I would observe the testing process and that it's sealed before shipping out.

Also go on Facebook groups and observe the posts.

Sorry for tagging you Carlos, theres no thread reply option.Mike & Chris have made some VERY observant comments.Relative to John's comment, the thousands of tech workers (mostly software) that have been layed off may not think the economy is in a soft landing.

IDK if any of this helps but this what I have observed / experienced among the clients we work with. 

@Abhishek Agarwal It's the boots on the ground observation that I am referring to.

Based on the provided real estate data for San Jose, CA 95111, there appears to be a seasonal pattern in home sales activity and prices:Peak Season (Spring/Summer)The data shows a higher number of home sales occurring in the spring and summer months, particularly from March through August.Home prices also tend to be higher during this peak selling season, likely due to increased buyer demand.Off-Peak Season (Fall/Winter)There are noticeably fewer home sales recorded in the fall and winter months, from around September through February.Home prices also tend to be somewhat lower during this off-peak period compared to the spring/summer months.This seasonal pattern is quite common in real estate markets, driven by factors such as:Warmer weather and longer days make it more convenient for buyers to go house hunting in spring/summer.Many families prefer to move during the summer when children are out of school.The spring market is fueled by annual bonuses/tax refunds providing down payment funds.Sellers often list their homes in spring to take advantage of the higher buyer demand.However, it's important to note that this is just a general observed trend.

@Shivani Kumar With family that has a portfolio in the suburbs my observation is that the market is too saturated.

Something I've observed for many years is that the price of housing in the Boston area has skyrocketed. 

Non syndicated investments have specific caps one must observe.

I suspect that is driving some of the behavior you are observing.
