negotiation skills and relationships in the real estate Industry pushed my offer over the top. After my offer was accepted, Stephen had amazing follow through and ensured the close went smoothly. Stephen is has high integrity, honesty and values. I highly recommend Stephen to anybody!”

Working with Greg to buy our home was an absolute pleasure for my wife and me, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! ?From our very first conversation, Greg brought an incredible level of energy, enthusiasm, and genuine eagerness to work for us.

“can't recommend Omid enough. He helped us get our first house. This time we were a little more picky with the zipcodes, schools, size of the backyard etc. Right from the get go, Omid helped set up a customized mis alert which was very helpful to track new and sometimes even off market listings. I dont think he ever sleeps because whenever we messaged him we got a response within a minute. Also I have never heard "no" for any of our requests. He either finds an alternative or makes sure he is able to take care of it. He is also very resourceful in finding recommendations for contractors, handyman, inspections, insurance etc.”
“We cannot recommend Harpreet highly enough! As first-time homebuyers, we went into this process with a lot of excitement but also plenty of questions and uncertainty. From day one, Harpreet made us feel completely at ease. We knew immediately that we were in amazing hands. Throughout the entire journey, Harpreet was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home. No question was ever too small, and no detail was ever overlooked. She consistently went above and beyond to guide us through every step, explain every decision, and advocate for our best interests. What truly stood out was the level of care and dedication she brought to the process. At every stage, we felt informed, supported, and protected. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but Harpreet made it feel seamless and exciting. Her professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail gave us confidence from start to finish. Thanks to Harpreet, we not only found a home we love, but we also had an experience that exceeded every expectation. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has done for us and feel fortunate to have met someone who cares so deeply about her clients. If you’re looking for a realtor who will treat your home search as if it were her own, Harpreet is the one. Thank you for making our dream a reality!”
“My family and I are very grateful to have met Brian Sarkis. He is the best of the best when it comes to realty. If there was a way to give him more than 5 stars, we would, because he deserves it. He is hardworking, professional, respectful, very knowledgeable about the housing market, highly responsive, a brilliant negotiator and great at coming up with strategic realty plans. Any questions we had he always had an answer. When dealing with the prepping of my home before putting it on the market he helped with finding good contractors, plumbers, painters, carpet installers, LVP installers & handymen to give the home some much-needed upgrades. From the start to the end of our home-selling journey, he truly cared about not just the home, but my family and I too, especially in helping us achieve our goal of selling our old home and purchasing our dream home. He made sure that the transition between moving out of our previous home to moving in to our new home was as smooth as possible. When purchasing our new home, he listened to what my family and I wanted and helped us locate our dream home. You can tell that he genuinely loves his job, which is why he is so good at it. We will highly recommend him to all our family, friends and neighbors. Thank you, Brian, for all your hard work! You did an amazing job!”
“Dylan is incredible! He is truly excellent at what he does. We still can’t believe we were able to buy our first home in our dream location, and it’s all thanks to him. He is so patient with his clients, and because he’s a handyman himself, his knowledge of home repairs was invaluable during our tours. He helped us feel confident in every decision we made. Rest assured, he is the best!”
“Anton is the best realtor ever. He guided us on the entire process of purchasing our real estate property. He went to the city planning dept. numerous times to meet and inquire about zoning-building-permit requirements. He is very attentive, quick to respond. He made us feel we are always his priority and always looked out for our best interest. He was very understanding and caring when we changed our mind multiple times. We feel so blessed to have him as our realtor, and has gained a friend-brother. We highly recommend Anton and his team. Thank you to my brother, Gustav, for referring him to us. Now, he is helping us to sell our house in Fremont. He is taking of everything, and is very organized.”
“We know Michael for years. Helping people with all kind of budget, desire, passion & vision for life is his absolute passion. He is called to find people their dream home. He makes sure he is there for every single step of the way with his clients. He cares about his clients so much and seeing them happy is their final goal.
