In case you missed it: Last week, the U.S. Census Bureau released detailed results from its 2020 survey, and there were some interesting insights from the numbers. The total U.S. population stands at 331 million, with cities getting denser and rural areas becoming less and less populated.
More Americans identify as multiracial; the Black population grew over 5%; Asian and Hispanic communities grew by 35% and 23%, respectively; and the total white population shrank for the first time in the history of the Census.
But concerns persist that racial and ethnic populations were undercounted, primarily due to immigrants fearful of filling out the form despite the removal of the citizenship question. Nevertheless, America is more diverse than ever before, and that’s a reason to celebrate! Learn more from the AP.
CalFire uses the term “defensible space” to describe a buffer between buildings on your property and the grass, trees, shrubs, or other wild areas surrounding it. By creating a defensible space around your home, you can slow or stop the spread of wildfire and save your property from a tragic ending from embers, flames, or excessive heat. This space also provides firefighters a safe space to work while protecting your home. Learn more.
It’s important to keep your property lean and green to help protect your family and home, but “home hardening” is also essential to improve your home’s chance of surviving a wildfire. A few ideas: re-roof with materials such as composition, metal, clay or tile; install dual-paned windows with one pane of tempered glass to reduce the chance of breakage in a fire; or remodel your walls with ignition resistant building materials. Get more tips from CalFire.
Do you remember the listing we told you about in the Villages community of Evergreen a couple weeks back? Yesterday, our client SOLD the property. There were multiple offers on the table, and we chose a cash offer with no contingencies and closing within 8 days.
As an added bonus, our seller spent less than $30K on upgrades to the house and got $80K more than they expected. We are so happy for them!

Last week, we took a look at rising year-over-year numbers for the house and condo markets in San Mateo County, and we’re seeing the same in Santa Clara County. Sales and median prices have increased significantly since this time in 2020.
The difference between the counties comes down to the time condos are spending on the market, with Santa Clara showing a decline over the past year. This makes for an even tighter market in the South Bay.
