San Francisco Bay Area: Smarter Density Designs

San Jose Home Prices Dip but the Market Stays Competitive
Despite a 2% drop in the median list price to $1.35M, San Jose’s market remains highly competitive. Active listings nudged up by 2.9%, and new listings climbed by 10.4%, yet inventory remains tight with just over 2,000 homes available. Properties are selling in an average of 40 days—a pace I’ve seen fluctuate many times in my 30+ years serving San Jose’s buyers and sellers. Even with these shifts, navigating our local market still takes experience and a keen understanding of what drives value in each neighborhood.

Which U.S. Towns Have Home Values that Compete with America's Priciest Metros?
After more than 30 years helping clients navigate the San Jose and Bay Area markets, one trend remains clear: there are towns across the U.S. where home values rival those of our most expensive metropolitan areas. Some communities now see median home prices topping $1 million, putting affordability out of reach for many. Meanwhile, other towns still offer homes below $300,000, making ownership more accessible. These dramatic differences are influenced by factors like seasonal buyers and local income levels, and I see their impact firsthand with every transaction. Understanding these variations is key when considering your next move—especially in a market as dynamic as ours.

Regional Markets Shift as Luxury Threshold Continues to Decline
We're seeing a notable shift in the luxury real estate landscape: the national entry point for luxury homes has dipped 2.7%, now at $1,250,750. This adjustment is consistent across all tiers, and even with the lower price points, these homes are moving off the market more quickly than before. Here in California, the trend stands out—prices are down, yet demand keeps transactions brisk. Austin, for example, experienced a 9.6% decrease. After more than 30 years representing buyers and sellers throughout San Jose and the surrounding areas, I’ve witnessed how market dynamics like these can reshape both expectations and opportunities. Staying informed about these shifts is essential for anyone navigating our evolving residential real estate market.

AI Housing Predictions: Help or Hidden Influence?
With over 30 years navigating the San Jose real estate landscape, I’ve seen technology reshape our industry again and again. Lately, AI-driven housing predictions have become a hot topic—these models sift through everything from interest rates to neighborhood trends and even online sentiment, revealing patterns we might otherwise overlook. For homeowners and buyers, AI is now flagging potential future hot spots and helping guide decisions on pricing, timing, or even which renovations might add value. That data-backed insight can be reassuring when you’re facing big moves. Still, trust is essential; many AI tools operate as black boxes, with powerful predictions but little transparency about how they arrive at those conclusions. That raises legitimate questions about potential bias baked into the data. As AI use spreads, its influence could subtly shape the very markets it’s analyzing, reinforcing cycles or amplifying swings. I’ve found that in both established and emerging markets, strong results depend not just on powerful data but on careful oversight, quality information, and a human touch at every step. In my experience, blending technology with real-world expertise and collaborative decision-making is key to making confident, informed choices in today’s evolving housing market.
