    Seasonal averages from the last 24 months of Scotts Valley, CA sales. Individual results vary with price, condition, and how the broader market moves. A local agent can pinpoint the right timing for your home.

    What These Numbers Mean for Scotts Valley Buyers and Sellers

    The Housing Market Trends module above shows a Scotts Valley market where negotiating leverage is more balanced than headline prices alone suggest. The median sale price sits at $1,209,200, a +1.7% move year over year, while homes are taking a median of 41 days to sell, a +17 days change in market time. That slower pace, combined with 2.1 months of supply and 38.3% of listings recording a price drop, tells buyers that patience carries weight in many negotiations.

    At the same time, 20.0% of homes still closed above asking and 26.2% went off the market within two weeks, so well-priced, move-in-ready properties in zip codes 95066 and 95067 continue to draw competition. The average sale-to-list ratio of 99.03% confirms that most sellers are landing very close to their asking figure. For a buyer, this split market means anchoring offers to comparable price-per-square-foot data (currently $637.43) matters more than reacting to the list price, and homes sitting past the median timeline often invite reasonable concessions.

    For a seller, the takeaway is disciplined initial pricing: with 28 active listings against 14 monthly sales, overpricing tends to trigger the price cuts now affecting nearly a third of the market. Getting the entry number right is the difference between a two-week sale and a listing that lingers. With 320 licensed agents operating locally, the data-driven question is not who is available, but who consistently prices and negotiates well in these exact conditions.

    What Scotts Valley Home Prices Mean for You

    What this shift means: Compared with a year ago, the median sale price moved +1.7%, market time shifted by a +17 days change, and the sale-to-list ratio moved -0.67%. Together these figures point to a market that has cooled from its peak pace while still holding firm on final pricing, which gives buyers more room to evaluate and negotiate without signaling that sellers are broadly capitulating.

    What to Look for in a Scotts Valley Realtor

    Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks the metrics that actually predict outcomes: closed volume, transaction count, and how consistently a negotiator protects a client's price. EffectiveAgents ranks 38 agents in Scotts Valley out of 320 licensed locally, filtering on verified performance rather than advertising spend. The top-ranked agent, Michele Replogle at Compass, has closed 363 transactions with $218.7M in all-time sales volume, a track record that spans a wide range of price points across zip codes 95066 and 95067. That depth matters in a market where 20.0% of homes sell over asking yet 38.3% see price cuts, because the right pricing and negotiation strategy differs sharply between those two outcomes. Experienced agents read which side of that line a given property falls on before the listing goes live. Review patterns are equally telling: Michele Replogle holds 84 reviews, and a consistent body of feedback over many transactions is a stronger signal than a handful of recent five-star entries. When comparing agents, weigh sustained review volume alongside closed-sale data.

    How We Rank Scotts Valley Real Estate Agents

    Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Scotts Valley market today.

    Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

    Scotts Valley Real Estate Agent FAQs

    Who is the best real estate agent in Scotts Valley, CA?

    The top-ranked agent in Scotts Valley, CA by verified performance is Michele Replogle at Compass, with 363 closed transactions, 84 client reviews, and $218.7M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents identifies leading agents by analyzing 117 local transactions and measuring closed-sale outcomes rather than advertising. Of 320 licensed agents in the area, only 38 meet our ranking criteria. The best fit for you depends on your price range and timeline, so we recommend comparing several ranked agents before deciding.

    How were these Scotts Valley real estate agents ranked?

    Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.

    How many real estate agents are in Scotts Valley?

    Our data covers 320 real estate agents serving the Scotts Valley area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Scotts Valley market data, not simply everyone holding a license.

    What does the median sale price in Scotts Valley mean for sellers?

    Scotts Valley's median sale price is $1,209,200 as of August 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.

    How long does it take to sell a house in Scotts Valley?

    Homes in Scotts Valley currently take a median of 41 days to sell, reflecting a +17 days change in market time compared with last year. Actual timelines vary widely: well-priced, move-in-ready homes can go under contract quickly, with 26.2% of listings leaving the market within two weeks. Pricing accuracy is the biggest factor, since 38.3% of listings eventually cut their price after starting too high. Condition, location within zip codes 95066 and 95067, and seasonal demand also influence how long a sale takes.

    Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?

    No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.

    Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?

    No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.

    What commission do Scotts Valley realtors charge?

    Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.

    Should I use a local Scotts Valley agent or a national brand?

    The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Scotts Valley neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.

    What questions should I ask a Scotts Valley realtor before hiring them?

    Ask how many homes they have closed in Scotts Valley in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
