Do Silicon Valley House Prices Follow A K-Shaped Trend?
Concerns about a K-shaped economy have entered the housing market. An important question is “do Silicon Valley house prices show a K-shaped trend?” The answer could be important to you whether you are a home buyer, a home seller, or a real estate investor.
A K-shaped economy is a trend where wealthy people have greater wealth growth than average or low wealth people have. This may imply that luxury house prices rise faster than average house prices. The question is thus, do they?
Luxury House Prices vs. Average House Prices
A quick look for a K-shaped house price trend can be done by comparing Atherton house prices (luxury houses) to Redwood City house prices (average houses).

Although house prices significantly different in Atherton and Redwood City, the appreciation rates are very close. There is no K-shaped trend.
