Trick or Treat? Chic or Geek?

73% of Americans plan to celebrate Halloween today, and we all do it a little differently (see more in Number Talk). How do you make the most of this boo-tiful day?

CHIC (Pearl)

I love dressing up, and it’s always fun to see even the most “normal” neighbors embrace their creativity with costumes from kids shows to comic books. I may be too old for tricks, and I’ve learned to moderate my sweet tooth, but our house will still be the place to go for the best treats – including full-size candy bars and caramel apples – as long as you come dressed for success!

GEEK (Kevin)

You might’ve guessed my favorite part of Halloween is the decorations. If kids want a treat from the Chic’s candy bowl, they’ll have to get past the tricks in the Geek’s haunted front yard. I’m pulling all the skeletons out of the closet for the first time in years, and I’ve invested in cutting edge spooky tech to take things up a notch! Think you can make it to our front door? Good luck.

Santa Clara County Market Update - September 2023

As Pearl noted in this week’s Chic vs. Geek, inventory is down throughout Silicon Valley, as indicated by a 27% year-over-year dip in home sales in September for Santa Clara County, and a staggering 37% drop in condo sales. Consequently, median prices are up from this time last year, and homes and condos are spending 35% less time on the market.
