Do you want to buy a Silicon Valley home? If so, there are lots of things to consider and to weigh. You’ll need to decide your budget (get help: hire a good lender), choose your preferred Silicon Valley locations, decide on what type of Silicon Valley home and size you want to purchase.
Let’s say you’ve spoken to a lender, have more than $100,000 saved for a downpayment and closing costs and can afford approximately a $500,000 purchase price. That half a million dollars can purchase you a very decent townhome in a nice area like Campbell, West San Jose or Cambrian Park, or an entry level house in various parts of San Jose such as South San Jose, Blossom Valley, or Santa Teresa (among other areas in Santa Clara County).
