What I find so interesting about this is that the days on market for single family homes and condos is very similar. This was not the case a few years ago. I think this is because the job market in the Silicon Valley is on fire. However, many of the high tech jobs are being filled by very young workers. Recent college grads are being hired at Facebook, Linkedin, google, and many other very new startups. The home buying demographic is very young, and these younger buyers are very happy buying condos and townhomes.

If you know someone who is considering buying or selling a home, please give me a call. I will provide professional & courteous service along with knowledgeable guidance through the process.



With very best regards,
