What This Means for You
At $3.55M, Palo Alto sits +4.2% above this time last year. With homes selling at 106.5% of list in about 12 days, sellers hold a clear edge — well-priced listings are still drawing competing offers. The 34 sales last month against 41 active listings keep supply tight.
The headline median hides real variation block to block — the neighborhood table above shows spreads of hundreds of dollars per square foot inside Palo Alto alone. If you’re weighing a move, anchor on price-per-square-foot for your specific area and the sale-to-list trend rather than the citywide average.
