Cupertino is known for its high housing prices as the majority of residential properties are multimillion-dollar homes as of 2021, with the entry-point into a single-family home at around 1.6 million dollars in the Cupertino HS area, and the entry point at around 2.2 million dollars in the Monta Vista HS area. Many smaller homes start from the mid $2 million, mid-size homes start from the high $2 million, and larger executive homes start from mid $3 million and can go up to as much as $5 million as today. However, townhouses and condos with similar square footage are relatively less expensive, owing mainly to nominal lot sizes and the many common walls and areas. Since the last late 2008 market crash, overall real estate prices have more than doubled for thirteen years.
