Reading it right
- It’s what listings say, so every share is a floor. Garages and laundry in particular often go unmentioned.
- The mix matters: cities with more townhouses show more garages; cities with more large condo buildings show more pools, gyms and elevators.
- Pet rules are the HOA’s. “Pet-friendly” in a listing isn’t a guarantee; read the CC&Rs for limits on number, size and breed.
How we counted
Closed sales of condominiums and townhouses (MLS property types “condo” and “townhouse”) between October 28, 2024 and October 27, 2026 in 31 cities of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, reported to the MLS and read through the IDX feeds that power our home search, with repeat records from different feeds removed (address with unit number, plus sale date). A home counts when its listing description says so, so the true number is higher than shown. “vs. its city” compares each sale’s price per square foot with the median for the same type (condo or townhouse) in its own city (city and type groups with at least 20 sales). Past sales aren’t a forecast or the value of any one home.
