The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 2/15/2016.

February 15, 2016

The Scoop.

The market didn't exactly charge out of the gate after Super Bowl Sunday as many hoped it would. In San Carlos, there were only 3 new listings to kick off the Spring real estate season. That puts our inventory at only 9 homes for sale as we start the shortened week.

For those who were hoping that the market might be starting to level off, the closed sales figures this week did little to justify that. Both 620 Terrace Road and 1089 Hewitt Drive fetched whopping premiums of 26% over their respective asking prices, so clearly buyers are still stepping up to the plate to go after the homes that they really want.

A few weeks ago we discussed the seller's motivation behind the off-market sale. It's interesting to note that we're seeing quite a few more off-market sales so far in 2016 than we are normally accustomed to. From what I am seeing, buyers are definitely willing to pay a premium for purchasing a home off-market for the “privilege” of avoiding a potential bidding bloodbath if the house were were to go to on the market.

Here are last week's numbers:
