OUTLOOK
As we reported to you at the beginning of the year in our annual report (find it on the Market Data tab at troyercabot.com), we anticipated continued demand in 2026, which is exactly what we saw. Q1 2026 did see noticeable volatility in the financial markets, with meaningful swings driven by geopolitical events, energy shocks, and shifting economic expectations. As a result, it’s too early to determine how this may affect our local market going forward. Real estate in Los Altos remains highly sought-after, and limited inventory continues to support strong pricing. Buyers may become more cautious, but the fundamentals of the local market – top schools, a thriving community, and proximity to major tech employers – remain key drivers of demand.
With only 28 homes listed for sale (plus 5 being discreetly marketed), this is an exceptional opportunity to entrust your property sale to the Troyer & Cabot Group. Our team boasts a proven track record in preparing homes for sale and an unwavering commitment to securing expected prices or exceeding them. We encourage you to get in touch with us now to review your individual circumstances – as a seller or a buyer. There is never any obligation.
