Have you responded to the 2020 Census? If you live in Silicon Valley, there’s more than a 75% chance that you have. But with the deadline looming on September 30th, one in four of your neighbors still hasn’t been counted. And legal challenges to extend the deadline are backed up in the courts.

Last week, we showed you how sales activity in the Bay Area didn’t dip significantly during the recent wildfires, except in the few counties where the fires were concentrated. According to the chart below, listings going into contract in Santa Cruz County fell more than 30% during the height of the CZU complex fire, nearly reaching lows from the peak of the shelter in place.
Meanwhile, things weren’t much better in Monterey, Marin, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma counties, all of which saw huge year-over-year declines in August activity.
These days, it’s easy to see that we have a lot of reasons to be grateful. So many people are struggling just to get by, and so many people have lost their loved ones, livelihoods, and homes because of the pandemic, wildfires, and other disasters. For those who are suffering, the tiniest gift can be a lifeline, and even a moment of joy can be a reason to celebrate.
So much of our industry revolves around the idea of luxury. But there is no one definition of luxury. It’s different for all of us, and it’s all tied to our perspective and experiences. A luxurious home for one person could be a small cottage to the next person. Our role is to understand this and listen closely to our clients when assessing their needs.
With so much uncertainty in the world right now, the greatest luxury of all may be having someone in your corner who can guide you through the home buying or selling process and help you find exactly what you’re looking for without a lot of fuss.
That’s how we roll, and we’re always ready to talk! - Pearl & Kevin
With wildfires in our backyard and a hurricane on the Gulf Coast, disaster insurance sounds like a good idea.

The Town of Hillsborough is a primarily residential community west of U.S. 101 and east of I-280, a short commute away from San Francisco and minutes from SFO, with easy access to Caltrain. Incorporated more than 100 years ago, the town has retained its charm and continues to serve as an escape from the pressures of the big city.
In addition to a generally quiet, peaceful atmosphere, Hillsborough also offers award-winning schools and high quality public services. Once dominated by large estates, the town is home to several historic mansions that hearken back to a more regal time. Meanwhile, nearby cities of Burlingame and Foster City give Hillsborough residents options for a night out.
