Housing market remains resilient.

It may not be the sticker shock of last year’s tariff-palooza, but war with Iran is causing economic volatility and uncertainty to surge higher every day. However, the housing market has not seen significant impacts — at least not yet. That could change in a hurry.

As of April 13, the average daily 30-year mortgage rate had risen to 6.41% after briefly dipping below 6% prior to the war. And as anyone with a gas-powered car has experienced, oil prices have soared, causing inflation to jump from 2.4% in February to 3.3% in March.

Prior to the ceasefire, consumer confidence fell to its lowest reading ever going back to 1978. Following the announcement, stock markets have dramatically rebounded.

Client Story - Jun & Weimi

We are so thankful to Jun and Weimi — cat parents like us who love boba — for trusting us to share in their big life moment!

But you don’t have to take our word for it. Here’s what they had to say…

Pearl and Kevin are truly the best of the best. They are smart, professional, and incredibly friendly!

Buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming, but with Pearl and Kevin, the entire process felt effortless. We are so grateful to have crossed paths with them because they turned what could have been a stressful journey into something we actually looked forward to.

Yes, buying a home was fun! Every meeting was a chance to learn something new. They always had thoughtful answers to our questions, and when it came to property work or improvements, they had trusted connections for everything you could possibly need.

Beyond their speed and professionalism, what really stood out was their honesty and empathy. They gave feedback that was not only insightful but also genuinely caring.

As a powerhouse couple, they complement each other perfectly and bring such great energy to every interaction. Working with them never felt like “business”; it was like spending time with friends who truly have your best interests at heart.

We would recommend Pearl and Kevin without hesitation.

Properties in the works!

We’re always working hard to elevate the properties we showcase to buyers by adding value from the bottom to the top. Right now, we’re working hard on a few off-market properties to get them ready for primetime, and as you can see, the Geek is taking a hands-on approach with the finishing touches.

What is old is new is old again.

Reclamation, repurpose, and reuse are the latest trends sweeping the Silicon Valley restaurant scene, and the Peninsula is home to a plethora of new faces in familiar spaces. Adrienne Mitchel’s latest Foodist newsletter in the Mountain View Voice takes a look into recent relaunches of classic venues with new concepts. Brunch anyone?

No time to waste.

In Silicon Valley, time moves as fast as technology, which is one reason move-in ready homes make the perfect match for our market. A sleek, modern haven complete with all the amenities is just the ticket for a high-octane lifestyle.

We like our matcha lattes mixed to our tastes by baristas who know our names. So it makes sense for us to seek out turnkey treasures that offer instant comfort, style, and sophistication. Because who has the time to hunt for a fixer-upper deal — and actually do the fixer-uppering?

With open-concept spaces flooded with natural light, gourmet kitchens packed with cutting-edge features, and smart home systems that practically run themselves, move-in ready homes are all about efficiency with a side of luxury. And in a market marked by low inventory and fierce demand, they’re a fast pass into the Bay’s most desirable neighborhoods.

We invite you to skip the stress, save time, and live beautifully!

– Pearl & Kevin
