The headline number — median prices down 10.5% year-over-year — tells only part of the story. In 2025, several extraordinary sales above $8M skewed the prior year's median upward. Strip those outliers and the core $3M–$6M Monte Sereno market has been remarkably stable. Price per square foot is up 21.2% — the truest measure of demand in a market with this little supply. Hot homes are selling at 9% over asking in under 9 days.

What Makes Monte Sereno Unlike Anywhere Else in Silicon Valley

Structurally Limited Supply

Monte Sereno has no commercial zoning, no multifamily development, no plans to change. Total number of homes is fixed. Declining supply plus rising demand from tech wealth means the long-term trajectory is clear.

Absolute Privacy

No through streets, no commercial activity. Streets exist only for residents. This is the privacy that people with the means to choose anywhere choose.

The Neighbor Effect

Tech founders, executives, and investors who could buy anywhere chose Monte Sereno specifically. The community that forms around that demographic is itself part of the value.

The Street Named After Annette

“There is a street in Monte Sereno named after me.”

Seaborn Court, off Highway 9 in Monte Sereno, exists because I purchased the land, managed the development, and sold the homes — solo. This was not a team effort. This was one agent, one vision, and 25 years of knowing this market well enough to see opportunity where others saw undeveloped land.

I tell this story not to boast. I tell it because it is the most honest answer I can give to the question every buyer and seller eventually asks: ‘How well do you really know this market?’

The answer is: well enough that a street here carries my name.

When you work with me in Monte Sereno, you are working with the agent who has sold on every major street in this community, who knows the history of properties before they were developed, who has relationships with every listing agent in 95030, and who has a personal stake in the health of this neighborhood that goes beyond any transaction.

I have sold homes on Seaborn Court. I have sold homes on Grandview, on Wild Way, on Belgatos. I know which lots have the best views, which streets stay quiet during school traffic, which homes have the privacy that ultra-luxury buyers require. This is not knowledge I read somewhere. It is knowledge I earned.
