If you're buying an older home in Silicon Valley, a foundation inspection isn't optional—it's essential. Most of our housing stock was built between the 1920s and 1950s, and these homes face unique structural challenges that modern homes don't. Before you commit to a purchase, you need to understand what inspectors are actually looking for and what different findings really mean.

When a structural engineer inspects a foundation, they're examining several critical areas: the foundation walls themselves (looking for cracks, settling, or moisture intrusion), the floor structure and support piers (checking for uplift, movement, or pest damage), the crawlspace or basement (assessing moisture levels and wood degradation), and the overall drainage system around the home. In Silicon Valley specifically, inspectors watch for foundation cracks from soil movement, settling in volcanic soils, earthquake-related damage, and moisture problems from our winter rains. Not all cracks are equal—hairline cracks from concrete shrinkage are typically minor, but horizontal cracks or stair-step patterns in block foundations signal more serious settling or lateral pressure and warrant a structural engineer's evaluation. Pier and beam foundations (common in older homes) can develop rotting floor joists, termite damage, or shifting support piers over time. The good news: most foundation issues are manageable if caught early. A professional inspection gives you a clear picture of what you're buying and what repairs might be needed.

If you're considering an older home in San Jose, Willow Glen, Almaden, or any of our established neighborhoods, don't skip the foundation inspection. Understanding the structural condition before you buy protects your investment and helps you make an informed decision about timing and price. Let's talk about what you're really getting in that home you love.

09/17/2026

If you've been watching the San Jose market lately, you've probably noticed things feel different than they did six months ago. Home prices are stabilizing, inventory is shifting, and mortgage rates are reshaping what buyers can actually afford. But here's what matters: these numbers don't tell the whole story—they tell YOUR story only if you understand what they mean for your specific situation.

Let's break down what's happening right now. The median home price in San Jose is sitting at $1.650M, and we're seeing active listings at levels that give both buyers and sellers more breathing room than we had earlier this year. For sellers, this means less competition on the market—homes that are priced right and presented well are still moving. For buyers, it means you have more options to evaluate and potentially more negotiating power than you did in the spring. Mortgage rates are hovering around 6.65–6.75%, which impacts your monthly payment and overall purchasing power. Days on market have stretched slightly, giving buyers time to make thoughtful decisions instead of rushing into multiple-offer situations.

See the full San Jose market report here:

But here's the thing: market conditions are just one piece of the puzzle. What matters most is whether NOW is the right time for YOU. Are you a seller looking to capitalize on equity before rates shift again? A buyer ready to lock in a rate and build equity? Someone relocating to Silicon Valley and trying to time your entry? The answer changes everything about strategy, timing, and what neighborhoods make sense for your budget and lifestyle.

I've spent 27 years helping families navigate exactly these decisions—and I've learned that the best move is always the one that aligns with your goals, not the market's headlines. Let's talk about what you're really looking for and whether this moment is your moment.

09/10/2026

The San Jose real estate market is sending a clear signal right now — and it's different depending on which side of the transaction you're on. With a median list price of $1,198,400 and mortgage rates hovering around 6.7%, the dynamics have shifted from the frenzy we saw a few years ago. If you're thinking about buying, selling, or just curious about timing, here's what's actually happening in our market.

San Jose is showing signs of a more balanced market than we've seen in years. Homes are selling at asking price on average, and the median time on market sits around 21 days — faster than the national average, but slower than the multiple-offer bidding wars of 2021-2022. Inventory levels matter here: with 838 active listings in San Jose, buyers have more choices, but competition is still real for homes in desirable neighborhoods and price ranges. For sellers, this means pricing strategy and condition matter more than ever. For buyers, it means you have negotiating room — but you still need to move decisively on the right property.

See the full San Jose market report here:

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

Mortgage rates are the other piece of the puzzle. At 6.7% for a 30-year fixed, rates have stabilized after months of volatility. That's higher than the historic lows of 2020-2021, but it's also creating a window of opportunity for buyers who've been waiting on the sidelines. Sellers should understand that buyer purchasing power has shifted — a $1.2M home today requires different monthly payments than it did two years ago, which affects who can actually compete for your property.

The real question isn't whether to buy or sell — it's whether the timing is right for your specific situation. Are you a buyer who's been priced out and waiting for rates to drop? Are you a seller wondering if now is the moment to list before fall inventory picks up? Are you thinking about upgrading or downsizing? The market conditions are there; what matters is understanding what they mean for your goals.

Fall farmers markets aren't just about fresh produce — they're where families actually build roots in their neighborhoods. When you're shopping at the Downtown Farmers' Market on Wednesday mornings or catching the Santana Row market on Wednesday evenings, you're not just buying local; you're connecting with neighbors, supporting small businesses, and discovering what makes your community feel like home.

San Jose has year-round farmers markets in nearly every neighborhood — Downtown, Evergreen, Alum Rock, Berryessa, and more — plus seasonal markets running through fall and winter. These aren't anonymous transactions. You see the same farmers, the same families, the same faces week after week. Your kids recognize the vendor who grows the best apples. You learn which neighborhoods have the strongest community hubs. You understand the rhythm of local life. For families deciding where to put down roots, these moments matter more than you'd think. They're the difference between a house and a home.

If you're exploring San Jose neighborhoods or thinking about where your family fits best, let's talk about what community really looks like in different areas — the gathering spaces, the local events, the neighborhoods where families actually connect. That's what I focus on: helping you find where you belong, not just where the market says you should buy.

What makes a neighborhood feel like home? For many San Jose families, it's not just the house—it's the life you can actually live there. Evergreen has become one of the most sought-after family neighborhoods in San Jose, and once you understand what's really happening there, you'll see why.

Evergreen consistently ranks as one of the safest neighborhoods in San Jose according to 2026 crime data, with crime rates significantly lower than the city average. But safety is just the foundation. The neighborhood centers around Evergreen Village Square, a true community hub where families gather for local events, dining, and shopping. Kids walk to parks and libraries. Schools like Evergreen Valley High School anchor the area with strong academics and STEM-focused programs. The East Foothills views create a sense of escape without leaving the city. Multi-generational families choose Evergreen because it offers that rare combination: modern suburban planning, excellent schools, outdoor access, and genuine neighborhood connection.

If you're exploring San Jose neighborhoods and wondering whether Evergreen fits your family's priorities—or if you're curious how it compares to other areas you're considering—let's talk. Every family's "home" looks different, and I want to make sure you find yours.

Volunteering at my kids' school changed how I help families find their neighborhood. You learn fast when you're in the trenches—watching which parents show up, which kids thrive, what makes a community actually work.

Here's what I discovered: families don't just need a good school. They need a neighborhood where that school is the center of something bigger. They need parks where kids actually play after school. They need walkable streets where neighbors know each other. They need a commute that doesn't steal family time. They need to feel safe letting their kids ride bikes or walk to a friend's house. And yes, they need a price that doesn't stretch them so thin they can't enjoy what they're paying for.

When I'm helping families find their neighborhood, I'm not just looking at test scores or square footage. I'm asking: Will your kids actually play outside here? Will you run into neighbors at the park? Can you walk to coffee on a Saturday morning? Is this the kind of place where you'll want to stay for 10 years, not just until the market shifts? That's what school volunteering taught me—the best neighborhoods aren't about prestige. They're about fit.

If you're looking for a neighborhood that matches your family's real priorities—not just the ones that sound good on paper—let's talk. I've spent 27 years in Silicon Valley, and I've learned that getting families to where they want to be starts with understanding what they're really looking for.
