How listings describe them
The phrases that put these sales in this style, most common first: “new construction” (234), “farmhouse” (207), “newly built” (121), “modern farmhouse” (72), “newly constructed” (66) and “brand-new home” (32). Listings name styles loosely, and many modern farmhouse and new-construction houses never say so, so treat these counts as the ones that called themselves modern farmhouse and new-construction.
San Francisco, for comparison: 106 modern farmhouse and new-construction houses sold in the same two years, median $2.13M ($1,145 per sq ft), 73% sold over asking.
How we counted
Closed sales of houses (MLS property type “single family home”) 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 (normalized address plus sale date). A sale counts as modern farmhouse and new-construction when its listing description uses that style’s phrases on our Modern farmhouse & new construction page; one sale can count for two styles. Price per square foot uses sales with 400 sq ft or more; “vs. its city” uses cities with at least 30 such sales. Past sales aren’t a forecast or the value of any one home.
