The Real Deal quotes Meunier Brothers on Silicon Valley luxury sales

The Meunier Brothers Real Estate Team was featured in The Real Deal's look at off-market luxury home sales in the San Francisco Bay Area. Andy Meunier said Santa Clara County has seen fewer private luxury deals than San Francisco as more inventory gives buyers more choices and sellers more exposure.

Why it matters: - Silicon Valley luxury sellers are choosing between privacy and broader market exposure. - The shift affects how high-end homes are priced, marketed and sold across Santa Clara County. - More inventory is giving buyers more leverage and changing the case for off-market deals.

What happened: - The Meunier Brothers Real Estate Team at Coldwell Banker Realty was featured in The Real Deal's report, "San Francisco Drives Bay Area Off-Market Luxury Boom." - The report examined private residential sales of $3 million or more across the San Francisco Bay Area. - Andy Meunier was quoted on why Santa Clara County has seen fewer off-market luxury transactions than San Francisco. - Meunier said, "I think down in the South Bay, because of our market, I think there’s a little bit less of a fear of missing out."

The details: - The Real Deal found that Santa Clara County's off-market luxury sales volume declined modestly. - Total public and private luxury sales in Santa Clara County increased. - Greater inventory gave buyers more options. - More sellers chose full-market exposure instead of a private sale. - The team says Silicon Valley home selling services include pricing strategy, property preparation, professional media, targeted digital marketing and focused offer negotiation. - Andy and Ben Meunier serve buyers and sellers in Cupertino, San Jose, Santa Clara, Los Altos, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Saratoga, Los Gatos and nearby communities. - The Meunier Brothers Real Estate Team says it ranks among the top 1% of Silicon Valley real estate agents. - The team says it has more than $300 million in career sales and over $110 million closed in 2025. - Readers can learn more about the team and read the full The Real Deal article online.

Between the lines: - The market appears to be favoring sellers who want maximum competition over those prioritizing discretion. - In a stronger inventory environment, off-market listings can lose some of their appeal because fewer buyers feel pressure to act fast. - The data suggests that Santa Clara County luxury sales are being shaped less by scarcity and more by strategic marketing choices.

What's next: - Silicon Valley homeowners are likely to keep weighing privacy against price discovery when choosing how to list a luxury property. - Sellers may lean on local agents to match listing strategy to the home, the inventory backdrop and the likely buyer pool. - The Meunier Brothers Real Estate Team will continue pitching its mix of market analysis, preparation and digital marketing to luxury clients.

The bottom line: - Santa Clara County's luxury market is still strong, but more inventory is making full-market exposure a more compelling option for many sellers.**
