Preview of new Los Gatos Victorian
I have been asked to sell this incredible Victorian home in Los Gatos. It has just been listed on the MLS. Be sure to visit the property web site for more info.
Fall in love with this quintessential, Victorian home that blends the historic character and period details of a classic Queen Anne architecture with the modern amenities and spaciousness expected of today’s accomplished individuals. Raised circa 1880, this historic home began its journey in the first small segment of land representing the initial incorporation of the Town of Los Gatos in 1880. It was lovingly cared for and eventually first expanded in the 1950s. With renowned architect, Tom Sloan, and Bonsai Builders, the current owners undertook the monumental task of completely reconstructing the home to provide the space and amenities that successful families of Silicon Valley now demand. The metamorphosis spanned several years as the team worked to balance the character of the old while satisfying the modern demands. The result is a new construction of over 3,000+/- square feet containing virtually anything you would expect in a home with a quaint, front façade that retained the period details and makes this home so special. Today, nearly 130 years later it sits, in its expanded grandeur, still in one of the most coveted parts of town, a mere three blocks from the teeming life of a vibrant down town but worlds away in its secluded, serene locale.
The Real Estate Rumble
Ever since the stock market dropped dramatically last fall, the real estate market in Silicon Valley has been slow. Open houses have had few visitors. Houses for the most part have been sitting on the market with little activity. Those sellers who had a choice did not want to put their houses on the market in this environment. Buyers seemed to be either waiting for prices to drop more or to feel more secure in their employment. The market has felt stagnant. But there is a rumble that started a couple of weeks ago. Beginning the weekend of January 10th, open house activity has picked up dramatically. Offers on properties are being written and not just offers on bank-owned properties. High-end properties in areas like Saratoga and Cupertino are going under contract. Conference rooms in the best real estate firms are again at a premium.
Is now a good time to refinance my home?
Is now a good time to refinance?
I got this question today via email today from a client who I will call Sally. I thought the subject might be of interest to more than one person, so I am posting my answer on this blog. For now, I am leaving the names of the banks and lenders out of the discussion. The point of this thread is what, why and when, not who and where.
