The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 8/22/10

August 22, 2010

Inventory Analysis.

School is back in session for most of the local high schools, and San Carlos School District gets back in session next week.   That means vacations are over for many, and usually means the end of the August siesta that the real estate market seems to take every year.   This August is certainly bucking the trend from previous years, though, as sales activity has remained solid throughout the summer.   That leads me to believe that the September – November fall market will be healthy.  We'll soon see, because it's right around the corner.

    What’s your take on someone relisting with a different agent/broker? Does it make that much of a difference? When a house doesn’t sell, usually I’m told it is because the price is too high, not that they had a lousy agent. Those homes haven’t been off the market for very long between agents, so wouldn’t the same buyers be looking at the house and wonder what value the new agent is supposed to add?
