What I’d tell you about Sunnyvale
Two houses with the same beds, baths and square footage can be $300,000 apart here on condition alone. Preparation pays back more in Sunnyvale than in most markets.
Buyers: read the inspection and the preliminary title before you write, not after. The cost of finding out later is the whole negotiation.
Sellers: this is a strong market for pre-listing improvements paid at closing, because the return on prep here is unusually visible.
