The median sale price in Woodside is $4.62M — up 10% from $4.20M in October 2021. Over that stretch, the median peaked at $6.50M in September 2023 and bottomed at $2.55M in December 2023. That's right in line with 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 $23,761 today, up 65% from $14,421 in October 2021. Most of that increase comes from mortgage rates (3.1% then vs. 6.7% now), not prices — at October 2021 rates, today's median would run about $15,870/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.
