Should I buy now or wait for prices to drop?
The five year table on this page shows the recorded trend rather than a forecast. Comparing January through August 2021 with the same months of 2026, the Sunnyvale median sale price has risen an average of 2.4% per year and the average sale price has risen 3.5% per year, with the year to date median lower than the year before in 2024 and 2026. Waiting pays when the financing cost you avoid and the rent you pay in the meantime outweigh the change in price. A buyer brief models this for your own numbers before you commit to a strategy.

I built this entire data platform because I believe buyers and sellers deserve transparent, real time market intelligence, not guesswork. Every figure on every city page comes from the same MLS feed I use to advise my clients. The difference between a good deal and a great deal is knowing what the data says before you sit down at the table.
