Data for ZIP 94302 specifically is limited. Only 1 sale in the most recent month is not enough to read neighborhood-level conditions, and one unusual transaction can dominate the reported numbers. Zooming out to the broader Palo Alto market: palo Alto is still a highly competitive market, but conditions are starting to ease. Buyers should move quickly on well-priced homes and expect to offer above asking, though the most intense bidding wars may be tapering.
ZIP 94302's one recent sale was at a median of $1.70M. That is roughly 52% below Palo Alto's city-wide median of $3.54M. With only a single data point, it is hard to draw firm neighborhood-level conclusions. This could reflect a specific property or an unusual transaction rather than a broader trend. For context, the Bay Area median is $1.88M.
Using the one recent sale as a rough anchor, your estimated total monthly cost with 20% down at 6.53% would be approximately $10,577:
The actual number for any specific property depends on sale price, HOA if applicable, and lender.
