The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 3-17-12.

March 18, 2012

1338-Pebble-Drive

San Carlos Real Estate Summary.

Buyers were the story this week in San Carlos.  14 homes went into contract in what was arguably the busiest week so far this year.  This overshadowed the fact that 9 new listings made their debut during the week — normally a very respectable number, and it follows on the heels of the 12 homes that listed the prior week.   But this flurry of buying activity served to push the inventory of single family homes in San Carlos back down to 30 again.

By popular request, the condo stats are back this week and will become part of the Week in Review again going forward.

Here are the numbers for this past week…

    Chuck,

    wow, 1449 Howard FINALLY sold, after more than 8 mths on the market. For a house that had a nice curb appeal, have lots of backyard space (due to house on a small footprint) and being in the White Oaks school district (I think), it took forever. Price pt, as I recall, was not out of line. Chuck, what is your take here?

    Marky.

    Howard can be a deterrent for some with families. Plus the 80’s kitchen made what was an otherwise charming house seem unappealing. Plus I would not have called it a bargain, even with a decent backyard, the lot was small.

    But looks like pending homes in San Carlos at all price points are falling like dominoes lately.
