Fusion Sunnyvale : No need to get there early. Just get there on time.

When Fusion Sunnyvale conducts its sales release for building 36 on June 9th, you don't need to camp out.  You do not need to get there early; you just need to get there on time.

If interested in buying in this upcoming sales release, then when June 9th rolls around, arrive promptly at 9:30am and complete a Home Preference Form listing which home you would like to purchase.  There is no need to arrive BEFORE 9:30am because if more than one buyer wants the same home, a drawing will conducted "bingo ball" style.  Hopeful homebuyers will have equal chance no matter who arrived first.  You can camp out the whole night, but you will still only get 1 bingo ball added for this release.

I say "added" because hopeful homebuyers who submitted Home Preference Forms for previous sales releases at Fusion but did not purchase a home will be given bingo balls for each previous sales release in which they participated.  If you tried two times before, you will have a total of 3 bingo balls in this next release lottery.  However, if you cancelled a reservation of sale in the past, you lose all the bingo ball allotments you had previously earned for the sales releases you attended prior to your cancellation.

If you win the lottery, you will be asked to sign a "Reservation Instrument" form and write a deposit check for $5,000 to First American Title Company.  Even if you are a backup offer, you will need to sign a backup "Reservation Instrument" and provide a $5,000 deposit check.

Mountain View Ada Ave Townhouses have been rising since their bottom in 2010.  Here are charts that illustrate this.

Santa Clara Neighborhood: SE of Lawrence & Benton - Who's walking around the block at dusk?

Homebuyers often ask REALTORs, "What do you think of the neighborhood?"  I often tell them, "I think it's a neighborhood, but it matter more how YOU feel."  As an agent, I'm not supposed to give any opinion regarding the demographics, so the best I can do is state FACTS. 

At dusk on a Monday night, I walked around the Santa Clara neighborhood that is South East of Lawrence & Benton, South of Earl Carmichael Park, North of Stratford.School, Monticello Academy, and Curtis Practice Field.  Who are the people walking around the block at dusk?

7:25pm An older couple taking a brisk evening stroll
7:30pm A mom pushing her new baby in a stroller as her older toddler followed close behind.
7:35pm An engineer from Apple

What kind of neighborhood you like is a personal decision.  Your best bet is to do as I do ... walk around the neighborhood and see for yourself what type of people are walking around at that time of day.

Santa Clara Homestead Little League

Santa Clara Homestead Little League is in full swing right now.


Games and practices are usually on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Twice a season, the kids in Farm League get to play on the Major Field. The kids enjoy playing on the Major Field because it has the atmosphere of a real playing field with announcers, bleachers, a home run fence, lines, etc.

The Home team's job is to set up the bases and rake before the game.
If you need to dry up some puddles, then throw QuickDry on them.

The Visiting team's job is to remove the bases, return the bases to the storage shack in Minor Field, then and rake after game.

The League provides each child a cap and a T-shirt with the team name + socks

Parents need to provide shoes (cleats for baseball or soccer are both ok), baseball pants (no shorts), belt, athletic supporter. Optional: Buy your own helmet. (Kids can also borrow a helmet every time they are at bat.). Parent can buy all this equipment at Sports Basement, Sports Authority, All Out Baseball (expensive), and/or Big5.
