Supply and demand, block by block
How many homes are for sale, how fast they sell, and how many buyers are competing set the tone. These differ by city and neighborhood, so a valley-wide average can mislead you about your actual search.
The cost of borrowing
Financing costs shape what buyers can afford and how aggressive offers get. When rates move, demand shifts, often faster than list prices do.
Season matters
Activity and competition ebb and flow through the year. Timing won’t make or break a good decision, but it’s worth understanding for both buyers and sellers.
Why local beats the headline
