sunnyvale: 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. Notwithstanding this, however, the real estate markets in both Santa Clara and San Mateo counties remain in record territory in terms of prices and well off their average inventory levels over the past 15+ years. Record median prices were seen again in Janaury in the Silicon Valley real estate market, breaking last year's records. Demand continues to outstrip supply in Santa Clara County as 60% (versus 58% last month) of homes (0 comments)

sunnyvale: January Silicon Valley Real Estate Update
- 02/02/16 05:43 AM
Quick Market Overview: What occurs at the end of each calendar year is the expiration of a good many of the listings.

sunnyvale: 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)
