Before you buy
- Read the HOA documents: dues, the budget, the reserve study, the insurance and any special assessments; the HOA often covers the roof and exterior, but not always.
- Ask what you own. Some townhomes are sold as condos (you own the interior, the HOA owns the land); others include the lot. It changes insurance and what you can change.
- Check the garage and parking: side-by-side or tandem, and the guest-parking rules.
How we counted
Closed sales of townhouses (MLS property type “townhouse”) with a Santa Clara address between October 28, 2024 and October 27, 2026, reported to the MLS and read through the IDX feeds that power our home search, with repeat records from different feeds removed (normalized address, unit number and sale date). Features are counted when the listing description mentions them, so there are more than these shares show. Past sales aren’t a forecast or the value of any one home.
