Thinking of Selling Before the Holidays? Your Timeline Starts Now.

The holidays may still feel a few months away, but if you'd like to sell your home and potentially be settled before Thanksgiving, Christmas, or the end of the year, September is the time to start planning.

Selling a home isn't just about putting a sign in the yard. Before your home hits the market, there may be:

✓ Repairs or updates to consider
✓ Decluttering and preparation
✓ Staging and photography
✓ Pricing and market analysis
✓ Marketing preparation
✓ Showings and negotiations
✓ Escrow and closing

And in today's market, preparation matters.

A recent 2026 Homes.com report found that sellers are facing more competition for buyer attention than in recent years. Homes that are priced correctly, prepared well, and presented properly from the beginningmay be better positioned to attract serious buyers and achieve a successful sale before year-end.

Fall can also bring a different type of buyer. While there may be fewer buyers than during the spring rush, many of those still actively searching have a reason to move—relocation, a job change, downsizing, or simply wanting to be settled before the new year.

I can help you evaluate your property's current market value, look at what's happening in your local market, and discuss how a potential sale could fit into your timeline.

What Does $1.5 Million Actually Buy You in Silicon Valley?

If you're shopping for a home with a budget around $1.5M, where you choose to buy can make a huge difference in what you get.

📍 Palo Alto: At this price point, buyers will generally be looking at condos, townhomes and smaller properties—with location being one of the biggest advantages.

📍 Mountain View: $1.5M can open up more condo and townhome possibilities, with a little more space while keeping you close to major Silicon Valley employers.

📍 San Jose: Your budget can stretch considerably further depending on the neighborhood, including opportunities for more space and potentially a single-family home.
And the timing is interesting for buyers right now.

A new August 2026 Redfin analysis,found that late summer has historically been one of the best times of year for San Jose buyers to find opportunities for discounts off sellers' original asking prices.

So if you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the “right” time to start looking, this may be a good time to see what's actually available—not necessarily to rush into buying, but to understand where your budget gives you the most value.

Shopping in the $1M–$2M range?
Send me a DM with “1.5M”
and tell me your ideal location, commute and must-haves. I'll put together a current selection of homes so you can compare what your budget could buy across Silicon Valley.
