Glen Brae Drive lists at $3.8M — just under where Saratoga's median landed across 147 sales
September 30 was quiet by any measure. Two properties appeared on the MLS feed on that date. Nothing went pending. Nothing recorded a closing.
The more telling of the two new listings is 12866 Glen Brae Drive, a single-family home asking $3,788,888 — a price that sits just below the Saratoga-wide median of $4,100,000 recorded across 147 sales in the last 180 days. The second is 11435 Willow Place, a townhouse listed at $1,699,955.
How the two listings sit against each other
| Address | Type | List Price |
|---|---|---|
| 12866 Glen Brae Drive | Single Family | $3,788,888 |
| 11435 Willow Place | Townhouse | $1,699,955 |
These two properties are different animals. Comparing them directly — or against the broader Saratoga market, which is predominantly single-family homes — would distort both reads. The sections below treat each type on its own terms where the data permits.
How it compares with homes like it
Because this is a daily roundup rather than a single-subject report, no like-for-like peer set was assembled for either listing. That means there is no same-type, similar-size, nearby sale window to draw on here. The market context below covers all property types city-wide and is the best available frame for September 30 activity.
Comparable sales
The six most recent Saratoga closings in the MLS, all recorded by MLS status change:
| Address | Recorded | Price | Sq ft | $/sq ft | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22525 Rolling Hills Road | Sept 15, 2026 | $17,250,000 | 10,024 | $1,721 | — |
| 18880 Bella Vina | Sept 14, 2026 | $8,500,000 | 5,213 | $1,631 | — |
| 12425 Woodside Drive | Sept 13, 2026 | $3,500,000 | 2,295 | $1,525 | — |
| 18297 Clemson Avenue | Sept 11, 2026 | $2,850,000 | 1,748 | $1,630 | — |
| 18627 Ambleside Lane | Sept 10, 2026 | $3,880,000 | 2,188 | $1,773 | — |
| 19201 Harleigh Drive | Sept 10, 2026 | $5,101,000 | 2,742 | $1,860 | — |
Across these six recent sales, price per square foot runs from $1,525 to $1,860, with the low end anchored by a mid-size four-bedroom on Woodside Drive and the high by a five-bedroom on Harleigh Drive. Rolling Hills Road is an outlier in both size (10,024 sq ft) and price ($17.25M) that warrants its own read.
Single-family homes across Saratoga
The Saratoga market tracked here covers all property types. Over the last 180 days, 147 sales recorded a median price of $4,100,000, a median price per square foot of $1,532, and a median home size of 2,664 square feet. The price range in that window ran from $770,000 to $17,250,000. The Glen Brae Drive single-family, listed at $3,788,888, prices below that median; the Willow Place townhouse, at $1,699,955, is well below it — though comparing a townhouse to the predominantly single-family city-wide figure carries limited analytical weight.
How the Saratoga market is doing
Across all property types, Saratoga logged 147 sales in the 180 days ending September 30, 2026, versus 151 sales in the same window a year earlier — a modest dip in volume. The median sale price held flat at $4,100,000 year over year. Median price per square foot moved from $1,481 to $1,532, a gain of roughly 3.4 percent. The median lot size across those 147 sales was 13,081 square feet. The data covers all property types combined.
