What you can buy
Houses account for 825 listings and apartments or condos for 359; there is one land listing. By bedrooms, three-bedroom homes (364) and two-bedroom homes (328) lead, followed by four-bedroom (308) and five-plus (121). Only 61 one-bedroom units and 3 studios appear.
That pattern reflects the local land shortage: most single-family lots are small, so even modest houses cost seven figures, and condos and townhouses are the entry point. See the national pages for houses and apartments and condos. Anyone with a tighter budget should check lower-priced US markets, because San Jose will rarely deliver a bargain.

Neighbourhoods and commuting
San Jose is the largest city in the Bay Area by population and the centre of Santa Clara County. Downtown has high-rise condos near the SAP Center, San Pedro Square and the Diridon transit hub. Willow Glen is known for a walkable main street and older bungalows, Almaden Valley and Evergreen are suburban and school-driven, and Santana Row and Rose Garden are established mid-city districts.
Caltrain, VTA light rail and the BART extension into the south bay are improving rail access, but most households still drive. Employers such as large chip, software and hardware companies keep demand from engineers strong, and the Mineta San Jose airport handles domestic flights. Earthquake risk is real: ask about retrofit work on older homes and consider specialist insurance.
Buying tips for international buyers
California allows foreign buyers, but lenders and tax law add steps:
- Funding. Many overseas buyers use cash or foreign-national loans with 30-40% down. Run your numbers with the mortgage calculator and review our US financing guide.
- Property tax. Under Proposition 13 the base rate is around 1% of the purchase price plus local assessments, and the assessed value resets on sale. Budget for roughly 1.1-1.3% a year, then confirm the parcel's actual bill.
- Disclosures. California sellers must provide detailed disclosures covering natural hazards, and a home inspection plus pest report is customary.
- HOA fees. Condos and townhouses often carry monthly fees that materially change affordability.
- Exit tax. Foreign sellers may be subject to FIRPTA and California withholding at closing.
See the full process in the US buying guide, and use the valuation tool to sanity-check an asking price.
Related markets
Within our US coverage, the closest price comparison on the West Coast is San Diego. On the other coast, New York and Brooklyn have similarly high price-per-metre figures. Buyers who value space over a tech-hub address may prefer Las Vegas or Henderson. Everything is indexed on the United States country page.
A San Jose purchase is a bet on Silicon Valley wages: expect to pay seven figures for an ordinary family house and to compete on speed and terms.

Buying property in San Jose: FAQ
How much does a house in San Jose cost?
The median asking price in current listings is €1,072,769. The middle half of listings runs from €715,179 to €1,598,427. Condos and townhouses start lower, while detached homes in sought-after school areas sit at the top of the range.
Can a non-US citizen buy property in San Jose?
Yes. California places no citizenship or residency condition on buying a home. You will need funds, a US bank or escrow arrangement, and an understanding of tax withholding on a future sale.
Is San Jose cheaper than San Francisco?
Usually it is somewhat cheaper per square metre, but the gap has narrowed. Compare like for like: condo against condo and similar commute times to your workplace.
What are annual costs of owning in San Jose?
Plan for property tax of about 1.1-1.3% of purchase price, insurance (which has risen in California), maintenance, and HOA dues for condos. Renters of the property may also face local rent-control rules.
Are there earthquake or wildfire concerns?
The Bay Area sits on active faults, so seismic retrofits and earthquake insurance deserve attention. Hillside properties on the city's edges can be exposed to wildfire, and insurers may restrict cover there.
