The San Carlos Real Estate Week In Review: 5/2/09.

May 2, 2009

156-normandy-ct

It was another busy week…and that was just on Friday.  A whole bunch of new inventory hit the market on Friday, and quite a few homes closed escrow.  This is great news for both buyers and sellers, because the inventory was starting to get stale with so little movement.

San Carlos Inventory Analysis

As you can see from the New Listings and Homes Sold sections below, there was a flurry of new listings, and quite a few home sales this past week.  When both of these numbers surge like this, the Active : Pending ratio jumps too, but likely just temporarily.    It simply takes time to absorb that much new inventory.    Here's a snapshot of the San Carlos market, as of 5/2. The previous week's stats are in parentheses:

Price Range Active Pending Ratio
Homes < $1M 40 (41) 18 (22) 2.2 : 1 (1.9 : 1)
Homes $1M –$1.5M 19 (17) 5 (10) 3.8 : 1 (1.7 : 1)
Homes >$1.5M 11 (9) 2 (2) 5.5 : 1 (4.5 : 1)
Total 70 (67) 25 (34) 2.8 : 1 (2.0 : 1)
