In this episode, we break down what’s happening right now across Santa Clara County, including homes receiving 25+ offers and selling hundreds of thousands over list price. Some properties in Los Altos and Mountain View are even selling $1,000,000 over asking.

We discuss:

• How the market activity is trickling down into San Jose neighborhoods

• Real examples of listings receiving 10–25 offers

• Strategies agents use when negotiating offers

• Why you should never discourage an offer as a listing agent

We also dive into major industry changes including the Compass + Redfin partnership, what it means for buyers and sellers, and whether private exclusive listings actually benefit consumers.

Plus we discuss a new anti-money laundering law affecting all-cash real estate purchases and how it could impact investors buying property through LLCs or trusts.

In this episode, we break down what’s happening right now in Santa Clara County:

• 658 active single-family homes for nearly 2 million people

• Inventory rising — but still historically tight

• More 6%+ mortgages than 3% loans for the first time since the pandemic

• Are AI layoffs slowing buyers down?

• The $400K downtown high-rise debate

• SB9 lot splits — are they actually worth it?

• Billionaire wealth tax & what it could mean for California

If you’re a homeowner sitting on a 3% rate, a buyer worried about tech layoffs, or just trying to understand where Silicon Valley real estate is headed in 2026 — this episode is for you.
