Monte Sereno is a small city next to Los Gatos and Saratoga, Ca, a nice part of Silicon Valley against the coastal foothills. It's completely residential except for the city office and the post office. With just 4000 residents, it is sometimes overlooked or treated like a suburb of Los Gatos, with which it shares a zip code and some services.

Monte Sereno real estate is a little different then Los Gatos real estate, though. It's a bit more expensive and upscale, and is often considered more desireable. Right now in Silicon Valley, it's the lone holdout with prices higher than they were a year ago! 

On my Live in Los Gatos blog, I had a look at Monte Sereno's housing market now as contrasted with Los Gatos now and also with its own market 2 years ago.  To learn more about the market for houses in Monte Sereno and to see a number of charts and graphs, please read on at Live in Los Gatos:
