Hello Caton Team Readers,

Thank you for tuning in. The stats are in for October 2026.

In San Mateo County, I am happy to see some growth int the townhome / condo market as they are faced repairs due CA legislation SB 326 (read more here) and it looks like slowly but surely each balcony is getting repaired and the complex is off the “naughty list” in time for the holidays.

The market does tend to slow down come October – so no big surprise on the 30 day trend for single family homes, I think the key here is affordability. My client today went from a 7k payment to a 9k payment due to the increase in interest rates – so that is going to impact sold prices if there is not enough cash to fill the gap.

Same dip in Santa Clara County home sales. What is amazing to see is the luxury condo market has hit the same as single family homes (in both counties I might add) so we can see that location is most likely the key factor here.

As Winter comes and Fall wanes. I am curious where are market will go. The Winter is often very slow but also a great time to buy – less demand and the homes on the market often must sell. If you can wait to sell – do so – Feb / March the buyers start thawing and getting approved for their home loans.

I’ve seen an increase in buyers getting approved for loans, but disappointed by their purchase power due to higher interest rates. Many buyers are opting to rent and save in order to buy something more to their liking. Or waiting till Spring to see more inventory. However, buying off season can be a real opportunity. With the need to sell weighing higher than the price a home sells for. So if you want to buy and are price sensitive, let’s get started and at keep an active eye on the market. The Caton Team has helped a several buyers get a great home during the off season becuase they were the only buyers at the table. This could mean a lower offer price, or asking a seller for a credit back in order to buy down that 30 year rate.

No matter what… If you want to live in the Bay Area, if you have a steady job here and want to grow roots here – NOW – is a great time to buy. There are properties sitting, there are price reductions – this is an opportunity for a buyer to get a property, even under list with contingencies! As long as you see yourself here for about 7-10 years – that is a realistic time it takes to see appreciation. The longer you hold onto a home, the better. So when the market is soft and you have long terms goals here – let’s jump in.

The Caton Team provides free buying and selling consultations – to determine the current value of your home if you are selling or if you’re in the market to buy – where you get the most bang for your buck.

Remember, each neighborhood is different, if you are considering a purchase – let us guide you through this and help you find your way home.

If you’re in the market to sell – each area and price point has it’s own pros and cons – let us help you figure out your next steps. It’s what we do. We love being Realtors and our track records shows it. How can The Caton team help YOU?

What are your thoughts for the year ahead?

For my selling clients, life changes everyday and if you need to sell your home – let’s come up with a strategy to get you sold! Even in an odd market The Caton Team can help you strategically sell your home. We have before and we will again. We move with the market.

For my buyers, some homes are garnering multiple offers, but some are overlooked. With a little legwork, a buyer can truly find some great opportunities when they align with the market, are prepared to act, and understand their budget and long term goals.

Hello Caton Team Readers,

Thank you for tuning in. The stats are in for August & September 2026.

September- I am happy to see some growth in property sales for San Mateo County. I am not surprised about the dip in the townhome / condo market as they are faced repairs due CA legislation SB 326 (read more here).

Small dip in Santa Clara County home sales. Lots of job changes faced down there. But WOW was it robust in August.

As Winter comes and Fall wanes. I am curious where are market will go. The Winter is often very slow but also a great time to buy – less demand and the homes on the market often must sell. If you can wait to sell – do so – Feb / March the buyers start thawing and getting approved for their home loans.

I’ve seen an increase in buyers getting approved for loans, but disappointed by their purchase power due to higher interest rates. Many buyers are opting to rent and save in order to buy something more to their liking.

That can be a tricky move as waiting one year will impact purchase power if homes continue to appreciate and I think they will – it is the pace that I see slowing down. Homes in California have been appreciating since 1849 (I kid but you get it) – it just may not be as steep.

However… If you want to live in the Bay Area, if you have a steady job here and want to grow roots here – NOW – is a great time to buy. There are properties sitting, there are price reductions – this is an opportunity for a buyer to get a house, even under list with contingencies! As long as you see yourself here for about 7-10 years – that is a realistic time it takes to see appreciation. The longer you hold onto a home, the better.

As a generation prepares to inherit unprecedented wealth, they may be overlooking what comes with it: all the other stuff.

More than 8 in 10 recent inheritors of real estate (84%) said the property had to be cleaned out before it could be listed, and 36% called the cleanout one of the hardest parts of the process, according to a new survey of 1,350 heirs and executors.

Jennifer Carr knows how quickly that job can overwhelm a family. Her Dallas-based company, Jen Rosie Designs, helps clients sort, sell, donate, and dispose of household contents after deaths, downsizing moves, and other transitions.

One recent client had taken responsibility for clearing a 4,500-square-foot Dallas home after his father moved into a nursing home. The only problem was, he lived in Oklahoma, while the house and decades worth of belongings remained in Texas.

“I thought my wife was going to have to quit her job, and we were going to have to come down here and deal with this house for months,” Carr recalls him saying.

Instead, Carr and her business partner, Katie Whiteman, took over. They spent five full days going through the house, where the family had kept tax returns dating to the 1960s. By the end, they had assembled 339 auction lots, filled four or five minivan loads with donations, and hauled away roughly three cargo vans’ worth of trash.

It’s the far less glamorous side of the Great Wealth Transfer. Along with the $124 trillion in assets estimated to change hands through 2048, older Americans are leaving behind the contents of the homes where much of that wealth was built.

For families responsible for those homes, that can mean days of labor, thousands of individual decisions, and new expenses before the property is ready to sell.

What does it cost to empty a lifetime from a home?

An estate cleanout costs an average of $1,250, according to the latest estimates from HomeAdvisor, with especially large or difficult jobs reaching $4,000 or more.

But hauling things away is the last step. Before a family can get to that point, someone has to decide what relatives want, identify anything worth selling, arrange donations, and determine what can be discarded.

It can be an enormous undertaking. Researchers studying middle-class U.S. households once counted 2,260 visible possessions in just three rooms of one home.

It’s little surprise then, why nearly two-thirds of respondents either said they were not very prepared (34%) when they inherited the property or did not know where to start (31%), according to the survey. Only 9% described themselves as very prepared.

That’s why Carr tells families not to try to make decisions too early.

“You guys take what you want,” she tells clients. “Leave the rest, and don’t throw anything away. Don’t donate anything. Leave it all, and we will go through it.”

Is any of it actually worth anything?

Carr’s advice comes down to preserving whatever value may be hiding in the house.

“You’d be surprised at the things you thought were trash that they might sell for a lot of money,” she says. “And sometimes it’s the other way, too. Sometimes it’s like, ‘Well, I bought this in 1972, and it was $3,000,’ and it’s worth nothing now.”

Even so, there’s typically very little wealth associated with the stuff inside a home. A typical estate sale grosses less than $10,000, despite containing between 1,000 and 1,999 items, according to EstateSales.NET’s most recent industry survey.

Compared with the value of the home itself, that’s a relatively small pool of money to recover from hundreds or thousands of individual objects. But getting the most out of those items can depend on knowing which few carry disproportionate value.

Carr says jewelry is a prime example. Families sometimes assume a box contains costume pieces when real gold or silver is mixed in.

“These homes are full of gold and silver that these families don’t even know is there,” she says.

And that can mean big earnings for families. Gold prices have climbed from about $1,784 an ounce in August 2021 to roughly $4,458 in August 2026, while silver has risen from about $24 per troy ounce to around $65 over the same period.

That’s why Carr says the cost of hiring an expert like herself might hide what it ultimately saves a homeowner.

“Sometimes they get, like, $2,000, but they haven’t had to do anything,” Carr says. “So it’s basically like, ‘Hey, listen, we will take care of this entire project for you, and at the end, we’ll hand you a check for $2,000.’”

Why it’s so hard to empty a home after someone dies

And taking that emotional load off of a family can be its own gift.

“If it’s your parents or your family or a loved one has passed away, it takes so much more time because it’s emotional and you feel like you need to go through everything,” Carr says.

Research on bereavement helps explain that impulse. Deciding what to keep, give away, sell, or discard can become part of grieving itself. Possessions can preserve a connection to the person who died, forcing survivors to decide which physical reminders they want to retain and which they are ready to relinquish.

That attachment can affect what happens to the property: 54% of heirs and executors said grief or emotional attachment delayed a decision about an inherited home, according to the survey.

And 59% of Americans who had helped clear a relative’s home said they felt guilt or an obligation to keep family possessions rather than get rid of them, according to separate survey from 1-800-JUNK.

That can also create conflict within families, Carr says. In the Dallas case, the son overseeing the home was fielding requests from relatives who wanted different belongings and felt overwhelmed by the responsibility of dividing them fairly.

“I just can’t deal with being fair and even and dividing all this up,” Carr recalls him saying.

Carr suggested that relatives first take the things they most wanted to keep. Everything else could go into the online auction, where family members could bid alongside other buyers if they still wanted it.

It’s yet another toll the Great Stuff Transfer exacts: not just moving and selling possessions, but making decisions in one of the hardest times of life.

Scott Carr, Jennifer’s husband and business partner, says helping families deal with that piece has become a central tenet of what they do.

“It’s not just the logistics of it. It’s the emotional part of it, too,” he says. “Then they can just dedicate their time and their energy toward what’s really important, and that’s dealing with the family issues of what’s going on.”

• This is by far one of the hardest parts of the life – let alone Real Estate. The Caton Team has helped many families get through this hard part – please let us know if we can be of service during this challenging time. This is just one of the behind the scenes work we do and we’re happy to do it.

My Mom Is ‘Death Cleaning.’ What She Decided To Leave Me Was a Surprise. By Allaire Conte

More than 1,700 readers had something to say after I wrote about the “Great Stuff Transfer“—the furniture, dishes, and everything else that will accompany trillions of dollars in wealth as older Americans pass their legacies on to younger generations.

Some scoffed at heirs complaining about clearing out a home with hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity, and amounted it to “dismantling and erasing” a life. Others described spending months trying to sell or even give away possessions, with one reader suggesting proactively getting rid of possessions before you die is “one of the kindest things you can do for your heirs.”

What surprised me was how quickly a story about the cost of dealing with all that stuff turned into a fight over what, exactly, constitutes the inheritance: Is it the home and money an heir ultimately receives? The objects a parent spent a lifetime acquiring? Or the memories attached to them?

My mom, it turns out, has been thinking about those questions for years.

“I don’t want you to be burdened by any of that,” she told me when I asked about the possessions she expects me to inherit. “I don’t want you to keep anything that doesn’t make your life happy.”

The not-so-morbid act of ‘Swedish death cleaning’

My mom is all too familiar with what that burden feels like. She’s had to sort through her grandmother’s and parents’ homes after their deaths—a process she called “a very emotional thing to do.”

Research suggests that there is a measurable cognitive cost, as well as an emotional one.

A study of recently bereaved adults found that those experiencing more intense grief performed worse on measures of executive function, attention, and processing speed even after researchers accounted for depressive symptoms.

Perhaps it’s because she has had to pay this price, that my mom says she often thinks about all the stuff I will one day be responsible for sorting through.

“It’s just so overwhelming,” she says.

So, her solution has been to take on some of that burden herself, by “Swedish death cleaning,” or döstädning.

The practice was popularized internationally by the late author Margareta Magnusson, who encouraged people to pare down their possessions while they were still alive rather than leaving someone else to confront them after their death. And while my mother’s maternal side is Swedish, she insists her purging practice is rooted in a much more basic instinct.

“I don’t really like to have a lot of clutter,” she says. “If I’ve gone all this time and never looked at it or cared about it, I guess I really don’t need it.”

But my mom is also an outlier. People become progressively less likely to shed belongings after age 50, according to research from David Ekerdt and Lindsey Baker. Among those over 70, they found that about 30% reported doing nothing in the previous year to clean out, give away, or donate possessions, and more than 80% had sold nothing.

