		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Blake,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for pinging for clarification.  My intention was to say that Mountain View was on fire in July, but if you&#039;re looking to put your home on the market *today*, you should be careful about your number because buyers are more uncertain now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Just like higher numbers at the pump, people will get used to the higher percentages.  It&#039;ll take some getting used to though.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The line I would emphasize to them is, &quot;Sellers are confident because of this disparity [ed. low CDOM number], but we&#039;re moving into a slower part of the Silicon Valley market cycle in a period of uncertainty with mortgages.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ll update the first line to make it more clear and I&#039;m going to add a comma between &quot;cycle&quot; and &quot;in&quot; in the last sentence because there are two separate ideas there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers,&lt;br /&gt;
Steve &lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&quot;Higher interest rates for jumbo mortgages is a story for another day, but it does color what I&#039;m about to write. &quot;

I&#039;m not sure I picked up on the connection. Shouldn&#039;t the recent increase in Jumbos be pushing houses in the 1MM+ range into slower territory? Your post demonstrates the opposite, I think.</description>
