▼ Cooling DownPonderosa, Sunnyvale Market Update
Ponderosa favors sellers, but smart buyers can still win. Here's the picture:
- Homes sit for about 21 days — enough time to tour, but don't wait too long
- Selling 5% above asking — budget above list price to compete
- Monthly payment: $7,433 (20% down) — well below the Bay Area average
- Bidding wars persist (55% sell above list) but inventory is growing — competition may ease soon
- Ponderosa pricing is 20% below the Sunnyvale median ($1.49M vs. $1.87M)
Competition is easing. Conditions may improve in coming months.
