December home sales activity for West Sunnyvale (94087) has been consistent.
18 single family homes (SFH) closed escrow in 94087 in the month of December. Since 2010, the average number of SFH sales in December has been 20.
Fourteen properties had multiple offers and sold at or above their asking price. Property condition may have contributed to a lack of multiple offers on 3 of the 4 homes that didn’t receive multiple offers. These homes had few upgrades and appeared to be in fairly original condition. The fourth home that failed to receive multiple offers had a poor footprint. So homes with a good floor plan and that are in excellent condition are being purchased at a premium.
