These were the five highest-priced home sales reported in the San Jose metro area for the week ending October 11, 2026, and together they came to $60.33 million. All five are in Santa Clara County: two in Palo Alto, two in Los Altos and one in Los Altos Hills.
The group spans nearly a century of building, from a 1926 home to one finished in 2018, and runs from a single-story Los Altos home on about a third of an acre to an estate of almost 16,000 square feet. Compass listed two of the five.
No. 1 — $15,000,000 · 1730 Webster St, Palo Alto, California
The top sale of the week was a 2018 home in Old Palo Alto that sold for $15,000,000. Custom-built on a 10,000-square-foot lot and remodeled in 2024, it pairs the traditional character of the neighborhood with a crisp contemporary interior. It is the newest of the five homes and has the most bedrooms, six, along with five baths in 5,521 square feet.
The centerpiece inside is a floating staircase wrapped in glass, set against white oak floors. The living and dining areas open to a kitchen finished in white lacquer cabinetry and quartzite, with room for casual meals and a family room lined with built-in storage. A fireplace warms the living room, and there is an office with its own built-ins.
The home rises two stories above a finished basement. Upstairs, the primary suite opens to a private balcony. The lower level is given over to recreation, with a media room, a fitness area and a wine cellar alongside additional bedrooms. The property last sold for $10.25 million in 2025.
