Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Hammer show a market that has picked up notably in this rolling three-month view. Active listings are up more than 45% year over year, while homes sold have risen by a similar pace, and pending sales have more than doubled. New listings are especially strong, climbing over 240% from a year ago and helping replenish options for buyers. Compared with the broader San Jose market, Hammer has slightly more supply at 2.7 months versus 2.2 months citywide, yet it still sits firmly in seller’s market territory.
Pricing has shifted sharply higher even as list prices have trended down. The typical home value over the rolling period is up more than 150% year over year, while the median list price is down about 13%, suggesting sellers may be pricing more conservatively than recent sale outcomes. Despite that, homes are still selling for about 102% of list on average, and roughly 43% of recent sales closed above asking. That combination points to buyers competing most intensely for well-priced homes.
Speed has changed as well, with the median days on market now around three weeks. Compared with last year’s rolling period, homes are moving faster overall even though recent months show a modest slowdown from earlier this year. Supply has also expanded dramatically from a year ago, rising from under one month to roughly 2.7 months of inventory, which gives buyers a bit more breathing room without tipping leverage away from sellers. Both buyers and sellers can benefit from these shifting dynamics, and Agent Pronto can help them connect with a local Hammer expert who understands this market.

Payal is a great communicator and was always quick to respond to texts, phone calls, and emails for any questions we had. Although we were already familiar with the home purchase process, she was always available to answer any questions we had. She helped us view several homes until we found the perfect one for us and was always available when we needed her. She did a great job negotiating on our behalf during the entire purchase process and we always felt she had our back. Overall we really enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to all our friends, family, and neighbors! Thanks Payal!”

“We are so grateful to have had Amy Thomas as our realtor along with Alex Pallios our loan officer. Amy from the beginning was very friendly, patient, and compassionate. She worked extremely hard to get us that dream home that we have always wanted. She fought tooth and nail to counter our offers & she won!! We were so grateful for an awesome experience throughout this whole home experience process. This was a great experience and we will be sure to refer to our friends and family. They truly made the process go smooth and helped us move out in just a little over 30 days!”
“Phat is attentive beyond the call of duty. He was always transparent and clear in his guidance. Highly recommended!!”
“At our first meeting Gautam had an accurate understanding of my neighborhood and it's surroundings. After walking through the house and the yards he gave a clear assessment of our home's value and the reasons why. He also had an idea of what types of buyers would likely show interest, and how to market our home to them. He had an excellent advertising package in mind. One day after being on the market we received a full-price offer. It fell through, but in line were two more full-price offers. The second potential buyer became the buyer. There were three issues with the property that arose and he handled them all. That was especially helpful as we were already out-of-state. The house sold without further issues. Gotham was easy to work with, and his expertise gave me confidence that things would be well-handled. I recommend Gautam highly, and would recommend him to family and friends.”
“Mr. Holland was very goal oriented and practical. He allowed us to choose amongst three plans and provided some of the best crews to complete that plan. He wasn't a hands-off agent but actually got his hands dirty to help out. It shows he enjoys what he does and gives his best. Anyone who works with him would not be disappointed. Thrilled he took us on.”
“Matt was very professional and personable. He was attentive to all my questions and took care of the "little things" diligently. He was also a great resource for the technicalities of the moving process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy.”

He was very transparent from the beginning and tempered our expectations from beginning to end. We are very pleased he was able to get above listing price for the home and ironed out all the details in a timely manner. I will definitely refer The Opulence Group to all my friends and family moving forward.”
“We felt Paul Kaplan Group appeals to people who are interested in mid-century design, and would attract those people to our property. Stephanie was given high praise by some friends of ours who had recently bought and sold property with her. Stephanie was terrific, very proactive in keeping us informed every step of the way, always very responsive to any questions we had. We are extremely pleased with the results she got for us! I wish we could give her a higher rating than excellent, she really exceeded expectations in all the categories above.”
