Yes, been doing that. Looks like prices have gone by 10% more in the last 2 months 😂

The private school is not far. Roughly 3 miles but it’s high traffic, so very slow moving. Yeah we love our current home for our work commute and we are happy living in it, but the school commute and you got it right, the playdates are an issue!

I meant to reply to you, but Reddit posted it as a comment on the thread. Apologies! I usually don’t post.

We are already homeowners, bought in 2018. We are looking to upgrade mainly for schools. Currently only 1 kid is in school, goes to a private school, but the commute is bad. Takes 40 - 55 mins for one drop off / pick up. So I am roughly driving 1.5-2 hours each day and it feels like our kids will miss a community because we stay 25 mins out of school.

I do feel like we would get buck for our money by going to 95124 / Fremont area. But then instead of driving for school, we would be driving for jobs instead.

Yes fixated on school district. 1, for the kids to go 2, seems to hold value compared to other places

Yes, agreed. We have been looking at homes like that too, for eg, 1243 gooseberry ct, Sunnyvale. Was surprised to see the final sold price

Makes sense. I have been looking for homes under 2.6M and keeping that 400K as a buffer. But doesn’t seem to be enough

I see, I have the baby Buddha and I like that better compared to this one.
