The Glory of Silicon Valley Real Estate

Silicon Valley. The famed southern part of the San Francisco Bay area that has become known to all as the high-tech capital of the United States (and possibly the world). Silicon Valley is home to the city of San Jose, the southern Peninsula, the Southern East Bay, and all of the Santa Clara Valley.

You know Silicon Valley for its venture capitalism, dot-com bubble, and prestigious Universities (Stanford, University of California, Carnegie Mellon), but do you know Silicon Valley for its real estate, beautiful homes, and picture-perfect neighborhoods? If not, here is a little introduction to one of Silicon Valley's best areas, Mountain View Real Estate...

Mountain View sits at 12 square miles and is home to just under 74,000 residents. One of its most admirable qualities would have to be the lush orchards and vineyards that have stood the test of time through the high-tech revolution. It remained a primarily agricultural town all the way through the 60's, and even when it did transition along with the rest of Silicon Valley, it kept its natural beauty.

It is no surprise that this already attractive town slowly gained California real estate value as it added neighborhood parks and playgrounds, recreational facilities, a top notch education system, and shopping facilities throughout the years. Today, Mountain View real estate is a highly sought after commodity. The icing on the cake is when it earned the AAA credit rating, recognizing it for its diversified tax base, strong financial operation and a low debt burden (an honor afforded to only two other cities in California).

Ever the stable community, Mountain View was able to hold its own through the housing market ride over the past few years. It has shown the most stable market compared to other Silicon Valley neighborhoods. Its median sales price was able to go up instead of down during the 2009 market slide, and even now has been able to safely sit at $900,000 for single-family homes.

Natural beauty. A good education system. Affordable housing. A stable economy. What's not to love?

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. That said, in my experience as a real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs. This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients. So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Silicon Valley, please contact me.

Silicon Valley is in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California. Typically considered to be comprised of several counties; San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda and Santa Cruz. The region is home to many of the world's largest technology corporations., such as Yahoo, Google, Apple, eBay, Cisco, etc. The term originally referred to the region's large number of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers, but eventually came to refer to all the high-tech businesses in the area; it is now generally used as a metonym for the American high-tech sector. Despite the development of other high-tech economic centers throughout the United States and the world, Silicon Valley continues to be the leading hub for high-tech innovation and development, accounting for one third of all the venture capital investment in the United States. Geographically, the Silicon Valley encompasses all of the Santa Clara Valley including the city of San Jose (and adjacent communities), the southern Peninsula, and the southern East Bay. This includes cities such as Mountain View, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Fremont, San Mateo, San Carlos and many more!
