See how prices, monthly costs, and mortgage rates have moved in Woodside.
Includes principal, interest, estimated CA property tax (~1.25%), and estimated insurance (~$2,200/yr). HOA fees not included.
The median sale price in Woodside is $5.35M — up 18% from $4.55M in September 2021. Over that stretch, the median peaked at $6.50M in September 2023 and bottomed at $2.55M in December 2023. That puts today's price about 11% above the area's 5-year average of $4.82M. Woodside averages only about 5 sales a month, so these swings partly reflect which specific homes happened to sell — treat the long-run direction as rough, not precise.
What buyers actually pay has moved more than the sticker price suggests: a typical monthly payment (20% down, principal & interest) is about $27,491 today, up 79% from $15,366 in September 2021. Most of that increase comes from mortgage rates (3.0% then vs. 6.7% now), not prices — at September 2021 rates, today's median would run about $18,059/mo.
Seasonally, the three months ending in June have been the busiest stretch for closings in Woodside over the past 5 years (about 18 sales in that window on average, vs. 12 for the stretch ending in February), while competition has run hottest in the stretch ending in May (35% of homes selling over asking on average). That's an average across just 5 observations per month, so treat it as a tendency, not a rule.
