As we move through the late summer real estate season, many homeowners are wondering whether now is still a good time to sell.
The answer depends on several factors, including pricing, preparation, and understanding the condition of your home before it reaches the market.
đMarket Highlights
- Mortgage rates remain relatively steady, giving buyers more predictability as they plan their purchase.
- Proper home pricing continues to be the key to attracting serious buyers and avoiding extended days on market.
- Termite inspections remain one of the most valuable disclosures for both buyers and sellers.
- Several new listings are coming soon in Milpitas and San Jose, providing fresh opportunities in the local market.
- As summer winds down and school begins, the late summer market remains an excellent time to buy or sell.

Milpitas Real Estate Update: Why Every Homeowner Needs a Termite Inspection
As we move through the late summer real estate season, many homeowners are wondering whether now is still a good time to sell. The answer depends on several factors, including pricing, preparation, and understanding the condition of your home before it reaches the market.
This week I’d like to discuss an often-overlooked subject that can significantly impact a home sale: the termite inspection. I’ll also provide a quick mortgage rate update and preview several exciting listings coming soon throughout Milpitas and San Jose.
Mortgage Rates Continue to Stabilize
Current mortgage rates remain fairly consistent, providing buyers with more confidence as they plan their home purchase.
While rates continue to fluctuate based on inflation, oil prices, the stock market, and global events, many buyers are adjusting to today’s financing environment and continuing their home search.
Although no one can predict future movement, stable rates are encouraging steady buyer activity throughout Silicon Valley.
Why Every Seller Should Understand Their Termite Report
One of the first reports I recommend when preparing a home for sale is the termite inspection.
Many homeowners are surprised to learn that termite reports identify much more than active termites.
Section One typically includes issues requiring treatment, such as drywood termites, subterranean termites, fungus, and dry rot. These findings help buyers understand the property’s current condition.
Section Two highlights conditions that could contribute to future problems, including moisture or drainage concerns that should be monitored.
Rather than completing every repair before listing, many sellers today choose to disclose the report and allow buyers to determine how they would like to address future maintenance.
Pricing Is Still the Biggest Factor
The market continues to reward homes that are priced correctly from the beginning.
Overpriced homes often remain on the market longer, and extended market time can reduce buyer interest and ultimately affect final sale price.
A recent example was my listing on Big Bend Drive. After two strategic price adjustments, we secured a cash buyer and successfully closed within 28 days.
Today’s market continues to reward realistic pricing combined with professional marketing.
Coming Soon in Milpitas and San Jose
Several exciting homes will soon be available.
The upcoming Hostetter Road property in San Jose features an upgraded kitchen, beautiful backyard, downstairs primary suite, and a unique twilight tour designed to showcase the outdoor living space.
Milpitas buyers should also keep an eye on Tahoe Drive in the desirable Parktown neighborhood near Sinnott Elementary School. This updated home offers an outstanding location that continues to attract strong buyer interest.
Another opportunity is coming soon on Everglades Drive, offering buyers a chance to customize and renovate a well-located Parktown home.

đ¨Worried Your Home Will Sit?
It comes down to 3 things…
The hardest home to sell is the overpriced one.
Sellers who overprice aren’t trying to rip anyone off. They’re nervous about leaving money on the table, so they price high, build in room to negotiate, and tell themselves they’re protected.
That fear backfires every time.
Overpricing doesn’t create leverage, it creates a stale listing.
Serious buyers skip it. The home sits. And once it sits, buyers assume something is wrong (even when nothing is).
Then comes the price cut. And here’s what most sellers don’t realize: that cut doesn’t just cost you dollars. It signals to every buyer still watching that you’re ready to deal. That’s when the lowball offers start.
The sellers who protect their equity aren’t the ones who priced highest. They’re the ones who priced to create competition.
P.S. Every month I pull the close data for our market – what homes actually sold for, not what they listed at. If you’re keeping an eye on this market and thinking ahead, reply with your address and Iâll send you a current value estimate (no obligation or cost).

Testimonials
I highly recommend her as your realtor for her expertise and just for being a very nice person to work with.

