The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 9-6-15.
September 7, 2015
The Scoop.
The big number to report in this week's update is the percentage over the asking price for the homes that closed escrow last week. The five homes that sold last week fetched an average premium of 21% over their respective asking prices, which is significantly higher than what we normally see on a weekly basis. Looking at the list of sold homes below, it's a combination of a few listings that were simply priced too low, but there were also a couple that fetched surprisingly high prices. Either way, it was a banner week for home prices in San Carlos.
New listing activity was decent, especially considering that it was the week preceding Labor Day. Many sellers opt to wait until after the 3-day weekend to put their home on the market, so it will be interesting to see what pops up later this week.
Here's the recap from last week:

As a first time homebuyer these numbers depress me to no end. I’d love to live on the peninsula but I can’t see how any first time buyers have that option anymore. At some point we will be calling this a bubble and it will eventually pop, right?
There are thousands of jobs being created with almost no new housing being added. As long as demand far exceeds supply, prices will keep going up, especially in areas with good schools.
