Discover San Jose Real Estate
The real estate market of San Jose is composed of a number of property types, at a wide range of price points. There are more affordably-priced condos for sale, located near the city center, but you’ll also find listings for grand, luxury homes with exclusive upgrades.
Primarily single-family homes, properties in San Jose (and by extension, many of the surrounding cities) are typically priced higher than average. There is, however, a lot of choice for potential buyers. In this city, older Bungalows are a prevalent home style, many of which being built in the late-40s and 50s. These homes are in high-demand, especially if they have been recently renovated.
There are also a number of new-construction homes that take on a more modern architectural style—in regards to both interior and exterior of the property. While the older Bungalows take on a decidedly historical feeling, new homes tend to lean towards Mediterranean or Spanish style architecture, especially the stucco exteriors.
Within the city, there are also a number of exclusive, modern high-rises for sale. Unsurprisingly, they are found in the downtown district. Condo units are generally very contemporary in their design, but the smaller condos in San Jose are built in more traditional styles.
