🏡 Why Fall Is the Perfect Time to Sell and Buy in Milpitas 🍁 Master Broker Debbie Giordano Insights

Milpitas Real Estate | Best Realtor in Milpitas

Debbie Giordano –

I’m Debbie Indihar Giordano of Master Brokers. Welcome to my weekly update October 20th.

Hello, everyone. I’m Debbie Indihar Giordano of Master Brokers.

Welcome to my weekly update.

We’re well into fall. As you know, we’ve had some rainy weather. It’s maybe going to rain next following week, but stay tuned for a report on that. It certainly is not stopping the buyers from buying homes, so I’ll share with you. I was able to put 522 South 22nd Street in San Jose in contract, and I’ll share those good details with you toward the end of the video. But let’s talk about what interest rates are doing.

And before I get into interest rates, the stock market today, this is Monday, took a big increase, just a huge upward. That’s going to play into these open houses that I’ve got coming up. 

Milpitas Post Real Estate Section | Cooler Market Conditions Make Ideal Fall Buying

Let me share with you a great article that was in the Milpitas Post. You know, I live in Milpitas, and of course that’s where my business is, and I get the Friday newspaper. Of course, I advertise in that, get a lot of business from that. But they always have a nice real estate section, and I like to share with you what comes out of that.

So in their real estate report, they said, why cooler market conditions make fall ideal for home buying? So they’re looking at home buying more into a seasonal aspect. I’m looking at more as an economic-driven aspect, which dovetails off of the stock market activity. But this is what they say.

While spring and summer traditionally garter the title of peak home buying seasons, current data suggests that savvy shoppers know fall can offer great opportunities. Based on seasonal patterns and data spanning 2018 through 2025, the week of October 12, 2025 specifically, is anticipated to offer prime advantages for house hunters.

One advantage is the reduced pace of transactions. So the number of transactions are down. Today we have 21 listings for sale in the city of Milpitas. That’s typically up around 40 in the peak season, so there’s not as much for buyers to choose from. But there are fewer buyers, and they talk about those buyers are savvy being able to buy now. So buyers don’t have to move quite as quickly as they do in the peak season, summer and spring. The fall market also offers tangible financial incentives. Historically, national listing prices dip between early October and mid-month, averaging about 3.4%. So it says even though fall brings fewer buyers, the most desirable homes can still generate fierce competition and move-in properties may sell quickly.

Interest Rates

We’re not seeing them come down. Predictions are that they were going to drop. Not really sure whether that’s going to happen or not, so we’ll kind of keep an eye on what they’re doing.

📈30 year fixed conforming 6.490%

📈 15 year fixed conforming 5.425%

📈15 year fixed jumbo 5.875%

📈30 year fixed jumbo 6.25%

Your credit score will determine what your final interest rate is. So if you talk to your lender or if you send me an email, I’d be happy to refer you a very reputable lender that I work with.

Pricing  Your Home: So where are we at with pricing? So we’ve had kind of an up and down movement this year. As you know, the real estate market took the wind out of the sails of it right around April of this year when Trump announced the tariffs. We had a huge drop in the stock market. And the stocks are what drives our real estate market here.

If you’re trying to figure out when is a good time for you to put your home on the market, we can discuss those variables and see when the best approach might be.

I’ll talk about some listings, exciting new inventory I have coming up.

Thank you for the kind words:

We were impressed with Debbie’s 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

Lawn and Brown Spots | Restoring Your Lawn and How to Diagnose and Treat Brown Spots. You know, one of the things that I try and impress upon sellers is curb appeal. That’s very important, particularly when a buyer drives up to a home.

They like to see green grass. So if your grass is brown, you need to bring it back. I’ve had lots of folks do lawn restoration on the home on El Camino Higuera that I had this weekend.

We actually put brand new sod in the front and the back. And it really is an added bonus and a special amenity to many buyers as they come into the home. So the article went on to talk about fungus that affects poor lawn care, bug infestation, heat and low moisture.

You know, we’re in an area that’s, we’re particularly in an arid region. So you have to keep your water on a lot on your lawns. Overwatering though can be a problem and saturate it.

So the article, if you want to send me an email, I’d love to send you this article about your lawn. You can email me at giordanoDJ@AOL.com and I’ll provide that for you.

📌 Open Houses in Milpitas with Debbie Giordano

📌 IN CONTRACT – Town House listing at 522 South 22nd Street in San Jose End Unit Former Model Home! with Skyline Views 4 bedroom 3 1/2 bath built in 2014 was a model home! NOW $1,050,000. We had three weekends of open house. That’s generally when I revisit the price on a property to see what’s going on, convince the sellers to bring it down to $1,050,000, make it a sizable price reduction. I don’t like a small one like $20,000 or so. I want to make it significant. And it certainly brought in the buyer. He had seen it on the open house and made the offer a little bit below list price of $1,050,000. The seller countered at full price, $1,050,000, and we went into contract with that. So pricing is very important in this market. So excited about that.

Testimonials

​

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!

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, Debbie’s 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, Debbie’s 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!
