Home in Almaden San Jose

The entire San Jose Silicon Valley real estate market continues to be hot hot hot for sellers. The hot seller market presents challenges for buyers who find competition in bidding wars with buyers making offers substantially over list price with no contingencies. Demand remains high and inventory continues to shrink.

Sellers Beware – Don’t Be Fooled by Bidding Wars!

Don’t be fooled by a hot seller market creating bidding wars. An extreme lack of inventory does not mean a seller does not have to hire an agent with excellent marketing skills with a proven track record for listing, selling, and closing homes. All agents are not created equal just as all homes are not created equal. The homes creating extreme bidding wars are homes that are presented as a model home.

Let’s take a look at how the market performed in February 2018.
