San Carlos Real Estate Summary.

As you might expect to see in a strengthening market with tight inventory, prices are starting to inch upward in San Carlos.  A significant percentage of the homes that are selling right in San Carlos now are fetching multiple offers, which almost always drives the prices above initial asking price.  This week was no different, as the average sold price was 102% of the list price.  On top of that, the of the 5 homes that went pending during the week, 4 of them were on the market for 2 weeks or less — usually an indication that there was strong demand for those homes.

This doesn't mean that everything is selling above list like it did back in the peak of 2007, but be prepared for the possibility that if there's a place that catches your eye, it has probably caught a few others too.   Here are the numbers for the week:
