This month we get to look at some of our favorite data from different perspectives. If you follow along with our monthly updates, a limited supply of houses has been a dominant storyline for the last two years (really since coming out of the last recession). If you're looking at a house under $5m in Silicon Valley, all the current inventory would be sold through and replaced in less than a month (2 weeks if you're searching $1.5-2m!) 😳 That is ⚡️ fast.

We often look at sales volume in price point tranches, but this month we're looking at the housing inventory as vintages. Of all the houses sold in the last 12 months in Silicon Valley, 69% of San Mateo Co homes and 68% Santa Clara County homes were built in the 30 years post WWII. Only 9% SMC and 13% SCC homes were built between 1980-1999 (are they called millennial houses?) and an equal percentage break down for homes built since the beginning of this century. 

If any of us had crystal balls, we'd probably be using that power for more than making real estate predictions. But as agents we're constantly evaluating a number of macro-level factors impacting our different markets (I.e single family, condo, luxury estates, etc).
