The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 1-11-14.

January 13, 2014

Desperately Seeking Inventory.

The first full week of the new year didn't bring buyers what they have been desperately looking for – new inventory.  As of this morning, there are only 3 single-family homes for sale in the entire city of San Carlos, which is the lowest level that we've started off a new year in recent history.

As we discussed last week in Part III of our seller's series, the ideal time to sell your home is when you have the combination of maximum demand and the least amount of inventory — which perfectly describes the market conditions in San Carlos right now.   But these prime selling conditions won't last forever.  There's no doubt that more listings will be coming up.  It's just a matter of who is going to get their home on the market first and take advantage of these conditions.

Here are the details from last week…

By The Numbers.
