Your Silicon Valley REALTOR® Market Update
July 2025by Erin Benford


Thinking Ahead: It's Time to Begin a Home Search

Beginning your search now gives you the time to explore neighborhoods, compare options, and position yourself to negotiate from strength when “the one” appears.

Our featured article, “Ready to Buy a Home?,” outlines five smart steps: tighten up your budget and credit, connect early with a trusted lender, team up with a local expert, craft a winning offer, and stay on top of the loan process through closing. These aren’t just best practices—they’re exactly what separates successful buyers from the rest in Silicon Valley’s fast moving market.

In other words, buyers need to be ready to act quickly. Beginning your search now gives you the time to explore neighborhoods, compare options, and position yourself to negotiate from strength when “the one” appears.

Finally, remember that real estate is a team sport. Whether you plan to stay in Silicon Valley or move elsewhere, I’m connected to a network of top agents across North America who share the same relationship driven approach. If a move is on your horizon in 2025, let’s schedule a quick strategy call this month. In our market, “too early” almost always turns into “just in time.”
