The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 11-19-11.

San Carlos Real Estate Summary.

Buyers braved the elements this week to check out a few new listings before the holiday week.  Mike Hirner's new listing at 387 Elm Street was especially busy with both buyers and brokers alike viewing it non-stop on Friday and Saturday.  That is one of the benefits of listing a home when there's relatively little competition — look for a blog post coming up about listing your home in January, which essentially discusses the same premise.

Here's a quick snapshot of the inventory of San Carlos single family homes as of 11-19-2011:

Inventory	11-19-11	Prior Week
Active Listings	42	43 (-2.3%)
Average Price of Active Listings	$974,882	$969,158 (+0.6%)
Average DOM of Active Listings	79	80
No. of Homes Pending Sale	31	31 (0%)
