The San Carlos Real Estate Week In Review: 4/18/09.

April 18, 2009

New and Improved…

Or, is it “Tastes great, less filling?”  I can't remember.  But I tinkered with the format of this report a bit.  Now you'll find a new section on Homes Pending Sale, and new links in the report that list ALL  homes Sold, Active, or Pending in San Carlos.  Basically, if it's about real estate in San Carlos, it's in here.  Let me know what you think of the new format.

San Carlos Inventory Analysis

There are more homes to choose from in the sub-$1M price range, and fewer to choose from in the $1.0M – $1.5M range.  Not great news for move-up buyers, but it's a good sign that this segment is starting to move.    Here's a snapshot of the San Carlos market, as of 4/18:

Price Range Active Pending Ratio
Homes < $1M 36 (32) 19 (17) 1.9 : 1 (1.9 : 1)
Homes $1M –$1.5M 17 (21) 10 (11) 1.7 : 1 (1.9 : 1)
Homes >$1.5M 11 (10) 2 (2) 5.5 : 1 (5 : 1)
Total 64 (63) 31 (30) 2.1 : 1 (2.1 : 1)

Homes Pending Sale

This is a new feature to the Week in Review where I'll note any homes that went into contract that were interesting for any reason (short or long days on market, for example.)

  • 48 Stanford Lane — Pending after 1 day on the market.
  • 91 Kenton Avenue — Pending after 12 days, and with multiple offers.
  • 1401 Crestview Drive – Pending after 161 days (and a total reduction of $274k)

    Hi Michael,

    Actually, I picked it up in last week’s update (4/11). You’re correct — it did sell very quickly. It never had an open house!

    I’ll post the sold price as soon as it closes escrow. Thanks for your comment…
