In Palo Alto, Atherton, and surrounding luxury markets, pricing accuracy is rarely about square footage alone. Value is shaped by micro-location, school boundary nuances, buyer psychology at specific price tiers, redevelopment potential, and how a property is positioned relative to what else is coming to market — not just what has closed. My valuation process accounts for factors that automated tools and generic CMAs consistently miss.
