How listings describe them
The phrases that put these sales in this style, most common first: “victorian” (69), “queen anne” (7), “edwardian” (2), “italianate” (2) and “eastlake” (1). Listings name styles loosely, and many Victorian and Edwardian houses never say so, so treat these counts as the ones that called themselves Victorian and Edwardian.
San Francisco, for comparison: 585 Victorian and Edwardian houses sold in the same two years, median $2.25M ($1,168 per sq ft), 78% 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 Victorian and Edwardian when its listing description uses that style’s phrases on our Victorian & Edwardian 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.
