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

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.

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 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
