About the Valley of Heart’s Delight

“The Valley of Heart’s Delight” was the way in which Santa Clara County, home to San Jose and now Silicon Valley, was once described.  For those of us who grew up climbing trees in the orchards, and who grow a few fruit trees in their own yards, it still is the Valley of Heart’s Delight.  This valley was once famous for wheat, later for grapevines, citrus, nuts, cherry trees, and fruits of all kinds. Hints of the valley’s past are everywhere to be found.

On this website, we will focus on Los Gatos and nearby areas such as Saratoga, Campbell, Monte Sereno, Cupertino, the San Jose areas of Almaden, Cambrian, and Willow Glen, and adjacent communities throughout Santa Clara County.

The Valley of Heart’s Delight Blog – latest posts

• Almaden Valley Real Estate Market Conditions - The Almaden Valley real estate market is a mild or slight seller's market, with most homes enjoying 2 - 3 months of inventory. The luxury tier is selling with about 6 months of inventory, making it a buyer's market now.
• Morgan Hill real estate market - How's the housing market in Morgan Hill? For the single family home segment in this "south county" town, prices are rising year over year and heating up with the season since last month. The sale price to list price ratio has been hovering between 98% and 100% for months. The cities of Morgan Hill and Gilroy are usually a bit less in demand than parts of Santa Clara County which are either tech magnets or closer to these big businesses. So while most of the Silicon Valley has a sale price to list price ratio of anywhere from 100% to 110%, it's generally lower here, making the home buying conditions calmer for weary buyers, though still a sellers market.
• The Cambrian Park Real Estate Market Update - My Cambrian area of San Jose Real Estate Report was recently published with the updated numbers from the closed sales last month for this part of San Jose (95124 and 95118 with a little of 95008 too). Please click on the link above to see much more information there. In this district of San Jose, we have been experiencing dreadfully low inventory of homes for sale, and buyers aren't backing off as much as usual for this time of year - I believe because there is just a whole lot of pent up demand from nearly two years of a deep seller's market. Year over year stats tells us sales are up. What does that mean? Sellers, if you have a problem home, or one not updated or well maintained, this is the time to sell it - buyers have little to choose from so are purchasing properties that need more work than they would bother with in a more balanced market.
• Saratoga CA Real Estate Market Update - This is a fairly comprehensive article on the Saratoga real estate market that will include the live statistics from Altos Research for listed properties (not closed) in Saratoga CA 95070, the closed sale data from the RE Report for last month in Saratoga 95070, and the numbers I crunched for Saratoga - overall and by price point and high school district, since Saratoga has 3 different high school districts, each with an impact on home values.
• Los Gatos Real Estate Market Trends - The Los Gatos real estate market is varied from one price point or school district to the next, but over all, this is a fairly stable period and properties continue to sell at an average of over 100% of the list price. Here are the current numbers, per my Los Gatos real estate report (click on the link for full information). The Los Gatos Mountains are a distinctly different market and as such are covered in a separate market update, updated less frequently than here, which shows live Altos charts for that area.
• Updating the Campbell Real Estate Market - How is the Campbell real estate market? Here are the numbers, but what do those numbers mean? The sales vs list price remains over 100% though it has dropped some in the last months, and while the average days on market has increased it remains under a month. This indicates that Campbell is still in a strong seller's market, despite a growing inventory. Further down in this article, we'll utilize the graphs from Altos Research, which uses list prices, and check out the trends in pricing by quartile in this zip code (meaning 4 groups based on the pricing tier from least to most expensive). Campbell condominiums and townhomes will be considered as well. And finally, a list of homes for sale in Campbell will be found at the bottom of the post.
• Milpitas real estate market - The Milpitas real estate market is clearly cooling out of a record breaking seller’s market. Altos Research has called it a strong seller’s market for many months now, and that remains the case today, although it’s nowhere near what it was in spring. Here are a few more points from the latest update to the […]
