Peninsula & Silicon Valley — Common Questions

How competitive is the Peninsula & Silicon Valley market right now?

It depends heavily on price band and location. Some segments still see multiple offers in the first week; others move more slowly. We’ll show you current data for the neighborhoods that match your search so you know what to expect.

Should I focus on schools or commute first?

For many households, it’s a balance. School ratings, commute, and budget rarely line up perfectly in one place. We help you see realistic combinations and understand how each option affects daily life and long-term value.

Can I buy with significant stock-based income?

Yes, but it requires the right lending approach. We regularly work with clients whose income includes RSUs, bonuses, and variable compensation. We can introduce lenders who understand these structures and help you plan for both upside and risk.
