The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 10-11-15.

October 12, 2015

The Scoop.

Last week I posted some alarming statistics about the number of new listings that have hit the market so far in 2015, and how that number is over 21% below the same period last year – which was also a lean year for listings. When the market is starved like this, it results in mind-numbing numbers like you see below in the summary table: $1,089 per square foot, 121% of the asking price, and an average sales price of nearly $1.85M.

It also shows the whipsaw behavior of the Fall real estate market. Only one week prior, homes fetched only 7% over the asking price and $846 per square foot on average, and spent twice as long on the market. It should serve as good data for buyers that even though the market may have cooled a slight bit, there is still strong competition for what home buyers deem to be the “right” place.

Here's the recap from last week:
