Every day it seems that our large, local newspaper, The San Jose Mercury News, runs a story on the real estate market. Unfortunately, the news never seems to be good. Today's feature was on home sales in the million plus price range and how the number of those sales has been declining substantially throughout California (down 43%) and in Silicon Valley (down 34%) as well.

Several cities in Santa Clara County offer some lovely homes worth well in excess of one million dollars: Los Gatos, San Jose's Almaden Valley, Monte Sereno, and Saratoga are in good company with other upscale communities featuring high end homes.

Today I posted on the Saratoga real estate market in particular, giving attention to the various price quartiles (segments of the market) and the luxury home market especially.
