If elementary school ranking is important to you, then be extra careful of school boundaries in western Sunnyvale because the top elementary schools (Cherry Chase, Cumberland, and Ellis) all happen to border the worst performing elementary school (Vargas). The most critical boundary is the dividing line between Cherry Chase (the top performing elementary school with 2009 API = 943) and Vargas (the worst performing with 2009 API = 729). West of Mary Ave, the homes south of El Camino are in Cherry Chase while the homes north of El Camino are in Vargas Elementary. The 2nd most critical boundary is between Cumberland (the 2nd best school, API 879) and Vargas. In this case, the homes southeast of the corner formed by Mary Avenue & Washington Avenue are in the desirable Cumberland Elementary...

How Did Great Britain and the American Colonists Lose 12 Days in 1752? by Michelle Carr-Crowe, Silicon Valley guide and Cupertino real estate agent selling homes in San Jose While keeping track of time may seem simple, people had to make some hard decisions to coordinate calendars and time several hundred years ago. Known as Calendar Adjustment Day, today marks the 260th anniversary of the event. To make things more complicated, most European countries adjusted their calendars 170 years earlier back in 1582. The change was needed to coordinate current calendars to match the Gregorian calendar. Great Britain and its colonies, including the American ones, didn't make the move until 1752. Great Britain and all of its colonies, iincluding the Americas, finally jumped 12 days in 1752. What w...

  In Sunnyvale from Jan 1, 2012 until June 30, 2012 there were: 58 closed short sales 32 closed bank owned homes Total sales during this time period were 447 Total % Short Sales: 12.9% Total % REO Sales: 7.1% Total Percentage  Sunnyvale Distressed Properties: 20% 20% of all Sunnyvale sales being distressed is enough to still have some effect on the overall market. However, as inventory is still so low unless these homes are truly physically distressed, which is more common with bank owned homes at this level, it probably will not have a long lived effect. It is interesting to see there are almost twice as many short sales as bank owned sales. If you have any questions about short sales or foreclosures in Santa Clara County please feel free to contact me. Marcy Moyer Keller Williams Rea...

In 2007 the Sunnyvale market was very competitive for buyers, especially for homes in the Cupertino School District. Many homes were getting multiple offers (like today) and nerves were often frayed (like today). I was working with a very nice couple who were looking for a single family home with Cupertino schools. They made several offers before one of their offers was finally accepted.  One house came on the market in the Birdland neighborhood and the agent said we could submit an offer right away and she would present it to the seller. So my buyers wrote a very good offer which was submitted on a Friday evening, but the agent said she could not get a hold of her clients and would get back to me. There was an open house on Saturday and my clients went to the open house but did not tel...

  1. Read my other blogs to learn more about 37 Degrees North.  Are they in your price range? Will you want upgrades?  Is your preferred floor plan in your price range? (Note: I can help you get something to help you out.)2. If interested, let me know. As stated, if you walk in and register all alone and the SELLER'S agent gets you to sign, you will lose your right to have a BUYER'S agent like me on YOUR side. (I ccan help protect your interests and get some incentive.) 3. We pick a time when we can go in together.  We have to do it BEFORE the Reservation Drawing & Priority Registration event this upcoming Saturday, June 23, 2012.  Robert Lei (408) 893-2410
