Did your San Jose Home just drop in value? | 5 San Jose Schools Closed

Описание: San Jose Unified school closures have homeowners worried about home values, but the honest answer is not what most people think. The real Silicon Valley real estate story in 2026 is the school boundary redraw and what it means for your San Jose home.

I cover the five things homeowners and buyers are getting wrong about these closures. You will see where students from Canoas, Empire Gardens, Gardner, Lowell, and Terrell are moving, why the boundary changes touch homes that did not lose a school, and how to verify a school assignment with the district before you write an offer. I also break down what closures do to nearby home values and the enrollment decline behind the whole decision.

If you own a home in San Jose Unified, are buying in Silicon Valley, or are thinking about moving to San Jose, this is the checklist to run on any address in the district right now. Verify your boundary, confirm your assignment in writing, and watch what the district plans for each closed campus.
