The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 3-22-14.
March 24, 2014
For home buyers in this market hoping to make San Carlos their new zip code, this week's report will seem somewhat analogous to driving past a car accident on the freeway: You really want to look at it, but you might be sorry once you did. The sold figures that are posted below will probably take a little bit of starch out of even the most die-hard home buyers, while at the same time making every homeowner in San Carlos feel like they hit the lottery.
Some of the recorded sales below are simply breathtaking, with premiums of over 40% paid to secure these listings. But these huge differentials aren't solely caused by the listings being under-priced to begin with. The average price per square foot of the 8 sales that closed last week was $873 — an incredible price for San Carlos, and more akin to what you would have seen in Menlo Park a few months ago (they're now at $1,000/square foot.) So no matter how you look at it, it's getting very expensive to live in San Carlos.
Here are the details from last week:
