The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 2-25-12.
February 26, 2012
San Carlos Real Estate Summary.
If you need any further proof that the demand is red-hot for homes in San Carlos, this past week should have resolved any doubt. The $2.8M home at 1955 Carmelita Drive sold in just 5 days, reportedly with multiple offers. And the first open house on Saturday for the beautiful craftsman at 1837 Howard Avenue was absolutely packed. Buyers are definitely out there in big numbers, and with 8 homes being snapped up this past week, it has been impossible to build up any significant inventory of homes. As of this post, there are still only 25 homes to choose from in the entire city.
Even the active/pending ratio — which normally sits at about 1.7-2.0 — hit a low of 0.6 this week. That's the lowest number that I can recall posting in the 4+ years of this blog's existence.
By The Numbers.
