The Los Altos Hills May 2014 home sales report reflects steady prices as we enter the prime summer selling season.  Only one home closed escrow in May, which indicates a weaker market for existing homes in the ultra-premium price range (current median list price is $4,850,000).  Driving through the Hills, we see construction underway for many new custom homes. Six of the 23 homes currently on the market have been for sale less than 30 days.  There are presently no short sale or foreclosed homes for sale.   June 1st Los Altos Hills Market Snapshot: Homes active on the market: 23 (click to view > Los Altos Hills homes for sale) Distressed properties for sale:  Short Sale – 0  Foreclosed – 0 Price range of active listings:  $2,950,000 to $27,000,000 Number of homes now in escrow:  13   Los... 06/02/2014

The Los Altos Hills April 2014 home sales report reflects a steady market with prices holding as we enter the prime summer selling season.  Of the eight homes that closed escrow in April, all had selling prices above $2.5M.  Homes in Los Altos Hills typically sell a little slow than in other communities due to the large number of estate homes that carry higher price tags. Ten of the 24 homes currently on the market have been for sale less than 40 days.  There are currently no short sale or foreclosed homes for sale.   May 1st Los Altos Hills Market Snapshot: Homes active on the market: 24 (click to view > Los Altos Hills homes for sale) Distressed properties for sale:  Short Sale – 0  Foreclosed – 0 Price range of active listings:  $2,395,000 to $27,000,000 Number of homes now in escrow... 05/05/2014

Bullis Charter School is not the same as Gardner Bullis Elementary   Although both are physically in the city of Los Altos and have similar names, Bullis Charter School is not the same as Gardner Bullis Elementary.  The two schools get confused with each other, but are very different.  To explain, knowing the history is helpful.  Back when the Los Altos School District Board decided on February 10, 2003 to temporarily close down the original elementary school which served much of Los Altos Hills (Bullis-Purissima Elementary), a group of affected residents sprung to action and started Bullis Charter School (BCS) to fill the void.  Even though BCS is physically located in the city of Los Altos (in the portable classrooms on a campus shared by Egan Junior High School), BCS is chartered by ... 04/11/2014

Los Altos Hills is one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Silicon Valley.  The ground dwellars in Los Altos are already considered the "haves", so the residents of the Hills are considered the "have mores".  If you buy a home in Los Altos Hills, which schools will your kids attend? Los Altos Hills served by 5 Elementary Schools from 3 Districts - Palo Alto Unified (1), Los Altos School District (3), and Bullis Charter School (1). In order from the northwestern tip down to the southeastern tip, the elementary schools assigned to the different neighborhoods of Los Altos Hills are:   -- Palo Alto Unified: Lucille M.

The Los Altos Hills March 2014 home sales report for homes that closed escrow reflects the exclusive nature of luxury property sales – few homes on the market and prices are currently holding steady.  All homes that completed sale in March or are now on the market carry a price over $2,000,000.  All escrow closings were for single family homes, selling at a median price of $3,140,000 (two homes that reported completed sales withheld their sale price). On average Los Altos Hills homes are selling quickly.  Homes that closed escrow in March averaged 34 days on the market before an offer was accepted, though seven of the nine that sold were on the market less than 30 days.  Seven of the 17 homes still for sale have been on the market less than 30 days.

The Los Altos Hills home sales report for June 2013 reflects the improving market throughout Silicon Valley.  However, despite as many homes being on the market in Los Altos Hills as there are in neighboring Los Altos or Palo Alto, the number of homes sold in June is considerably lower in Los Altos Hills.  This is most likely because home prices are so much higher in Los Altos Hills – 31 of the 42 homes listed for sale are priced above $3,000,000. The time needed to sell is also longer – June homes that closed escrow in Los Altos Hills averaged 30 days on market, the average in Los Altos and Palo also was about 15 days on market.  Of the seven Los Altos Hills homes that closed escrow in June, only two were on the market longer than 30 days and three sold in less than 10 days.  Again, th... 07/04/2013
