Where Mountain View Homes Sell Over Asking, Neighborhood by Neighborhood
by
In the 24 months to October 27, 2026, 1,008 Mountain View homes sold in the MLS records we can read (houses, condos and townhomes, repeat records removed). The typical one sold for 2.2% over its list price, and 64% sold over asking. For houses alone, the typical sale was 6.0% over and 72% sold over asking. Here is how that breaks down across our 21 Mountain View neighborhood guides.
The short answer
- Furthest over asking (guides with at least 10 sales): St. Francis Acres & Grandmeadow (10.2% over, 89% of 18 sold over), Stierlin Estates (7.6% over, 79% of 14 sold over) and Waverly Park (7.4% over, 75% of 65 sold over).
- Closest to asking: Willowgate (at asking, 48% of 29 sold over) and Downtown Mountain View (at asking, 36% of 14 sold over).
- All 21 guides had 5 or more sales in the window, enough to list here.
- Over asking isn’t the whole story. Where many homes sell right at asking, list prices may simply sit closer to what homes end up selling for.

Reading it right
- Sale-to-list measures price against asking, not value. A seller who lists low to draw offers will show a bigger “over asking” number than one who lists near the expected price, even if both homes sold for what the market would pay.
- It uses the list price on the sale record, usually the last one, so a home that cut its price and then sold at the new price counts as “at asking.”
- Small samples swing. Each row shows its sale count; a guide with 6 sales can move a lot when one more home closes.
- Condos and townhomes behave differently from houses, so the last column shows houses on their own where a guide had at least 5 house sales.
- Some guides overlap, and a sale inside two outlines counts in both. 676 of the 1,008 sales fall inside at least one of our guides.
