The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 9-20-15.

September 21, 2015

170-Hillcrest-Road

The Scoop.

What a difference a single week makes. At this very same time just last week we only had 13 single-family homes for sale in all of San Carlos. This week, we officially say goodbye to Summer and welcome Fall in with a relative avalanche of inventory. It has been many weeks since our inventory popped above the 20, so this is significant. It certainly gives home buyers some additional options to see, and a renewed hope that they will be able to actually secure a home with a tad less competition than what we saw in the Spring market.

It took a flurry of listing activity last week to get the inventory back up over 20. Nine homes debuted on the market over the past 7 days, making it a rather busy open house weekend for many buyers. But aside from the crazy summer heat, I'm sure buyers didn't mind being busy — especially after so many weekends of slim pickings.  And I believe this little rally has some legs, as there will be additional listings hitting the market over the next two weeks.

Although many buyers that are still active out there are probably weary after an entire year of battling to get their home, this next 45-60 day period will be rewarding for those that can remain on task.

Here's the recap from last week:
