Countywide, prices are marching upward! It is a HOT seller's market in the lower price ranges of Silicon Valley, especially if a home is not a distressed sale. Rising prices bring a cooler market in most areas and price points, though.
Los Gatos is a mixed bag too. Lower priced homes "in the schools" are selling nicely. Although it's more challenging to sell higher priced homes, there are quite a few homes over $2,000,000 which are sale pending.
