The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 3/27/2017.

March 27, 2017

Calendar-7

We are heading into the final week of March 2017, and it was at this exact time last year that we experienced a strong uptick in new listings in San Carlos. The inventory of single-family homes for sale at that time was sitting at about 14, and in the matter of 10 days we had a rush of new listings that pushed that number all the way up to 30. The effect of that surge was quite noticeable to anyone that had a listing on the market. The pressure seemed to have been lifted from the buying population, and their demeanor during open houses was far more deliberate and less desperate.

That malaise recurred several times during the remainder of 2016, most notably the period of time between September and November when one would expect buying activity to be brisk. But as well all know now, the market has come charging out of the gate during the first three months of the new year.

The big question on everyone's mind is this: Will we see this uptick in inventory again this year, and if so, what impact will it have on the market?

There were 5 new listings to hit the San Carlos market just this morning (they don't make the numbers below because I set the deadline for data on Sunday night). That alone has increased the inventory level in San Carlos by 55% in a single morning. If this is any indication of what is coming, then yes, we may be headed toward another significant inventory surge in the Spring market.

Here is a look at last week's numbers:
