A total of 166 homes sold for more than $1 million in Santa ClaraCounty in November, down 13.5 percent from November 2009. It marked just the third month this year that year-over-year sales of million-dollar properties decreased.

ââ¬ÅFor the most part, Silicon Valleyââ¬â¢s luxury housing market has improved in 2010, but the recovery hasnââ¬â¢t always been even or smooth as the November closings prove,ââ¬Â said Rick Turley, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. ââ¬ÅNonetheless, the high-end market gained momentum this year as it worked its way back towards a healthier market. Hopefully that will cascade down to the rest of the market in 2011.ââ¬Â
