What Sold, and What’s New in San Carlos — Week of 3/24/08

The pace of sales and new listings certainly kicked up a notch last week. For the second week in a row, more homes sold below asking than above. Of the eight homes that closed escrow this past week, two got above asking price, one sold at list, and five sold below. That’s an interesting trend — we’ll have to see if it continues. As always, click on the address for more details:
