Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).

San Mateo County’s August numbers show a tight but active market, with 1.6 months of supply and 1,240 active listings, even as inventory is down slightly from a year ago. Homes are moving faster than last year, as the median time on market has dropped to 15 days and closed sales are up nearly 8 percent year over year.

Pricing is edging higher, with the typical home value up about 2 percent from last year and the median list price also slightly higher. More than half of homes, about 52 percent, are selling above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio has pushed to nearly 105 percent, signaling strong buyer competition for available homes.

Compared with California as a whole, where months of supply is closer to 3.3, San Mateo County is clearly tilted toward sellers and operating with much tighter inventory. New listings have risen almost 9 percent year over year, yet pending sales have eased somewhat, showing how sensitive contract activity can be in a high-price, fast-moving environment. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these conditions effectively can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an agent who understands the local data and on-the-ground dynamics.



Learn more about what San Mateo County has to offer.

San Mateo County offers residents a vibrant, livable mix of coastal beauty, diverse communities, excellent schools, abundant outdoor recreation, and easy access to major employment and cultural amenities.

San Mateo County stretches along the Peninsula between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, offering quick access to major job centers, coastal escapes, and a wide range of neighborhoods. From commuter friendly cities like San Mateo and Redwood City to quieter communities such as Pacifica and Half Moon Bay, residents can choose urban convenience, suburban stability, or coastal relaxation.

Practical livability is a major draw. Caltrain and BART link cities like South San Francisco with San Francisco and San Jose, while SFO sits right on the county line for frequent travelers. Everyday errands are simple, with established shopping districts in downtown San Mateo and Redwood City, plus neighborhood centers in nearly every community.

Outdoor access is exceptional. Locals walk the Bay Trail near Coyote Point Recreation Area, explore the redwoods at Huddart Park, or surf and hike around Pacifica State Beach. Families appreciate strong schools such as San Mateo Union High School District campuses and extensive library programs through San Mateo County Libraries.

With so many micro markets, from hillside homes with canyon views to condos near Caltrain, pricing and competition can shift block by block. A local real estate agent who understands zoning, transit plans, school boundaries, and coastal regulations can simplify decisions and reduce stress. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with the right San Mateo County expert so each move is more confident and less complicated.

“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.”

“Working with Jason Hoffman was one of the best decisions we made. He helped us sell our condo and guided us through the purchase of our first home in Moorpark, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Jason was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He made what could have been a stressful process feel organized and manageable by keeping us informed every step of the way. We always knew what to expect and felt confident because he was looking out for our best interests. Jason's marketing of our condo was exceptional, and his negotiation skills helped us achieve a great result on both the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home. He was always available to answer our questions, offer honest advice, and make sure every detail was handled. What impressed us most was how much he genuinely cared about us, not just as clients, but as people. We never felt like just another transaction. His dedication, communication, and attention to”

“We worked with Payal to purchase our home in the Bay Area and our experience was fantastic. 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!”

“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.”

“Efficient and non-intrusive service. They recommended an agent, Craig Ackerman, who got us our dream home after only 3 weeks, 4 house-viewings, and one offer later. We'd gone through 3 ineffective agents over a 4 month period before this, so it was much appreciated!”

“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.”
