Half Moon Bay's Three September Closings Span $1M to $2.5M — and One Sold for a Dollar Over Ask
The most recent sale to record in Half Moon Bay came in at $2,232 per square foot. The 180-day median for all Half Moon Bay sales is $857 per square foot. That gap — roughly 2.6 times the broader benchmark — is the defining fact of this week's record.
This is a market-pulse roundup, not a single-property analysis, so no like-for-like peer comparison applies. The figures below reflect the three most recent recorded closings and eight active listings as of September 25, 2026.
This week's closings
| Address | Closed | List Price | Sale Price | Sq ft | $/sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 817 Railroad Avenue | recorded on Sep 22 | $2,499,000 | $2,500,000 | 1,120 | $2,232 |
| 568 Creekside Court | recorded on Sep 19 | $2,600,000 | $2,600,000 | 2,470 | $1,053 |
| 435 Dolores Avenue | recorded on Sep 20 | $1,095,000 | $1,000,000 | 1,100 | $909 |
Three single-family sales closed within a four-day window. Two of the three sold at or above their list price; 435 Dolores Avenue closed at $95,000 under list, landing at $1,000,000 on a 1,100-square-foot house. At $909 per square foot, it is the lowest of the three — and still above the 180-day city median.
817 Railroad Avenue is the outlier. At 1,120 square feet, it closed at $2,500,000, one dollar over its asking price. That per-square-foot figure of $2,232 is not driven by size; it is a small house at a high price. 568 Creekside Court is larger at 2,470 square feet and closed exactly at list, producing a per-square-foot figure of $1,053.

How the Half Moon Bay market is doing
Across all property types, 19 sales recorded in the last 180 days, with prices ranging from $853,000 to $3,935,000. The median sale price over that window is $1,700,000, the median size is 2,061 square feet, and the median price per square foot is $857. Median lot size across sales is 5,566 square feet. No comparable 180-day window from the prior year is available in the current record, so year-over-year comparison is not possible. The market is operating with eight active listings against three closings recorded in the past week — a ratio that reflects the characteristically low transaction volume on the San Mateo coast.
