The counties that benefit the most belong to 2 categories: those which took the deepest plunge during the crisis (Solano, Alameda…) and those which are traditionally the most stable (and pricey) due mostly to the quality of the work environment and what we call the “quality of life”: Santa Clara (heart of the Silicon Valley), San Mateo,… As an example, Solano county, that took a bath over the previous 6 years, gained 36% in a year. As far as Santa Clara & San Mateo, they jumped respectively 25.6% and 32%. Not bad for any 12 month period, won’t you agree? Much of the appreciation, however, can be attributed to the extreme shortage of listing inventory. A couple of weeks ago, I was checking the number of active listings in Santa Clara county for the same period of 2011, 2012 & this year. Frightening it was. From 2011 to 2012, the number of listings fell more than 50%, while the number of pending sales was nearly identical. This year, the inventory shrunk another 16% or so! Something has got to give. Since unit sales are limited by the extent of the available inventory of homes, at a time when mortgage money is (still, but for how long?) at bottom levels and the pent-up demand is getting impatient… prices can only go up a bit more. Are the sellers among you listening?
