santa clara county: February 2016 Silicon Valley Real Estate Market Update
- 02/10/16 10:01 AM
Quick Market Overview: As is usual for this time of year, the number of available homes for sale have increased. While not a huge jump, we do see a trend change nonetheless.

Record median prices were seen again in Janaury in the Silicon Valley real estate market, breaking last year's records.

santa clara county: October Silicon Valley Real Estate Market Trends
- 10/18/13 07:06 AM
The Silicon Valley real estate market has taken its proverbial foot off the gas pedal. Still a robust market climate, especially for this time of year, the market has cooled a bit. An indication of this is that there are fewer offers per listing than earlier in the year. Now, some of this is normal seasonal variations but, I think, some has to do with that a fever-pitched market can’t last indefinitely. Buyers get burned too many times in multiple offer situations and pull out of contention for a while. Prices thus go into a “choppy” time not really going up nor down. (0 comments)
