Santa Clara Buyers: Why NOW Might Be Your Best Window

Santa Clara County buyers are confused right now—and honestly, I get it. Inventory is up, the market is more balanced, but uncertainty from world headlines, tax season, and travel has many buyers hitting pause.

That hesitation could be your opportunity. Smart buyers may have more room to negotiate, more homes to choose from, and less competition before confidence returns.

In this breakdown, I cover:

✔️ Current Santa Clara market numbers
✔️ Why waiting until 2027 may backfire
✔️ 2 strategies buyers can use right now to win

If you’re thinking about buying in Silicon Valley, this is the update you need.

Keith Walker — here to educate and navigate, not speculate and fabricate.

The Part of Real Estate You Don’t See on Zillow

The friendships.
The referrals.
The clients you still talk to years later.
The families you get to watch move into their next chapter.

Last month was a celebration of exactly that. by @thekeithwalkerteam

They lost out on one home but the next opportunity turned out to be an even better fit. 🏡

📍 6067 Dimm Way, Richmond, CA

Our buyers had very specific needs and were coming off the disappointment of missing out on another property.

This time, they were up against 8 offers.

Our strategy:

• Strong, clean, non-contingent offer
• Competitive pricing
• Close communication with the listing agent
• A strong agent-to-agent relationship throughout the process

The result? They got the home.

And even better — it gave them more of what they were looking for:

✨ Beautiful views
✨ A large backyard
✨ A winery within walking distance

Sometimes the home you miss out on makes room for the one that fits even better.

Same square footage. Same neighborhood. Different value.

Condition, lot, and street don’t appear in a price-per-square-foot calculation — but they show up in every offer a seller receives.

Swipe for the comparison. DM “VALUE” for a real analysis on yours. taken in California USA by @thekeithwalkerteam

From above, the scale says it all. 📍

33 Church Street sits on approximately 16,650 square feet of R3-1 multifamily-zoned land in the heart of Mountain View, a rare footprint in one of Silicon Valley’s most connected neighborhoods.

Today, it’s home to five living spaces: a 3-bedroom main residence plus four separate 1-bedroom casitas. Tomorrow, it’s whatever the right buyer envisions.

Retain it as it stands. Enhance what’s already here. Or explore what the land and zoning could allow next.

All just moments from Downtown and Castro Street, Caltrain and VTA, parks and trails, major commute routes, and Silicon Valley’s top employers.

For the investor, builder, or buyer with vision, this is one worth a closer look.

That early window is when the most eyes are on your listing. Overprice it, use bad photos, or list before it’s actually ready, and you burn your best shot. After that, buyers start wondering what’s wrong with it, and you end up chasing the price down instead of getting ahead of it.

Number 10 gets people too. If an agent tells you a number that sounds too good, ask them to back it up with comps. The highest suggested price isn’t worth much if the house sits.

And number 7, I’ve watched sellers turn down a solid offer over the sticker price without ever running the actual net. Sometimes the “lower” offer puts more in your pocket.

Which one have you seen happen? Tell me in the comments.

Financial readiness for a move-up purchase is about more than qualifying for a larger mortgage.

It can include your current home equity, the monthly payment you are comfortable with, cash reserves you want to keep, anticipated property taxes and insurance, maintenance costs, and how the timing of your current sale could affect the next purchase.

Every household will weigh those factors differently. The goal is to understand the tradeoffs before making a decision.

If you are considering a move-up purchase and want to review the full picture, comment “MOVE UP.”

If I were selling my own home, I’d be just as strategic about how I listed it as I would be about the price.
•••
I’d want the home ready before it hits the market, professional photos, easy showings, and a pricing strategy based on real market data-not wishful thinking.
And I definitely wouldn’t choose an agent simply because they promised me the highest listing price.
The goal isn’t to get the highest number on the listing agreement.
It’s to create the right strategy to attract qualified buyers, negotiate well, and ultimately walk away with the best possible net.
If you’re thinking about selling in Chandler or the East Valley, let’s talk strategy before you put the sign in the yard.
