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.

📊Market 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.

3371 Hostetter Road, San Jose

🚨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 I’ll send you a current value estimate (no obligation or cost).

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.

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!

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

She was always available to answer our questions and provided regular updates throughout the process.

We highly recommend Debbie to help with all of your home buying and/or selling needs!
