The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 6-21-14.

June 23, 2014

19-Camborne-Avenue

One of the key metrics to keep an eye on when you are gauging the temperature of the local real estate market is the Days on Market, or DOM, of the homes that are going into contract.   The larger that number gets, the longer homes are staying on the market before they sell.  This past week in San Carlos, nine different homes went pending, and all but one sold in about 2 weeks or less — in fact,  the average for the entire group was 14 days.   The average DOM of all 29 homes on the market in San Carlos right now is only 22 days, which is a relatively low number.

This is a good indication that inventory is still turning fairly quickly in San Carlos, despite the fact that we've seen a sharp increase in new single-family home listings since the beginning of May.   This past week was no exception to that trend, with 10 new listings replacing the 9 that went into contract, which has kept the inventory level almost unchanged from the prior week.  And with prices showing no signs of weakening, that's pretty strong evidence that the demand for housing in San Carlos is remaining strong as we head into summer.

Here are the details from last week:
