Silicon Valley Spine — Start Here

Why Silicon Valley Spine Is Different

  • 12–13 days on market with 65–68% of sales closing above list price
  • $1.5M+ medians driven by AI funding, semiconductor growth, and cash-heavy buyer pools
  • RSU and stock-liquidity income requires jumbo and portfolio underwriting expertise
  • Multiple-offer, non-contingent contracts demand fast closings and pre-underwritten strength
  • Tech-employee credit unions and private bank arms compete with national retail lenders