We would like to express our sincerest appreciation for Debbie Giordano for her quick action on selling our house. We sincerely believe she is the best real estate broker covering the southern San Francisco Bay Area.
We currently live in Arizona and was definitely not looking forward to spending several weeks in the bay area while we fixed up our Milpitas property to sell. We have had renters in our house for the past six years.
Debbie not only took the reins on this effort, she charged full force straight into the thick of things. She managed to arrange the repairs in one week. She also staged the property and put it on the market. The house never looked good in the 35 plus years in which we lived in the house. Due to her valiant efforts, the house sold in just one week, and we received what were hoping to get out of the house.
Thank you, Debbie for all you did for us. It is truly remarkable that you pulled a rabbit out of the hat. Your efforts surpassed our greatest expectations.
Thank you again.
Steven & Charleen Stoner

Thank you Debbie.
Even though you have taken the reigns on our MiIpitas house, and are driving forward with this; I just want to make it official that Charleen and I would like you to be our realtor for our Milpitas house until it is sold. We appreciate everything you have done thus far. Charleen and I were really comfortable with talking to you when you came out to our house and we look forward to a prosperous conclusion for the both of us. We will work with Melissa to get the documents signed.

My brother and I knew that selling our family home with Debbie was going to give us the best experience possible. But what neither of us realized was how incredibly cutting edge she is about the Milpitas market, how networked and how committed she is to her clients. She stood by us and was alongside us every step of the way. Her passion and compassion are stellar. It is safe to say that neither of us have enjoyed going through the home sale process, but Debbie made it seamless and we will always be grateful to her and her great team for their amazing professionalism and care.
Thank you Debbie for all that you do!

We were impressed with Debbieâs familiarity of Milpitas from our very first meeting. Her knowledge of the local housing market and our neighborhood including schools and businesses made us feel very comfortable. She is on top of an everchanging market.
Debbie toured our home and gave us an honest assessment; she advised us on updating a few things that will make our home stand out from the others. She has a very good team of subcontractors to help with any upgrades or repairs that are needed. These subs are very respectful, on time and do quality work.
During this process, communication with Debbie and her team was outstanding. They kept us informed every step of the way.
Debbie has a staging team that transformed our home to maximize its appeal to buyers. This process was flawless and really showcased the home.
Working with Debbie was truly a positive experience. She worked very hard at keeping everything organized and on schedule.
We highly recommend Debbie. Her expertise, dedication and professionalism made the sale of our home enjoyable and successful.

What Our Clients Say
Debbie assisted us in selling our family home several years ago and we were so impressed with her dedication, expertise, and friendly approach, we contacted her again when we interested in purchasing a property.
This time around was no different, Debbieâs communication was prompt and effective, keeping us informed every step of the way. She was always available to answer our questions and provided regular updates throughout the process. When unexpected issues arose during the buying process, Debbieâs problem-solving expertise shone through. She quickly found solutions making the closing process easier and less stressful for us.
We highly recommend Debbie to help with all of your home buying and/or selling needs!

Selling your home successfully involves much more than putting a sign in the yard.
Today’s buyers begin their search online, making first impressions long before they ever walk through the front door.
One of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing an agent with a comprehensive marketing plan designed to maximize exposure and attract qualified buyers.
đMarket Highlights
- Mortgage rates remain relatively stable, with 30-year fixed conforming loans at approximately 6.875%.
- California continues to show economic strength, ranking second in overall economic growth while maintaining a strong business climate.
- Several new Milpitas listings are coming soon, giving buyers additional opportunities this fall.
- Professional marketing, staging, and strategic pricing remain the keys to attracting strong offers.
- A beautifully remodeled new listing in San Jose’s Piedmont Hills area will be coming to market soon.
Real Estate in Milpitas
Selling Your Home Starts with the Right Marketing Strategy
If you’re thinking about selling your home, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing an agent with a proven marketing plan.
A recent article in the Milpitas Post highlighted that once you’ve made the decision to sell, success depends on creating a coordinated marketing strategy that reaches the largest possible pool of qualified buyers.
At Master Brokers, that’s exactly where we begin.
Every home I market receives broad exposure through my weekly market update, which reaches nearly 1,000 local subscribers, along with placement on major real estate websites such as Zillow and Redfin where many buyers begin their home search.
Today’s buyers expect more than just photos. Professional photography, 3D tours, online analytics, and digital marketing are all essential tools that help your property stand out.
First Impressions Matter
Preparing a home before it hits the market continues to make a tremendous difference.
That begins with curb appeal. Whether it’s refreshing landscaping, improving the front yard, or completing small repairs, buyers begin forming opinions before they even walk through the front door.
Professional staging is another important part of the process. In most cases, I stage every listing because it helps buyers envision themselves living in the home and consistently produces stronger interest.
Technology has also changed how homes are sold.
One of my recent sales on Big Bend Drive involved an all-cash buyer from Southern California who first toured the home through a FaceTime walkthrough before purchasing it. Today’s marketing reaches buyers far beyond our local area.
Pricing Your Home Correctly
Pricing remains one of the most important decisions in any sale.
A home that is priced appropriately from the beginning typically receives the strongest buyer interest. If adjustments become necessary, making them early often keeps momentum moving rather than allowing a listing to sit on the market for weeks.
The goal is always to position a home competitively so it attracts serious buyers while maximizing value for the seller.
Interest Rate Update
Here are this week’s mortgage rates:
- 30-Year Fixed Conforming: 6.875%
- 15-Year Fixed Conforming: 6.375%
- 30-Year Fixed Jumbo: 6.75%
- 15-Year Fixed Jumbo: 6.375%
While rates have moved slightly, buyers continue to adapt to today’s financing environment. Well-priced homes continue to attract qualified buyers throughout the Silicon Valley market.
California’s Economy Continues to Support Housing
There has been plenty of discussion recently about businesses leaving California, but recent reports paint a much more balanced picture.
According to recent articles highlighted in the San Jose Mercury News, California ranks 15th nationally for business climate while remaining second in overall economic growth.
Those strong economic fundamentals continue to support housing demand throughout Silicon Valley and help explain why home values have remained resilient.
Despite higher mortgage rates than we experienced a few years ago, buyers continue purchasing homes because California remains one of the nation’s strongest economic regions.
Coming Soon in Milpitas and San Jose
Several exciting homes are expected to come on the market over the next few months.

