If your family loves the outdoors, Evergreen isn't just a neighborhood — it's a lifestyle. This southeast San Jose community has earned its reputation as one of the safest neighborhoods in the city, and for good reason: families here prioritize connection, community, and access to nature.

Evergreen's park system is genuinely impressive. Joseph D. Grant County Park offers 9,000 acres of hiking trails, horseback riding, and open space — perfect for weekend adventures. Lake Cunningham Native Garden provides shoreline walks and open green space for picnics and volleyball. Closer to home, you've got West Evergreen Park for neighborhood gatherings, Falls Creek Park for kids' playdates, and Montgomery Hill Park with dirt pathways along Evergreen Creek. Evergreen Village Square anchors the community with a farmer's market and frequent festivals, creating that small-town feel within the city. Whether you're a dog lover, a hiker, or someone who just wants your kids playing outside safely, Evergreen delivers.

If you've been watching the Santa Clara County market, you've noticed something shift. Mortgage rates are climbing, inventory is growing, and buyer power is changing in real time. What does that mean for you?

Right now, Evergreen has 111 active listings — more options than we've seen in months. That's good news for buyers who've been waiting on the sidelines, but it's also a reality check for sellers who've been holding out for peak pricing. Mortgage rates are hovering around 6.94%, the highest we've seen this year, which means every buyer's purchasing power has taken a hit. A buyer who could afford a $1.5M home at 3% rates can now afford roughly $1.2M at today's rates — that's a $300K difference on the same monthly payment.

See the full Evergreen market report here:

https://svrbrokerage.com/market-report?id=2995010

For sellers, this is the moment to price strategically and highlight what makes your home worth the premium. For buyers, this is your window to negotiate and find homes that were overpriced six months ago. The market isn't crashing — it's recalibrating. And timing matters more than ever.

If you're thinking about buying or selling in Santa Clara County, now is the time to understand what your specific situation looks like in this market. Let's talk about your timeline, your goals, and what makes sense for your bottom line.

08/20/2026

Choosing between East Foothills and Almaden isn't just about price—it's about the lifestyle you want and the long-term value you're building. These two neighborhoods feel like different worlds, even though they're both in South San Jose.

East Foothills (including Evergreen) sits on the east side of Highway 101 and is known for strong schools, newer construction from the 70s and 80s, and solid commute access to 87 and 280. Median home values here run around $1.8 million, with families drawn to top-rated schools like Evergreen High and the convenient freeway access. It's suburban, family-focused, and practical.

Almaden Valley, by contrast, is tucked into the southern foothills with a completely different character. Homes sit on significantly larger lots—many above 7,000 square feet—and the neighborhood is oriented around an outdoor lifestyle: hiking, biking, and access to the stunning Almaden Quicksilver County Park. Schools here are exceptional (Leland High is rated 10/10 on GreatSchools), and the median home value is higher at around $2.3 million, reflecting the larger parcels and scenic setting. It's quieter, more secluded, and appeals to buyers prioritizing space and nature.

For sellers, this distinction matters too. If you're in Almaden, you're marketing lifestyle and land. If you're in East Foothills, you're emphasizing schools and convenience. Both neighborhoods attract serious buyers—they just want different things.

Which profile sounds like you? Let's talk about what makes sense for your situation and timeline.

08/20/2026

Willow Glen commands some of Silicon Valley's highest prices per square foot — but if you've walked Lincoln Avenue or sat in one of the neighborhood's tree-lined parks, you understand why. This isn't just about location; it's about a lifestyle that's genuinely hard to replicate.

Willow Glen's public elementary schools average a 42% math proficiency score and 55% reading proficiency — both well above California's state averages of 36% and 45%. Add in the vibrant downtown with boutique dining and shopping, multiple parks within walking distance, and a genuine sense of community, and you're looking at a neighborhood that attracts families, professionals, and retirees for good reason. The median household income here is $95,474, and residents value the small-town feel just minutes from downtown San Jose and major tech campuses. Free street parking, walkability, and that distinctive character — these are the intangibles that justify the premium.

If Willow Glen resonates with you — whether you're looking to move here or sell a home you've built memories in — let's talk about what makes sense for your situation and timeline.

08/18/2026

A home inspection can make or break a deal. If you're buying or selling in Silicon Valley, understanding what inspectors look for—and what red flags could cost you—is essential to protecting your investment.

Inspectors examine structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, roofing, and water damage as top priorities. The biggest red flags? Foundation cracks, water intrusion, outdated wiring (especially in older Bay Area homes), and mold. Many Silicon Valley properties were built in the 1920s-1940s, which means aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube systems, and aging plumbing are common concerns. Inspectors also check gutters, drainage, roof condition, and safety hazards like missing smoke detectors. If you're selling, addressing these issues proactively—or at least being transparent about them—can prevent inspection contingencies from derailing your sale. If you're buying, a thorough inspection gives you leverage to negotiate repairs or credits before closing.

The key is preparation. Know what to expect, ask the right questions, and don't skip the inspection to save money—it's one of the most important protections you have.

08/14/2026

If you're thinking about buying or selling in San Jose right now, the market is sending mixed signals—and that's exactly why you need a clear strategy.

Here's what I'm seeing on the ground: Median home prices in San Jose are holding strong at $1,700,010 (July 2026), but inventory remains historically tight. For sellers, this means your home still has leverage—but the window for getting top dollar is narrowing as more properties come on the market. For buyers, it means competition is real, but there are opportunities if you're prepared and flexible.

The biggest pitfall I see? Both buyers and sellers underestimating the power of timing and preparation. Sellers who price strategically and get inspections done upfront close faster. Buyers who get pre-approved, understand their contingencies, and know what they're willing to negotiate on avoid costly delays and regrets.

One thing that's changed: the "rate lock-in effect." Homeowners with 3% mortgages are hesitant to sell and take on 6%+ rates, which keeps inventory tight. If you're a seller, this works in your favor. If you're a buyer, it means less competition than you might expect—but you need to move decisively when you find the right property.

My advice? Don't wait for "perfect" conditions. The market rewards preparation and action. Whether you're buying or selling, the best time to talk strategy is now—before you're under pressure.

08/11/2026

If you've been watching the San Jose market lately, you've probably noticed something shifting. Home prices, inventory, mortgage rates — they're all moving in ways that create real opportunities for both buyers and sellers. But here's the thing: the headlines don't always tell the full story.

Let's talk numbers. San Jose's median list price sits at $1,191,158, and we're seeing 853 active listings on the market right now. That's meaningful inventory compared to what we've seen in recent years. Mortgage rates are hovering around 6.2-6.5%, which is higher than the historic lows we saw a few years back, but it's also creating a different kind of buyer — one who's serious and ready to move.

See the full San Jose market report here:

https://svrbrokerage.com/market-report?id=1796584

For sellers, this means homes are still selling above asking price (around 102-104% of list), but the pace has slowed compared to the frenzy of 2021-2022. That's actually good news — it means pricing strategy matters more than ever. For buyers, the increased inventory gives you more options and more negotiating power than you've had in years.

The real takeaway? This is a market that rewards preparation and strategy. Whether you're buying or selling, understanding where we are right now — not where we were — is the key to making the right move at the right time.
