2023 Almaden Valley Market Overview

The Almaden Valley single family home market ended 2023 on a quiet note in the depths of the holiday slow-down we see every year. The number of homes for sale was dramatically down from the previous month; 8 in December compared to 13 in November, a number that definitely favors sellers. The average price per square foot nudge upwards a bit, from $910 to $920, reinforcing the status as a seller’s market.

In looking over the performance of the real estate market in 2023, the big takeaway is that we did not see the rather dramatic swings of 2022. Instead, 2022 saw slightly more sales – 281 versus 255 in 2023 – but overall, the market has remained stable.
