Your Silicon Valley REALTOR® Market Update
November 2024by Erin Benford


Selling in 2025? Start working on your property NOW. What needs to be done? Do you just want to sell and walk away with no work? Or, do you want to repair, remodel, spruce up a bit, and wow the buyers?

There’s a difference in the buyers’ perception of your property, and the money you will receive for it from them, depending on what they consider to be of value. Other things go into this decision, such as do you have to get out of a property right away, or is there time to wait?

The second consideration is market timing. There are really no perfect “market times” in real estate. Some years the spring is a great time to sell. Other years, the spring is very quiet for real estate. August used to be a great time to take a vacation, as a Realtor, but I have experienced quite a bit of market activity in August lately.

The big question right now is whether to put your property on the market during the holiday period. This depends…. As a seller, you will have fewer properties to compete with, while other sellers will be holding off. When I was a young teacher, the holidays were a great time to buy our first condo, during the school vacation. Serious buyers still shop during the holidays.
