Price Seasonality - Los Altos vs Santa Clara County

 Seasonality of median prices for single family homes shows well in those two graphs, one for the County as a whole, the other for the specific city of Los Altos.

A value for a month usually corresponds statistically to the sales price of the previous month's transactions.  For instance a value for January would typically correspond to the aggregate sales started in December.

Of course, as all statistics, one has to take them with a grain of salt.  Some large single sales can skew the figures quite a bit, and the smaller the sample is, the less they are meaningful.

 Palo Alto moving forward with short-term housing project for homeless near Baylands

The site is modeled on a similar transitional housing project in Mountain View.


PALO ALTO — A new project to quickly house the city’s homeless residents is edging closer to reality after the city council agreed to explore a non-profit developer’s plan to build a temporary housing complex near the Baylands.

Mountain View-based non-profit temporary housing developer LifeMoves wants to use over an acre of the 14.4-acre site to build up to a 180-room complex with on-site nurses, community classrooms, and communal dining and restroom areas to get people off the city’s streets.
