Design inspo 🌿

A spa-like retreat where nature and luxury seamlessly meet. Floor-to-ceiling glass, soft veined stone, fluted marble details, and warm metallic fixtures create a space that feels both serene and elevated.

Natural light pours in from every angle, while the lush greenery beyond the glass blurs the line between indoors and out. Every element is calming, intentional, and effortlessly refined.

This is how you create a bathroom that feels less like a room and more like a daily escape.

Design inspo 🌿

An earthy, organic living space that feels grounded, warm, and effortlessly inviting. Rich olive tones, natural fibers, layered textures, and soft neutral accents work together to create a calming connection to nature.

The arched built-ins add architectural character, while the stone, wood, greenery, and warm metallic touches bring depth and balance throughout the room. Every element feels intentional without feeling overly designed.

This is how you create a space that feels both sophisticated and comfortable - elevated, timeless, and deeply connected to the natural world.

📍 Santa Clara County Market Update - April 2026

The Santa Clara County market remained active through April, with single-family homes continuing to show strength while the condo market faced ongoing pricing pressure and slower absorption.

April snapshot:

🏠 Single-Family Homes
✓ Median Price: $2.1M (0.0% YoY)
✓ Avg. Days on Market: 17 (+2 days YoY)
✓ Homes Sold: 837 (+0.1% YoY)

🏢 Condos
✓ Median Price: $750K (-6.0% YoY)
✓ Avg. Days on Market: 39 (+13 days YoY)
✓ Units Sold: 141 (-14.0% YoY)

What this tells us: The single-family market continues to hold steady with strong pricing and healthy buyer demand, while the condo market is seeing softer pricing and longer market times as buyers remain more selective.

As we move further into the spring market, strategy and positioning continue to matter more than ever for both buyers and sellers.
