    Why San Jose

    What makes selling in San Jose different

    San Jose is defined by steady in-bound moves from out of state keeping the housing market busy. We know the neighborhoods here and buy older homes with original finishes through brand-new builds directly, as-is. California homeowners carry the highest transaction costs in the country — commissions alone can run tens of thousands of dollars. Many sellers here are handling an inherited home under Prop 19, a tenant-occupied property, or a relocation that can't wait for a 60-day escrow. SilverCrest buys California homes directly, as-is, with no fees taken out of your offer.

    The typical San Jose home is valued around $1,187,800, with a median build year of 1975 — so half the homes here are older than 1980 and often carry deferred maintenance a retail buyer's lender will flag. Owner-occupancy runs about 55.9%, across a city of roughly 990,054 residents, with median property taxes near $9,121 a year. Those figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau's ACS 2023 5-Year Estimates, and they are part of how we benchmark a direct cash offer on your San Jose property.
