I am looking at the timing question first, because timing is the whole game when the numbers get this specific.

If you are deciding whether to move now or sit tight in Sunnyvale, CA, the answer is simple last month still favored sellers, but not in a lazy, anything-goes way. A typical sale took 9 days, and recent offers landed at 107.1% of asking, so the smart move is to act with purpose instead of wandering into the market like it owes you coffee.
Last month, a typical sale took 9 days in Sunnyvale, CA. That is fast enough to reward homes that are priced correctly and ready to impress on day one, not day nine after a nervous refresh spree. For a seller, that speed matters because buyers are not shopping like they have all week to think about it. For a buyer, it means hesitation can get expensive, especially when the market is already seeing offers above asking in Sunnyvale, CA. Price early with discipline. Move quickly on the right home. Keep your first response honest and sharp.
