Willow Glen, San Jose home appraisals in 24 hours

Signed desktop appraisals of Willow Glen houses and condos, from your photos and the records, emailed within a day of payment.

Willow Glen, once its own town southwest of downtown San Jose, has leafy streets off Lincoln Avenue with 1920s and 1930s bungalows, Spanish and Tudor cottages, postwar ranch homes and new two-stories built where small houses stood. I value homes here after a parent dies, in divorces and for trusts, often for houses held for decades, where the date-of-death value carries real tax weight.

What I look at in Willow Glen

  1. 1

    When a small 1920s or 1940s house sits on a good lot, buyers here may be paying mostly for the land and a chance to rebuild, so I look at teardown sales alongside remodeled ones.

  2. 2

    Streets matter here: a block near Lincoln Avenue or the Los Gatos Creek trail can sell differently from one beside a busy road like Curtner or Meridian, so I keep comparables close to your street.

  3. 3

    Palm Haven and the older streets around it have period homes with original details, and I note from your photos what's original, what's been restored and what's been replaced.

What to photograph

Photograph the house and lot from the street, the back yard and its trees, and the original floors, fireplace and woodwork. If a second story went on later, show the seams where it joins the original house.

Willow Glen questions

We need a date-of-death value for Mom's Willow Glen house for the step-up, can you?
Yes. I value it as of her date of death using Willow Glen sales from around then, matching age, size, lot and condition, and describe the house as it stood that day. Your CPA decides how it applies to the basis when you sell.
Is our old Willow Glen house worth more as a teardown than as a home?
Sometimes the lot is most of the value, and I test that by comparing sales of houses bought to tear down with sales of similar homes that stayed lived in. If the teardown sales are close to or above the others, the lot is doing the work. I report the value as is either way.
When would I get the report for a Willow Glen home?
Within 24 hours of the moment I have both your payment and your photos, weekends and holidays included. If you're not in a rush, the regular schedule is 5–10 business days at $299 or $449.

“I've prepared desktop appraisals for every purpose on this list. Some situations still call for an in-person appraisal, though, so check with your attorney or tax advisor first to make sure a desktop report is right for yours.”
