Willow Glen's Spring Market: What Buyers Need to Know

Inventory tightened for the third consecutive month. Here's what that means for buyers, sellers, and everyone watching from the sidelines.

Willow Glen inventory dropped to 28 active listings this week — down from 41 at the same time last year. For buyers, that means competition. For sellers, it means leverage.

The 95125 zip code saw median days-on-market fall to just 9 days, with 73% of homes closing above list price. Bidding wars that were once confined to the sub-$1M range are now common up to $1.4M.

What's Driving Demand

Three factors are compressing inventory: interest rates stabilizing in the mid-6% range, a tech-sector hiring rebound concentrated in South Bay, and the perennial lifestyle appeal of Willow Glen's walkable core. The neighborhood's café row on Lincoln Ave drew record foot traffic this spring.

Sellers who listed in April and May captured peak demand — but June is showing no signs of cooling. If you're considering listing before the summer slowdown, the window is still open.

1203 Shasta Ave, priced at $898K, received 7 offers in its first weekend and closed at $967K — $69K over list. The sellers had used our AI valuation tool two weeks before listing, which gave them confidence to price at the low end of the range and let competition drive the final number.
