The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 8-11-12.

August 12, 2012

128-Wellington-Drive

San Carlos Real Estate Summary.

This week was punctuated by no fewer than 6 new listings in San Carlos — an abnormal occurrence for August in what has become an abnormal real estate year in just about every respect.  But buying activity remained brisk as at least 5 buyers stayed home from vacation and wrote offers on homes.   This balance is keeping season inventory low at about 31 active listings in the entire city, of which only about 25% are considered to be in the “flats” of San Carlos, which is why new listings such as 200 Edgehill Drive should garner lots of interest with buyers looking to live in the flats.

Here are the numbers for the week:

    And wow, 200 Edgehill is pending already.

    Any homeowner waiting for the “right” time to list their home in San Carlos is wasting their time.

    Thanks Michael — I couldn’t have said it better myself.

    This just shows what happens when there’s an absolute dearth of 4 and 5 bedroom homes for sale anywhere close to downtown. I’m not surprised it all that it sold on the second day.

    But then again, David has been showing it to people for weeks ahead of publishing the listing.
