Alexander Kalla Featured in Fortune: Bay Area Buyers Grapple with Sticker Shock

Press Alexander Kalla August 6, 2025

Alexander Kalla Featured in Fortune Magazine

I’m honored to be featured in Fortune, where I shared insights on the evolving housing market and why even all-cash buyers are facing “sticker shock” in the Bay Area.

As quoted in the article:
“Even buyers who pay in all cash have to contend with sticker shock,” said Alexander Kalla, a realtor with Keller Williams Bay Area Estates.

Demand remains strong in high-end neighborhoods like Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Hillsborough, but limited inventory and seller expectations are creating tension. In many cases, buyers must recalibrate not just price expectations, but also timing and strategy.

The market has shifted. And as I told Fortune, expert guidance matters more than ever when evaluating value, risk, and long-term positioning.
