Feb 2023 Update on the Silicon Valley Real Estate Market

Latest stats on the Bay Area real estate market.

The Take-Away:Year-over-year prices have adjusted: prices have fallen about 15% from the highs of the market in April 2022, and then started to go back up a bit: prices have stopped falling and are now quite well sustained as a whole.  However the picture is different locally depending on how desirable the location is, or the size of the home - since the pandemy larger homes are more desirable.  The premium locations continue to draw multiple offers and experience an active market.  Good pricing is as always key to a good sale.

Americans Misinformed on The Housing Market

 Source: The Hill

Americans who are planning to purchase a home in 2023 are woefully misinformed about the nation’s mercurial housing market, even as millions of them prepare to buy homes, according to a survey by NerdWallet. On average, they hope to spend $269,200, which falls more than $100,000 short of the median home price, which was $388,100 in December, according to the real estate brokerage Redfin. Home prices crossed the $269,000 threshold sometime in 2013, Federal Reserve statistics show. 


Two-thirds of those surveyed said they expect an imminent crash, however, real estate economists do not. Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, forecast an average sale price of $385,800 this year, about the same as last year. Redfin predicts a 4 percent drop: bad news for sellers, but hardly a crash.

About 1/3 of US Home Purchases Were Paid in Cash

 About one-third of U.S. home purchases were paid in cash.

Nearly one-third (31.9%) of U.S. home purchases were paid for with all cash in October, according to a report from Redfin. That’s up from 29.9% a year earlier and the highest share since 2014.

All-cash home purchases increased in 29 of the 39 metros in Redfin’s analysis from October 2021 to October 2022. They increased most in Riverside, Calif., where they rose to 38% of all home sales from 19.2%. The lowest share of all-cash purchases was in the West coast market, especially in the Bay Area of California. Just 14.3% of home purchases in San Jose and 16.5% in Oakland were paid in cash.
