It's Perfect But My Table Won't Fit in This Palo Alto Home

After 17 years as a Palo Alto real estate agent I have heard more times than I can count the house is perfect but.....

Today I got a call from another agent on my beautiful listing in Almaden at 1523 Oak Canyon. She said she has clients who are looking for a home where they can park their RV and she wanted to show this listing in case they could drive their RV through one of the 3 car garages to the back yard. Then she said the most profound thing I heard all day. "If they would just find a place to store the RV I would have so many more choices to show them."


So to cut to the chase, inventory is at historic lows all over the Silicon Valley. There are just not enough homes for all the people who want to buy them. If you find a home that meets your needs and is great in many respects, then if there is one or two aspects that do not fit your expectations, maybe you should think about a compromise. If your furniture won't fit would it be less expensive to buy new furniture, or a bigger house? If the RV won't fit, maybe you should store it some place. If the living room sofa is the wrong shape should you maybe buy a new sofa?

I am not saying you should buy a house that is a bad investment or that you do not like because the inventory is low, but I am suggesting that it is easier to change furniture than it is to change a floor plan.

So if you want to buy a home in Palo Alto, or most other areas of the Silicon Valley, maybe you need to be flexible about some of the details while not compromising on what is really important, like the condition, floor plan, and neighborhood.

If you have any questions about buying or selling a home in Palo Alto please feel free to contact me.
