The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 9-29-12.

San Carlos Real Estate Summary.

One segment of the market that doesn't get much airplay on this site is the condo/townhouse market.  It's a smaller segment than the single-family home market in San Carlos, but no less important.  When the market tanked about 4 years ago, this market really took a beating — much more so than homes.  The rate of short sales and foreclosures was far higher than the rest of the market in San Carlos as investors and owners in this segment were wiped out by the steep drop in values.

But the condo/townhouse segment has made a nice, steady recovery over the past 12 months.  Prices have steadily climbed as buyers and investors swooped in to pick up some pretty good values.  Many of the foreclosures and short sales are now off the books, and this market is as hotly contested as the market for single family residences.  In fact, as of this post there are NO condos or townhomes for sale in the entire city of San Carlos!    So it shouldn't be a surprise when you see the strong sales prices that are posted below for the most recent condo sales.

Here are the numbers for the week:
