The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 3-8-14.

March 10, 2014

437-Hillcrest-Road

The two week run of relatively favorable trends for home buyers in San Carlos definitely came to an abrupt halt last week.  Only 4 new listings hit the market, which was not nearly enough to offset the 9 homes that went pending during the same period.  The net result is that by the time of this post, we were back down to 10 homes for sale in the entire city of San Carlos, and the trend looks to be continuing downward from there.

More than half of these 10 active listings have offer dates set for sometime this coming week, so without a significant influx of new inventory we're likely headed back to the low single-digit inventory range once again.   So don't be shocked if you check in later in the week and see a total of 4-5 listings in all of San Carlos.  That's definitely not good news for home buyers, who are certainly expecting more inventory now we're well into the Spring Market.

Here are the details from last week:

    why isn’t 1357 woodland ave on your radar? it came on the market a few weeks ago and sold after the first open house.

    Hi Woodland Ave Resident,

    Thanks for your comment! Actually, 1357 Woodland is indeed in the Weekly Updates. The 2-15 Week in Review has it as a new listing, and the 3-1-14 Review shows when it went pending. It hasn’t closed escrow yet, but when it does I’ll be sure to catch it in the “sold” part of the weekly updates.

    Thanks again for checking in…
