Over the past 3–6 months in San Francisco, rent prices have experienced a modest rebound. According to multiple market trackers, average rents rose roughly 2–4% year-over-year, and median rents climbed from around $3,200 in Q1 to approximately $3,430–$3,495 by mid‑2025. This uptick is largely driven by two key factors: resurgent demand as workers return to offices (especially among tech companies like Amazon, Google, Salesforce) and tight rental supply, with permit activity and new construction lagging significantly. As of mid‑2025, the current median monthly rent across the region is approximately $3,430.

Over the past 3–6 months, rents in Cupertino have shown a steady upward trend, with average prices increasing modestly across most unit types. Notably, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments saw the most significant growth, rising by approximately 4–6% since late 2024. This increase is largely driven by strong demand from tech professionals returning to on-site or hybrid work schedules and limited inventory in a high-opportunity school district and employment hub. As Cupertino remains a sought-after location for families and professionals alike, landlords are maintaining or raising rates in response to consistent leasing activity. As of Q2 2025, the median monthly rent in Cupertino is approximately $4,000.
