Hillsborough real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Hillsborough real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year-over-year, Hillsborough’s housing picture shows notable shifts, with typical home values down about 11.32% even as Orange County as a whole is up 6.65%. At the same time, buyers are taking much longer to commit than a year ago, as median days on market have surged 345.0% despite a 29.27% drop in overall inventory.
In February 2026, typical home value in Hillsborough was around $470,000, slightly below Orange County’s $479,944, and homes spent a median of 89 days on the market. Sellers still hold an edge with a seller’s market gauge of 36, as roughly 33% of recent sales closed above list price, even though about 10% of listings saw a price reduction.
Looking ahead to March 2026, typical home value is projected to edge up to about $480,000 while projected median list price is expected to be closer to $438,860. Inventory is also forecast to increase modestly from 29 to 31 homes, offering a bit more choice for buyers while keeping conditions relatively favorable for sellers, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these dynamics.
