Do School Ratings Affect House Price Appreciation?
School ratings do affect house prices, but they do not appear to affect the appreciation rate.If you carefully compare adjacent cities, one with highly rated schools and one without highly rated schools, you will almost always see that the house prices in the city with the highly rated schools will be higher. However, if you look at the prices over time, the appreciation rate tracks between the two schools.An example of this is Cupertino vs. San Jose. Cupertino is well known for its highly rated schools. San Jose schools vary by neighborhood, but are not as uniformly as highly rated as Cupertino schools. View more examples and information about Silicon Valley schools.

Adding more fees and regulations is unfortunately the path our different governments take. Making housing more affordable is about removing costs, not adding them.If our governements simply changed regulations…
Median Days On Market
The roughly two-year-long pronounced difference in house price growth between Santa Clara County and cities near San Francisco invites us to examine other trends.The volatility of "days on market (DOM)" makes it a trend that is harder to use when looking for changes in real estate trends. DOM is an important attribute to look at, however. It is what sellers, buyers, and agents feel. DOM is also widely available for Silicon Valley cities because our local MLS's publish it and when listing agents begin listing a new home for sale, they will almost always look at it and share it with their home seller.DOM has been quite low for Daly City houses since the beginning of 2023 up to the present (Dec 17, 2024). Even the median DOM shows significant volatility during this period, varying from about 11 days to almost 20 days.Now look at DOM for a Santa Clara…
