The home on Belvale had 6 or 7 offers – I know because I placed one of the bids on it for my buyers!  There were also multiple offers on the Bacigalupi house as well.  Both are said to have sold over list price.   Most homes are selling pretty fast now, and at very good prices.

The real estate market across Silicon Valley has really zoomed into a strong seller’s market over the last 3 to 4 weeks.  I have been involved with MANY offers, both on the seller side and the buyer side, and almost every single one was a multiple offer situation with sales getting pushed much higher than list price. (This last Monday, for example, I sold a small Santa Clara condo that was not strategically underpriced but it got 20 offers, 8 of them “all cash” and sold about 8% over list price.  This is happening all over.)
