Here Comes the Sun


Finally....our normal California weather. No more turning the heat on in the morning to "get the chill out," and the woolens can make their final trip of the season to the dry cleaners. Yesterday, after a walk-through at the property that is closing on Thursday, I stopped at the car wash. Then I called and scheduled carpet cleaning for tomorrow. It will be a pleasure to show houses without fighting the cold and rain. We are so spoiled in the Bay Area that a longer rainy season makes headlines...but that is a major reason for our high real estate prices, and for the fact that the median sale price in Silicon Valley climbed 7.3 percent over this period a year ago. This trend away from entry level and distressed sales to higher-priced properties is a healthy sign that our market is steadily moving back towards normalcy.
