FEB. 2020 SANTA CLARA COUNTY STATS

Leave a reply

By: Jeni Pfeiffer, Associate Broker, Realtor®

The real estate market turned quickly and heated up with multiple offers late DEC 2019, JAN and FEB 2020. The market can turn on a dime, and has shown this again. Mortgage interest rates dipped below 3.5%, and the real estate inventory dwindled. With a low supply, and still high demand, with favorable mortgage rates, bidding wars returned! For example, 635 Yosemite Avenue, Mountain View 94041 was listed on 01/30/2020 for $2,448,000 and SOLD 27% “over-asking” to CLOSE at $3,100,000.

As of March 4, 2020, the Bay Area Real Estate currently has 997 ACTIVE Status units (Single Family, Condo and Townhomes available for sale) in the Santa Clara County. FEB 2020 recorded 806 Home SALES ranging from $359,000 (1062 Summershore Court, San Jose 95122) to $8,100,000 (28011 Elena Road, Los Altos Hills 94022), with 28 Average Days on Market DOM. The Average Close Price was $1,337,243 with 46% of the Sales selling between $800,000 – $1,400,000.

Realtor.com reports SAN JOSE Ranks #1 where Home Prices have fallen most

Leave a reply

Realtor.com reports that SAN JOSE, CA ranks #1 where Home Prices have fallen the most, in their findings, dated May 20, 2019. Most recently, the real estate market has experenced a shortage of available homes for sale to balance the demand of Buyer’s needs. Combined with super low interest rates, the results were that the Bay Area housing sales prices escalated at record-breaking speed from years 2011-2018. This year has delivered a “cooling-off” phase, in some areas, such as San Jose, CA as prices have softened and inventory has increased.

Houses priced right are still selling quickly, and some “over-asking.” The market is relatively balanced, and favorable for both Buyers and Sellers. The mortgage interest rates are low and there are more homes to choose from.
