The San Carlos Week In Review — 7/27/08

It was another week where sales out paced new listings in San Carlos.  It was only a month or so ago that we peaked at 72 active listings, and now we're below 50.  This makes it challenging for buyers, and a golden opportunity for sellers…that is, if they decide to step to the plate.  Many are sitting on the sidelines waiting for the economy to improve.

As always, click on the addresses for more details and additional photos…
