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.

Will there be a Spring rebound?

Spurred by an AI boom and relatively robust economy, median home prices in Santa Clara County have skyrocketed year over year, at rates vastly outpacing any other Bay Area county. Meanwhile, inventory looks to be on the rise, so we should start to see some movement in the market over the months ahead.

As usual, stay tuned to this space for updates!
