Real Estate in Milpitas
Here’s a look at what’s happening this week in Milpitas and the surrounding Silicon Valley market.
Should You Consider Selling Your Milpitas Home This Summer?
Hello, this is Debbie Indihar Giordano with Master Brokers.
One of the questions I’m hearing most often right now is whether homeowners should consider selling during the summer months. While many people assume real estate slows down because of vacations and travel schedules, that’s not what we’re seeing in Milpitas.
The local market continues to show impressive strength, and many homeowners are taking advantage of rising values and strong buyer demand.
Milpitas Market Activity Remains Strong
The latest market data shows that the average days on market in Milpitas is currently just 13 days.
That means buyers are still actively searching and moving quickly when the right home becomes available.
Several factors continue to support local demand:
- Limited housing supply relative to buyer demand
- Strong Silicon Valley employment fundamentals
- Stable homeowner equity positions
- Continued interest from first-time and move-up buyers
When homes are properly prepared, strategically priced, and professionally marketed, buyers are responding.
Home Values Continue to Climb
One of the most encouraging statistics for homeowners is the continued appreciation in local property values.
Current Milpitas housing data shows:
- Average single-family home price: $1,713,000
- Average condo price: $1,092,000
- Home values up approximately 10% year over year
For many homeowners, this growth has created substantial equity that may open doors to future plans, whether that’s downsizing, relocating, investing, or purchasing another property.
Why Today’s Housing Market Is Different From 2008
Many consumers continue to wonder whether rising mortgage debt could trigger another housing downturn.
While mortgage balances nationally have increased, the overall financial position of homeowners remains significantly stronger than during the last housing crisis.
According to recent housing data:
- U.S. housing value exceeds $48 trillion
- Mortgage debt totals approximately $14 trillion
- Homeowners collectively hold about $34 trillion in equity
This large equity cushion creates a fundamentally different environment than the conditions that existed during the housing collapse of 2007 and 2008.
Today’s homeowners generally have substantial ownership stakes in their properties, helping support long-term market stability.
Current Interest Rates and Buyer Activity
Mortgage rates remain in the mid-6% range:
- 30-Year Fixed Conforming: 6.75%
- 15-Year Fixed Conforming: 6.125%
- 30-Year Fixed Jumbo: 6.625%
- 15-Year Fixed Jumbo: 6.125%
While rates have moved slightly higher, buyers continue to adapt.
Additionally, recent gains in the stock market may strengthen purchasing power for some buyers who utilize investment assets toward down payments and home purchases.
Recent Open House Success Stories
Recent listing activity demonstrates that serious buyers remain active in the marketplace.
At 453 Taylor Drive in Milpitas, a five-bedroom Sunnyhills home attracted strong traffic throughout the weekend. Fifteen buyer groups toured the property during two open houses, resulting in a full-price offer shortly afterward.
Similarly, a San Jose listing at Warmwood Lane generated eight buyer groups during a single-day open house and quickly received an offer.
These examples reinforce an important point: buyers are still acting decisively when they find homes that meet their needs and are priced appropriately.
New Opportunity Coming to Milpitas
This weekend, I’ll be hosting open houses at 1865 Big Bend Drive in Milpitas.
This beautifully updated three-bedroom, two-bath home is located in the highly desirable Parktown neighborhood and within the sought-after Sinnott Elementary School area.
Priced at $1,598,888, the property offers an attractive opportunity for first-time buyers and families looking to establish themselves in one of Milpitas’ most desirable neighborhoods.
Open House:
Saturday & Sunday
2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
I look forward to meeting visitors and discussing both buying and selling opportunities throughout the area.
Final Thoughts
The Milpitas real estate market continues to perform well this summer.
Home values remain strong, inventory is growing, buyers are active, and well-positioned homes are attracting excellent interest.
If you’ve been considering selling but aren’t sure whether now is the right time, a professional consultation can help you evaluate your options and understand your home’s current market position.
Every homeowner’s situation is unique, and having a personalized strategy can make all the difference.

🚨Attn: everyone waiting for the crash
Re: the $34 trillion reason it won’t
Mortgage debt is at an all-time high.
If you’re waiting on that to crash prices, I understand the instinct.
But look at what sits underneath it.
U.S. homes are worth $48 trillion. Owners owe $14 trillion against them.
That leaves $34 trillion in equity.
Put plainly: for every dollar of mortgage debt in this country, there’s about $2.40 in equity behind it. (Federal Reserve)
Crashes don’t come from high prices. They come from forced sellers, owners who can’t afford to hold.
Two things make that rare right now:
1. Most owners have real equity, and
2. Roughly half locked a mortgage rate under 4%, so their payment isn’t moving.
Could a neighborhood soften? Sure.
But a 2008-style collapse isn’t on the board.
P.S. If you’re weighing a move, the smartest thing you can do is know where you actually stand before you decide anything. If it’s been more than 6 months since you’ve received an updated home value report, reply to this email.

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.

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 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
