Happy Thursday, everyone! Today’s feature of House Hunter “On The Loose!” in Silicon Valley, we feature fellow Intero listing agent John van Dyk and his newest listing at 95 Church Street, Unit #2205. It’s a 3 bedroom, 2 bath 1,627 SqFt single level condo in coveted Forbes Mill, Los Gatos.

Location, security, and convenience with easy access to all Los Gatos community; I love Los Gatos and grew up coming to the downtown since a kid grabbing a bite to eat after spending an active day sailing or windsurfing at Lexington or biking the Kennedy/Shannon loop. This property has the ideal downtown location, set in a quiet section just off Main Street. Literally steps away from shopping, restaurants, Los Gatos Creek Trail for hiking and biking, public library, excellent Los Gatos High School, as well as Van Meter Elementary and Fisher Middle school.

*This video gives us a private tour of the property & features a casual interview with listing agent John van Dyk, Intero Real Estate Srv.

It’s the end of the year of 2020 and even though there are 63% more new listings in the month of November in the Bay Area (according to Aculist / MLSlistings) housing is limited and buyer demand remains strong when traditionally we tend to see a real estate market holiday slow down.

The Cambrian Park area of San Jose is very desirable for the proximity to major Silicon Valley tech hub, shopping, restaurants and schools. One thing I forgot to mention is that Cambrian is in the path of progress with the Cambrian Park Plaza Mixed Use Village, some of us ‘old timer/locals’ remember Cambrian Park for the Cambrian Park Plaza Carousel which is now considered a landmark.

Oct 2020 market report for national and SF Bay Area. Hello Sellers! If you were waiting for that time that you wished. you had taken advantage of last time and WISHED you had got the most out of your money before it went down – well, maybe this is your time. Here’s Oct housing trend and we take a look at what the economy has done nationally and what’s happening now locally in the SF Bay Area. We learn how the economist forecasters change their home price appreciation predictions. We discuss why the average U.S. citizen (not home buyers) have improved their FICO scores and proof that the American entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well during times of economic distress. And lastly, we learn why being a seller in this market is a fantastic opportunity (with existing home sales up 34% YTY and listings down -32% in the Bay Area).

Does the home I’m currently in meet my needs for the next decade?

Want to live the country life but still be an hour away from Silicon Valley? $800K may seem like a lot of money, but here in Silicon Valley it’s difficult to find a single family home with acreage.

Whether you’re from Santa Clara county, San Mateo county or Santa Cruz county, there has been a trend of families looking for more space, larger outdoor living areas for family gatherings and more rooms with multi-purpose functionality as we continue to stay safe and work from home.

Check out this video to see if this 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath 2,045 sqft home (with over 2 acres) fits your lifestyle.

Seller’s ‘Love Letter’ to a buyer is a good idea – The seller can elaborate about their favorite best features of the property and the memories attached to the home. Also sometimes included in a letter to prospective buyers are neighborhood shops, restaurants, and parks. This love letter from the seller describes the pros and perceived cons and how much they think their home is worth and why. If you’re a seller would you consider writing a buyer love letter to your prospective buyers? Do you think this would benefit the sale of your home?

Thank you, take care & be safe.

Packing an emergency kit: Assemble an emergency suitcase your family elder can quickly grab in the event of a fire. When a wildfire requires evacuation, every second counts.

Establishing good practices: Developing precautionary habits can keep an older adult safer when it comes to a home fire or a wildfire. Put glasses and hearing aids on the bedside table. Always have cell phones charged. If an older adult uses a wheelchair, walker, or cane, encourage them to keep it nearby.

Purchasing an emergency radio: In the event of a power outage, an emergency radio allows older adults to stay connected. Whether it is a crank radio or a battery-operated one, there are a variety of options to choose from.

Planning evacuation routes: It’s also important to plan escape routes from every room in the house. For rooms upstairs or homes on a higher elevation, you may want to order fire escape ladders that attach to windows. If your loved one may have trouble climbing down a ladder, they should stay close to the ground floor.

Creating a neighborhood escape plan: Just like you need two escape routes from the senior’s home, you also need two separate ways out of their neighborhood. If one is blocked by fire, they won’t lose time trying to figure out what to do. When the order comes to evacuate, it’s also important to know where a safe place to retreat is.
