What Sold, and What’s New in San Carlos — Week of 6/1/08

We had another Freaky Friday this week. New listings outpaced home sales by about a 3:1 ratio this week, pushing the inventory back up to 63. Over half of these listings hit the market in a flurry of activity on Friday, which will give open house shoppers lots of unexpected options this weekend.

Note that even though there were only 4 transactions that closed escrow this past week, not one went over the original list price. This continues a trend that I noted in the May Sales Summary below.

New Listings

• 249 Garnet Ave: (Pictured Above) $1,259,000 — 3BR/2BA, 1,690 sq ft on a 5,720 square foot lot. OK, so this isn't exactly a “new” listing, since it was originally listed in March of this year and then taken off in April. But hey, any time a house goes for sale on Garnet, it's newsworthy in White Oaks, even if it's the second time around. MLS #813368, listed by Peter Vece of Dumas & Company.

• 27 Willow Glen Way: $1,625,000 — 3BR/2BA, 900 sq ft on a 3,825 square foot lot. (These square footage numbers don't seem to make sense, but that's what the MLS states….) MLS #813712, listed by Mary Duvall of Coldwell Banker.
