Los Altos in one paragraph

1204 single-family homes sold in Los Altos from October 15, 2025 to October 15, 2026, at a median of $4.88M. The typical one is a 2,438 sq ft house from 1960 on an 11,000 sq ft lot, at $1,990 a square foot.

Against the price sellers first asked — not the price they had been reduced to — the median sale finished +5.1%, and 75% of them closed at or above that first asking price. Both figures come from the 269 sales carrying an original asking price, of 279 mapped.

“Too few” means under 3 sales in the period — counted, but not given a median, because one house is not a market. Where a “vs first ask” figure rests on fewer sales than the row’s total, the count it uses is shown beside it: sales with no original asking price in the export cannot be compared and are left out of that column only. "On market" is a count of what is listed or in escrow right now across all brokerages; no listing is displayed here.

In Los Altos, the first two weeks are the sale

Every sale grouped by how long it took, against the price it first asked. Not against a reduced price — against the number it launched at.

Homes here that sold in the first week finished +9.1% against their opening price. The ones still on the market after sixty days finished −8.2%. That gap is not explained by price — the slow sellers are not the cheap ones. Whatever is going to happen, happens early.

Every sale: what it fetched, and how it did

One dot per home. Across is the result against the price it first asked. Up is what it actually sold for. Red beat its asking price; charcoal did not.

The dashed lines are the two medians — $4.88M and +5.1%. A dot to the right of the upright line beat the price it opened at; a dot above the flat one sold for more than the typical home here.

What the corners tell you is whether the top of Los Altos behaves like the rest of it.

What recent sales suggest about price bands

These figures compare each home’s sale price with the price it first asked. They show how homes in different price bands performed during this period; they do not predict what any particular home will sell for.

The results reflect many factors at once, including preparation, presentation, pricing, competition, timing, and negotiation. Treat the table as context for a pricing conversation, not as a formula.

How results varied by price range

Buyers consider different alternatives at different price points. This breakdown helps us focus on the part of the market most relevant to your home.

In this sample the Over $7M band came out weakest against first asking (+0.0% from 27 sales ) and $4.5M – $7M strongest (+5.9% from 112 sales ). Most of the activity sat in $3M – $4.5M, with 116 sales. This is what these homes did, not a rule about what yours will do.

First askedSalesAgainst first askReached it
Under $3M 14 · Small sample +2.4% 64%
$3M – $4.5M 116 +5.6% 78%
$4.5M – $7M 112 +5.9% 77%
Over $7M 27 +0.0% 59%

Pricing strategy becomes especially important in the higher price bands, where the sample is smaller and buyer demand can be more selective. A property-specific analysis is essential.

How recent sales compared with original asking prices

This comparison shows the median sale price as a percentage of the original asking price for each neighborhood during the stated period. It describes how the homes in the sample performed; it does not measure neighborhood quality or predict the result for one property. Small samples can produce large-looking percentages, so read the sale count beside each figure. City-wide: +5.1%.

  • South of El Monte +6.8% 118
  • North Los Altos +5.4% 104
  • Highlands +4.5% 32
  • Country Club −1.0% 25

Recent median sale prices by neighborhood

Median prices and price-per-square-foot figures help show the range of homes that sold in each area. They are not a valuation for one property. Differences in lot size, architecture, condition, location, and sale mix can materially affect the comparison.

Price per square foot is a comparison tool, not a substitute for a property-specific valuation.

  • North Los Altos $5.11M $2,148/sf
  • South of El Monte $4.96M $1,976/sf
  • Highlands $4.55M $1,672/sf
  • Country Club $4.30M $1,722/sf

What the recent sample shows by home configuration

Stories, square footage, lot size, age, and neighborhood are connected variables. This comparison describes the homes in the sample; it does not isolate the effect of being one or two stories.

In this sample, two story homes were larger and had higher median sale prices. Measured against first asking prices, single story homes came out ahead of the other group. That may reflect price band, location, condition, and the mix of homes — not stories alone.

If this is your street

The map says what sold. It doesn’t say what yours would.

Los Altos is a town of neighbourhoods that look alike on a map and do not behave alike in a sale. Maggie will tell you which of the things you could do to the house is worth doing here, and which is not.

Recent work

Local knowledge, put to work

I use market research to guide real decisions: where to invest in preparation, how to present a home’s strengths, and how to position it among the choices buyers have.

The second of these is elsewhere on the Peninsula rather than in Los Altos, and says so.

Local market insight from Maggie Ma · HOUSE EXPERT

Let’s make a plan for your Los Altos home.

Buyers weigh the whole property: location, layout, condition, outdoor space, and price. Understanding the alternatives helps us decide where preparation and presentation can make the most meaningful difference.

The most useful next step is a closer look at your property. I’ll help you compare relevant sales and current competition, identify worthwhile improvements, and decide how to bring your home to market.

I personally shape the design, preparation, and staging, coordinate the work, and guide pricing, marketing, and negotiation. You’ll have a clear plan and someone keeping the details moving—without taking on a second job as a project manager.
