The Scoop.

The further that we get into this amazing run up in home prices all along the Peninsula, the more we seem to find ourselves circling around the $2,000,000 sales mark for homes in San Carlos. In all of 2014, there were 26 homes that sold for $2M or higher in San Carlos (on the MLS) — there are already 20 in just the first 7 months of 2015. What makes this number even more remarkable that there have been 9 homes that just missed this apex in 2015, having closed between $1.9M and $2M. Two of those 9 closed this past week.

Having reported on the San Carlos real estate market every week for the past 8 years, it still blows my mind that I am reporting numbers like this for San Carlos.  Truly amazing.

After a few quiet weeks, the condo and townhouse market has kicked back to life.  There are 4 new listings that hit the market last week, which should give shoppers in the market segment a little bit more to see. And speaking of noticeable price increases, the unit that closed this week at 3 Bellflower Lane along the previous sale at 20 Buttercup Lane are serving notice that you should be thinking about a number beginning with $1.3M if you want a clean 2BR townhouse with a view up in Crestview Park.

Again, truly amazing…

Here's the scoop from last week:
