Buying a house in Silicon Valley is an interesting experience, if you can detach yourself from the financial stress. In reality, you cannot. It all depends on the price range you can afford before you venture out to seek the home of your today's dream.
In my earlier years of real estate sales, I had met too many buyers from out of the State who were in this Silicon Valley real estate cultural shock. The story was usually that they just sold their two - three thousand square feet home with an acre of land somewhere. Moving to Silicon Valley with much higher pays, they were dumbfounded to learn that the most they could afford was a 1500+- square feet Ranch home if they wanted a better school district for their kid(s).
However, Silicon Valley is truly Silicon Valley. It's kind of magical in many senses. Especially when the time plays tricks on us. I have had many clients with technical backgrounds coming to this valley, first living in a one-bedroom apartment; then moving to a 1,000 square feet simple Rancho home; not long after, I was helping the young couples (now with kids) purchase multimillion dollars of homes.
So if you like to hear more good stories, please stay in tune and follow this blog.
Until then,
