What the reports show
Active listings climbed through summer 2025, reaching a reported high of 513 in July. They moved lower into early 2026, rose again by June, then eased through the fall. The latest report counted 394 active homes.
Months of inventory stayed high the whole way: about 24 in September 2025, 23.7 in February 2026, and 25.8 in June 2026. Later reports showed about 17.1 in September and 19.1 in November. The latest reading improved from midyear but remains well above the commonly used 5–6 month balanced-market range.

How to read the trend
Active listings count homes available on a snapshot date. Months of inventory estimates how long that supply would take to sell at the recent pace. Months of inventory can rise while active listings fall if sales slow — that helps explain why November has fewer active homes than September but higher reported months of inventory (19.1 versus 17.1).
What it means for your home — or your search
Supply has eased from its 2025 peak, but buyers still have substantial choice across much of the Peninsula. The trend was not a straight decline: listings rebounded in spring and early summer 2026, and months of inventory rose from September to November. Price range and property type matter, so the peninsula-wide number can hide tighter or looser segments — your segment is the number that counts.
Selling? In a market with this much choice, your pricing and presentation have to earn a buyer’s attention from day one.
Buying? You have room to be selective — and in tighter segments, the good ones still move.