They called the collection of possessions people accumulate over a lifetime a “material convoy.” And, as Ekerdt and Baker point out, that convoy eventually becomes an intergenerational matter: “Its disposition must be undertaken sooner or later by someone,” they write.

The Great Wealth Transfer is also a transfer of things

And sooner or later is rapidly approaching families across the country.

U.S. households are expected to transfer $124 trillion worth of assets through 2048, according to estimates from Cerulli Associates.

Much of that wealth has been built through things like stocks and real estate—relatively easy holdings to value because they have established resale markets. But the value of everything else—the furniture, jewelry, collectibles, and other possessions passed down alongside them—is proving much harder to determine, especially because one generation prizes what the next may not.

An Edmond de Rothschild analysis released this month warned of this great repricing. Some of the assets accumulated by older generations are expected to lose appeal as they reach younger heirs, according to the bank’s analysis. At the top of the list are items such as traditional furniture and out-of-vogue collections like antique tableware.

In a random national U.S. sample, marketing researcher Carolyn Curasi found that a majority of adults hoped loved ones would care about their cherished possessions and believed those possessions reflected their family’s identity. But older consumers worried that younger relatives would not care about the cherished possessions they hoped to transfer.

My mom says she’s watched that change happen.

“When your dad and I got our place, everybody gave us their old stuff,” she says. “That was our how we got started—with everybody else’s old stuff, because there wasn’t Target and Ikea.”

Now, she says, “Nobody wants old furniture. If you want a couch, you just go to Target and you get one for cheap.”

It’s the strange divergence at the heart of the Great Wealth Transfer: As possessions change hands, the market will determine what they’re now worth. And for many heirs, that reevaluation will have to happen before they can decide what to do with the far more valuable thing containing them—the home itself.

When an heirloom becomes ‘just plates’

While many headlines cast this as an entirely new problem, my mom says she has experienced that divergence herself, explaining it through her own mother’s china.

“I have specific memories of helping my mom wash the china after a holiday,” she says. “Hand-washing it, hand-drying it, putting it away—it was special.”

Her siblings didn’t share that ritual with their mother, “so it’s just plates to them,” she says.

That affects not only what items seem like assets worth keeping, but also the monetary value heirs assign to the objects, research shows.

In one experiment, researchers Katherine Christensen and Suzanne Shu asked people to imagine selling a vintage car previously driven by their deceased grandparents. When a potential buyer shared the car’s family heritage, sellers were willing to give that buyer an average 31% discount from their initial asking price. A stranger, meanwhile, received an average discount of just 12%.

The findings help explain something seemingly irrational about heirlooms: Stories have economic values of their own.

How do you pass down meaning?

That’s where the act of Swedish death cleaning—or at least my mother’s version of it—gets interesting.

As she pares down her belongings, she also documents the things worth keeping.

She has photographed antiques and written on the backs where they came from. Her own grandmother labeled linens with the names of the people who made them and jewelry with notes explaining who gave each piece and why. My grandfather even wrote directly on a piece of furniture to record that it had been made for his daughter.

They all have, in effect, annotating the inheritances they left behind while making peace with whatever didn’t make it to the next generation.

In my mom’s words: “None of this is me. You have all of me. Right here, right now.”

And if I eventually need money more than I need one of her possessions, she wants me to use it.

“If this ring can get you there,” she says, “sell this ring.”

At the end of our conversation, I asked whether going through her possessions and talking about what she will eventually leave me felt morbid.

Not really, she says. Instead, she describes it as “another step of parenting.”

“You have to prepare your children for when they’re without you.”

• Ok so now I am crying – remembering going though my father’s things, sitting next to my future mother in law while she did this for her mother. It is an honor and a labor of love. If we can help – let us know, we have resources lined up. As I age, and look at my treasures, I know I don’t want to leave a mess for my nephews. So I will eventually do the same – but not yet. I got a whole lot of living to do and I hope you do to!
