The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 12/26/09
December 26, 2009
This week, the total number of homes sold so far this month surpassed the total for all of December 2008. Why is this significant? Because it's the fourth month in a row where sales have increased over the year-ago period. This is a strong indicator that the San Carlos market is working its way out of the recessionary slump that held the market down for the first two-thirds of 2009. Since January of '09 was a weak month, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see this trend continue into the new year.
Here's a snapshot of the San Carlos market, as of 12/26. The previous week's stats are in parentheses:
Price Range | Active | Pending | Ratio |
---|---|---|---|
< $1M | 11 (11) | 14 (16) | 0.8 : 1 (0.7 : 1) |
$1M –$1.5M | 9 (9) | 4 (5) | 2.3 : 1 (1.8 : 1) |
