South Bay housing is a dumpster fire, everyone jumps in the fire for the FOMO

Not even talking about Los Altos, Cupertino and Saratoga. Areas like west San Jose 95129, Santa Clara 95051, Sunnyvale 94087 selling like hot cakes. It’s going 500K over asking prices and the actual estimate. What’s so special about these areas.

Yes the Peninsula is on fire as well. 700k over ask in 5 days.

Apple Rexxa OP Apr 26

Which parts? I’m assuming MTV due to proximity to Google

Burlingame San Mateo San Carlos Millbrae Foster City

Apple HaddHaiBC Apr 26

Same in Fremont.

Apple Rexxa OP Apr 26

Not so much, South Bay is on different level with 1200 sqft houses going for 2.5M in schools like Moreland district and Santa Clara district

Qualcomm Prof.Chaos Apr 26

The shocking thing is people spending 2.5M to get a lot, then another 500k-1.5M to make it how they want. All to send their kid to public schools 😂

People are fed up of longer commute times with hybrid in place. Going from 0 commute to 1 hour+ is not appealing anymore. So folks want to move to South Bay for shorter 10 min commutes

I think it's the expectation that prices will go waaay higher if interest rates drop.

Amazon tri8Ta Apr 28

rates are not dropping. that is for sure

Apple mrs 😈 Apr 26

It’ll only get worse when rate actually starts declining. Can’t wait forever, so now or never

Amazon tri8Ta Apr 28

not sure about housing but i assure you rates are not dropping

They will inevitably drop. That’s when the real hot market will begin.

Google ducklips Apr 26

The whole South Bay is trash, can’t wait to get out

Oracle JDutton Apr 27

I sold in 2021. Take the money and run. Having lived there since 1984, I watched the decline and it was disgusting

Meta nvdiametas Apr 29

@Oracle: Great for the neighborhood to get rid of you. Once you leave you will never be able to comeback

Why would one pay 500 over in 94087 when Los Altos is next door?

Apple Rexxa OP Apr 26

Because Los Altos starts with 4M 😂

PayPal ab8a4f6b Apr 26

But it’s so much nicer. Also, it’s cheaper per sq ft.

The South Bay has some of the best weather in the world, near some of the best universities on the planet, with some of the best hospitals and longest life expectancies in the US, with great amenities like museums and parks nearby, and regionally, is one of the best areas for food in the country. Oh yeah, and it has the shortest commutes to some of the best, highest paying jobs in the world and is the center of the technological AI revolution that will be one of the greatest developments in human history. I don’t think you understand what the phrase “dumpster fire” means.

Best hospital… 😂. Have u ever visited an energency for a big hand cut etc 😂

PayPal techCog Apr 26

No, I haven’t, because I actually know how the medical system works and where to go for each service.

ex-Dell -)&@1/)$ Apr 26

I think the higher the bay area housing goes up, the higher the interest rates will go up and the higher will be number of layoffs. I know this doesnt make sense but if u look the overall US economy is a big chaos which doesnt make sense too

Tesla m3rulz Apr 29

My balls are not big enough to buy a house right now. As soon as I do, prices will crash and I'll get laid off 😂 I'm happy saving and investing. Might even FIRE in a LCOL before I buy a house here.

LinkedIn xijin ping Apr 26

You kidding? West San Jose 95129 is more popular than Cupertino. They got Lynbrook

Apple Rexxa OP Apr 26

I'm talking about non-Lynbrook areas which falls under Morland district

LinkedIn xijin ping Apr 26

That area should not be hot. They gonna build Costco nearby no body would want live close by
