Information and statistics on the latest trends in the San Benito County real estate market. *
August 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
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 (Aug 2026).
Inventory in San Benito County tightened in August, with active listings down nearly 6 percent from July and down about 9 percent from last year, even as new listings are up almost 14 percent year over year. At the same time, homes sold rose nearly 8 percent annually, while pending sales dipped slightly compared with last year, signaling some recent cooling in contract activity.
Prices are pushing higher in response to this mixed but overall leaner supply picture, with the typical home value up about 11 percent year over year and the median list price rising more than 5 percent. Compared with the statewide median sale price in California, San Benito County’s typical home value now sits higher, reflecting relatively strong pricing power for local sellers.
Conditions have shifted toward a more balanced pace, as months of supply stands at about 3.1 locally versus 3.3 statewide, and the share of homes selling above list has eased from earlier in the year. Even with the median days on market rising sharply month over month to 44 days, the average sale-to-list ratio has edged slightly above last year, hovering just under 100 percent. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these changing dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands this market.
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.

“Working with Angelina to purchase my very first home was an absolute dream! Going into the home buying process for the first time, I was nervous and unsure of what to expect, but Angelina made the entire journey seamless, transparent, and exciting. From day one, she took the time to truly understand what I was looking for, patient with all my questions, and guided me through every single step. From initial viewings all the way to closing day. Her knowledge of the local market, sharp eye for detail during walkthroughs, and strong negotiation skills made all the difference. I always felt completely supported and confident that my best interests were the top priority. Thanks to Angelina, what could have been a stressful process felt manageable and rewarding. I couldn't be happier with my new home! If you are a first-time buyer (or looking to buy or sell at all), I cannot recommend Angelina highly enough.”

“Our estate home in Scripps Ranch, San Diego was on the market with another realtor from March through June this year We really liked that realtor, but the home did not sell External economic conditions made it very difficult to sell homes in Scripps Ranch priced in the 1.8 to $2,000,000 category We had known Chad since before our home went on the market, but did not choose him as the listing agent initially After our contract with our agent expired, we had Chad list our home, and he sold it in 10 days! His professionalism, sensitivity to our needs, and market understanding are absolutely second to none Chad connected us with his corporate EXP marketing network and conducted all showings and communication with prospective buyers and agents personally In addition to being a licensed real estate agent, Chad is a certified financial planner with an MBA in business We're happy to recommend Chad without reservation and are confident he will perform exceptionally for you and he has for us”

He picked up the phone that morning and said how can I help you, that same day we meet at his office and began the process of selling my Home. Every time I called Steven he picked up the phone and answered all my questions. He helped me through the whole process and was always their and kept me informed of everything that was going on. He is a Great Real Estate Agent, and now I can call him my Agent.”
“Our agent, Jocelyn, was great. She worked with us very closely and was able to quickly answer any questions we had and to help resolve any issues that came up.

Thanks again!”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Lolli! Our purchase was an unusually complicated transaction with multiple unexpected hurdles, and we honestly don’t know if we would have made it to the finish line without her. From the complicated title issues to unpredicted appraisal and lending delays, extensions, and a seller who was pushing to terminate the deal, she remained calm, proactive, and incredibly persistent throughout the entire process. She was always one step ahead, communicated clearly, and never made us feel like we were navigating the situation alone. What stood out most was how hard she fought for us. She didn’t just facilitate the transaction—she genuinely advocated for our family and our best interests every step of the way. Even when things became stressful and uncertain, she kept working toward solutions and never gave up. If you are looking for a realtor who will truly go to bat for you, Lolli is your agent!”

“I can’t say enough great things about working with Nancy and her team. Nancy recently handled the sale of my childhood home in Newport Beach. This was a Probate sale and was very emotional for me. Nancy was so supportive and kind. She was always available to answer my questions and provide me with advice. She generated multiple offers on my home immediately and we closed escrow in less than a month. I would highly recommend Nancy Andreason. I plan on using her services in the new future to sell another home in Corona del Mar. Thank you so much Nancy!”

Her deep knowledge of the market and the home-buying process gave us total confidence at every step.
