Dear Friends, Family and Colleagues:
Welcome to our 13th edition of Velasco Chronicle and Buzz.
As we approach the end of summer, and the start of the new school year, we at JVG want to continue to spread good vibes your way and hope your family is safe and healthy.
The local real estate market continues to be doing strong and the statistics from last month data proves just that. The mortgage rates are at an all-time low and continue to stimulate the purchase and refinance market place.
In our monthly newsletter, we have always shared local activities in the three counties, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara.
With some business still being closed under this pandemic, we wanted to share our favorite virtual activities online and a few that are open.
As always, we have included our up to date Compass Market Reports from Patrick Carlisle, Compass Chief Market Analyst.
Also, below are our Active/Coming Soon Listings, Unique home and JVG favorite Home of the Month.
JVG is always here to answer your questions. We look forward to connecting with you soon, in person or over ZOOM. Until then, enjoy!