đ¨Worried Your Home Will Sit?
It comes down to 3 things…
You probably see some homes selling in a weekend, and others sit for months.
It could be the same street, same conditionsâŚso whatâs really required to get a home from listed to sold?
1) Price. Priced right, a home sells. Priced high to “leave room to negotiate,” it sits, and the homes that sit almost always close for less than the ones priced right on day one.
2) Presentation. Nearly half of homesellers are underwhelmed by how their agent marketed their home (1000Watt). Photos and video carry a lot of weight in this market.
3) Placement. Getting it listed isn’t the job. Knowing who the buyer is, and having a strategy to put the home in front of them before it’s even public – thatâs a sign of a great agent.
Donât look to the average Days on Market to tell you how long your home will sit.
Instead, get these three things right and your home will move.
P.S. The market is soft enough to negotiate and fast enough to punish slow decisions. If youâre trying to buy/sell before the fall, reply to this email and letâs talk.

We would like to express our sincerest appreciation for Debbie Giordano for her quick action on selling our house. We sincerely believe she is the best real estate broker covering the southern San Francisco Bay Area.
We currently live in Arizona and was definitely not looking forward to spending several weeks in the bay area while we fixed up our Milpitas property to sell. We have had renters in our house for the past six years.
Debbie not only took the reins on this effort, she charged full force straight into the thick of things. She managed to arrange the repairs in one week. She also staged the property and put it on the market. The house never looked good in the 35 plus years in which we lived in the house. Due to her valiant efforts, the house sold in just one week, and we received what were hoping to get out of the house.
Thank you, Debbie for all you did for us. It is truly remarkable that you pulled a rabbit out of the hat. Your efforts surpassed our greatest expectations.
Thank you again.

Thank you Debbie.
Even though you have taken the reigns on our MiIpitas house, and are driving forward with this; I just want to make it official that Charleen and I would like you to be our realtor for our Milpitas house until it is sold. We appreciate everything you have done thus far. Charleen and I were really comfortable with talking to you when you came out to our house and we look forward to a prosperous conclusion for the both of us. We will work with Melissa to get the documents signed.

My brother and I knew that selling our family home with Debbie was going to give us the best experience possible. But what neither of us realized was how incredibly cutting edge she is about the Milpitas market, how networked and how committed she is to her clients. She stood by us and was alongside us every step of the way. Her passion and compassion are stellar. It is safe to say that neither of us have enjoyed going through the home sale process, but Debbie made it seamless and we will always be grateful to her and her great team for their amazing professionalism and care.
Thank you Debbie for all that you do!

We were impressed with Debbieâs familiarity of Milpitas from our very first meeting. Her knowledge of the local housing market and our neighborhood including schools and businesses made us feel very comfortable. She is on top of an everchanging market.
Debbie toured our home and gave us an honest assessment; she advised us on updating a few things that will make our home stand out from the others. She has a very good team of subcontractors to help with any upgrades or repairs that are needed. These subs are very respectful, on time and do quality work.
During this process, communication with Debbie and her team was outstanding. They kept us informed every step of the way.
Debbie has a staging team that transformed our home to maximize its appeal to buyers. This process was flawless and really showcased the home.
Working with Debbie was truly a positive experience. She worked very hard at keeping everything organized and on schedule.
We highly recommend Debbie. Her expertise, dedication and professionalism made the sale of our home enjoyable and successful.

