FEB. 2020 SANTA CLARA COUNTY STATS

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.

San Jose Eichlers’ Appreciation from $14,800 – $925,999_Rose Glen Neighborhood

Dave Weinstein, of Eichler Network, recently published a fascinating article about “Rose Glen” San Jose Eichler owner, Karina Marshall, sleuthing to learn more about the history of her housing tract, designed by A. Quincy Jones in the early 50’s post WWII. I have represented Buyers for Eichlers in this wonderful, original Eichler housing tract neighborhood in San Jose. Karina located this advertisement for Eichler Homes priced between $14,800 – $16,750 featuring luxurious architect-designed homes with such custom extras as engineered radiant heating, Armstrong Cork floors, wood paneled walls, concrete patios and welcoming Vets.
