San Jose is home to several institutions of higher education, including San Jose State University (SJSU), a major public university with a focus on technology and business education. The city's economy is heavily influenced by the technology sector, but it also includes industries such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing.

Pricing Your Property to Maximize Buyer Activity
Timing of Buyer Activity
A property receives the most traffic within the first few weeks of hitting the market. It is important to get the price right in order to gain the attention of interested buyers and maximize your home's position in the market.
Attracting Buyers Using Competitive Pricing
Using competitive analysis, market research, and Compass’ suite of AI-powered tools, we recommend a price for your property to generate the most activity and offers early on before buyers move on to newer listings.