Thank You Debbie

The answer isn’t determined by market averages alone.
In my experience helping Milpitas homeowners, homes that sell quickly usually have three important things in common:
the right price, outstanding presentation, and a thoughtful marketing strategy.
đMarket Highlights
- Well-priced homes continue to attract serious buyers and can sell before an open house.
- Professional marketing and strategic exposure remain essential for today’s online buyers.
- Jumbo mortgage rates continue to provide financing options for many Milpitas buyers.
- Buyer demand remains strong for well-prepared homes in desirable neighborhoods.
- New opportunities are coming soon in Parktown for both move-in-ready buyers and remodel enthusiasts.
Real Estate in Milpitas
If you’re preparing to sell your home, one of the biggest questions you probably have is, “How long will my home stay on the market?”
The answer isn’t determined by market averages alone. In my experience helping Milpitas homeowners, homes that sell quickly usually have three important things in common: the right price, outstanding presentation, and a thoughtful marketing strategy.
Price It Right From Day One
One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is intentionally pricing above market value to leave room for negotiations.
While that may seem like a smart strategy, today’s buyers are well-informed. Overpriced homes often receive fewer showings, spend more time on the market, and eventually sell for less than homes priced correctly from the start.
The first few weeks are often when your home receives the most attention, making pricing especially important.
Presentation Matters More Than Ever
Most buyers begin their home search online, which means your home’s first showing happens through photos and video.
Professional photography, virtual tours, excellent lighting, and thoughtful staging help buyers picture themselves living in the home before they ever schedule a showing.
Strong presentation creates stronger first impressions and often leads to more competitive offers.
Placement Is More Than Just Listing
Marketing a home involves much more than putting it on the MLS.
An effective marketing plan identifies the right buyers and builds excitement before the property is widely available. Strategic promotion can generate early interest and help sellers achieve stronger results.
Local Mortgage Rate Update
Many Milpitas buyers finance their purchases with jumbo loans because of local home values.
Current jumbo rates include:
- 7/6 ARM: 5.375%
- 10/6 ARM: 5.875%
- 30-Year Fixed: 6.25%
These financing options continue to support qualified buyers in today’s market.
Recent Milpitas Market Activity
I’m excited to report that 1865 Big Bend Drive is now under contract after receiving an all-cash offer before the scheduled open house. After a strategic price adjustment, the property secured a contract at $1,490,000, demonstrating the value of pricing appropriately.
Another successful transaction, 453 Taylor Drive, is expected to close at $1,650,000 after buyers completed financing. The home also attracted a backup buyer, reflecting continued demand for desirable Milpitas properties.
Coming Soon
Two additional opportunities will soon be available:
1750 Tahoe Drive
A beautifully maintained four-bedroom, two-bath home in Parktown featuring separate living and family rooms, heated bathroom floors, and a location near Sinnott Elementary School.
1662 Everglades Drive
An excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a complete remodel in a desirable Parktown location near Sinnott Elementary School. Offered at $1,198,888, this property provides outstanding potential to create a customized home.
Debbie’s Final Thoughts
Every home is unique, and successful sales don’t happen by accident. They result from thoughtful pricing, exceptional presentation, and a marketing strategy tailored to today’s buyers.
If you’re considering buying or selling in Milpitas, I’d be happy to discuss your goals and help you understand today’s market so you can make informed decisions.
I look forward to sharing another Milpitas Market Update with you next week.

đ¨Worried Your Home Will Sit?
It comes down to 3 things…
You probably see some homes selling in a weekend, and others sit for months.
It could be the same street, same conditionsâŚso whatâs really required to get a home from listed to sold?
1) Price. Priced right, a home sells. Priced high to “leave room to negotiate,” it sits, and the homes that sit almost always close for less than the ones priced right on day one.
2) Presentation. Nearly half of homesellers are underwhelmed by how their agent marketed their home (1000Watt). Photos and video carry a lot of weight in this market.
3) Placement. Getting it listed isn’t the job. Knowing who the buyer is, and having a strategy to put the home in front of them before it’s even public – thatâs a sign of a great agent.
Donât look to the average Days on Market to tell you how long your home will sit.
Instead, get these three things right and your home will move.
P.S. The market is soft enough to negotiate and fast enough to punish slow decisions. If youâre trying to buy/sell before the fall, reply to this email and letâs talk.
