Size of Homes and Appreciation Rates

Below is a chart illustrating house sales in Santa Clara County, categorized by the era of construction. A similar trend is observed across various counties in the Bay Area.

Homes constructed between 1940 and 1979 make up a significant portion of the county’s inventory. However, houses built post-1980 tend to be considerably larger. From 1920 to 1960, the median home size was approximately 1,500 square feet. Starting in 1980, the typical size increased to 2,200 square feet, and after the year 2000, the median size rose to 2,700 square feet.
Appreciation rates vary depending on the size of the homes. Over the past five years, homes with 5 to 6 bedrooms have experienced an average appreciation rate of 60%, homes with 4 bedrooms about 46%, while 2-bedroom homes have seen a 20% increase.

These trends align with the growing desire for larger living spaces, a preference that became particularly evident during the COVID pandemic. Homeowners are now staying in their residences for twice as long as they did 20 years ago. Additionally, the demand for multi-generational homes is increasing, whether to care for aging parents or to accommodate adult children who are returning home or have never left.
