San Jose Real Estate Information

 San Jose is a wonderful and diverse place to live. San Jose offers strong employment opportunities, great schools, wonderful homes, and an amazing quality of life.

The tech industry dominates the employment of San Jose. The tech innovations from the established as well as start up companies provide employment opportunities unlike anywhere else. The strength of our local colleges and universities continue to attract the most talented minds across the country which adds to our competitiveness in the tech market place.

San Jose real estate offers all types of housing from cozy cottages to spacious mansions overlooking golf courses. San Jose homes are divided into 11 MLS categories: Almaden Valley, Blossom Valley, Cambrian, Central San Jose, East San Jose, Evergreen, North San Jose, Santa Teresa, South San Jose, West San Jose, and Willow Glen. Each of these distinctive areas exhibits a unique style of housing, a variety of restaurants, and a strong sense of community. San Jose homes vary in price dramatically based on neighborhoods. The San Jose real estate market continues to be a strong market.

The quality of life is wonderful. San Jose's climate is Mediterranean with mild winters and mild summers. You can enjoy the outdoors any time of the year. Hiking trails and campgrounds make you feel like you are in the wilderness, but in reality you are only a few miles away from town. Also, San Jose is near all kinds of vacation destinations. Skiing is only 4 hours away in Tahoe, and the beach is only 30 minutes away in Santa Cruz. San Jose is also home to a variety of theatre production companies and professional sports. No matter what your interests, you can find it in or near San Jose.

San Jose is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. Contact me when you are ready to make your San Jose real estate move.
