National Cooling vs. Local Reality: What’s Happening in Real Estate Right Now? 🏠📊

Across the country, the summer market showed clear signs of tapping the brakes:

📉 Nationally: Median prices dipped for the second straight month to $429,100, while inventory hit a cycle high of 1.62M homes. Higher mortgage rates (~6.7%) are giving buyers nationwide more leverage and negotiating room for the first time in a while.

But real estate is always hyper-local—and here in Silicon Valley, the story looks very different! 🔥

📍 San Mateo County: Continues to lead the region, with single-family median prices up nearly 8% year-over-year to $2,050,000, and homes selling in an average of just 12 days.

📍 Santa Clara County: Prices hold steady at $1,850,000, with single-family supply remaining tight at 1.6 months (firmly in seller’s market territory).

📍 Santa Cruz County: Saw the biggest speed-up, with homes selling in just 17 days (down from 26 days last year)!

The Takeaway:
While buyers nationally are gaining leverage, single-family buyers locally still need to move fast and come prepared. Meanwhile, condo shoppers in Santa Clara and Santa Cruz Counties have genuine room to negotiate!

🍕❤️ Join me for a special evening of community, support & great food!

My local favorite, Amato Pizzeria, is hosting its annual FREE Dinner for All Cancer Survivors on Tuesday, September 22nd, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM.

As a two-time cancer survivor, events like this hold a special place in my heart. Cancer puts you through challenges that are hard to put into words, and coming together with others who understand reminds us that we’re never alone.

I’ll be sharing a table with a few fellow survivor friends, and we’d love for you to join us! Whether you want to share your story, connect with other survivors, or simply enjoy a delicious meal surrounded by kindness, there’s a seat at the table for you. ❤️

A huge thank-you to Amato Pizzeria for opening their doors and giving back to our community year after year. It’s local businesses like this that make our neighborhood feel like family.

Hope to see you there on September 22nd!

BEST TIME TO BUY IS COMING UP!! 🗓️ MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Sept 27 – Oct 3 is officially the BEST week to buy a home in 2026!

According to Realtor.com’s latest report, buyers who shop during this sweet spot can save $14,000 or more compared to summer peak prices!

Here’s why fall is working in your favor this year:

🏡 32% More Inventory: More active listings than earlier this year means more choices.

🏷️ Price Cuts: Roughly 5.7% of listings are offering price reductions—sellers are ready to negotiate!

⏱️ Less Pressure: Homes are sitting a bit longer, and property viewership is down 30% from the summer peak—meaning fewer bidding wars and more time to make a decision.

While interest rates are still elevated, the extra inventory and willing sellers give you the leverage to find a home you actually love—and negotiate price, terms, or closing concessions.

Thinking about making a move this fall? Let’s connect and look at what’s open in our local market right now! 📩

The week of Sept. 27-Oct. 3 offers buyers the most favorable market conditions, including more inventory and less competition.

It’s been one year since I said goodbye to my sister, and not a day goes by where I don’t think of her incredible strength.
She fought with every breath—even taking her battle all the way to a judge just to get the imaging that standard post-breast removal protocols denied her. Medical standards do not always line up with reality, but she never stopped standing up for herself.
In her memory, and with Cancer Awareness Month coming up, please remember: standard care isn’t always enough. Be your own advocate, demand the scans, and fight for your care the way she did.
I love you and miss you every single day, sis. You are forever loved and never forgotten, Monica Uram.

More than 6 in 10 Americans think they have to put 20% down to buy a home, and that misconception could be keeping some would-be buyers on the sidelines. 🏡 There are a variety of loan programs with different down payment requirements, so it’s worth talking with a trusted loan officer to learn what options may be available to you.
