The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 1-25-14.

January 27, 2014

Homes for Sale?

Not much changed this past week as far as the inventory level of homes for sale in San Carlos.  As I predicted last week, the rate that homes are coming on the market is being matched by the rate at which they are going into contract.  Consequently, the inventory is staying flat and stuck in the single digits.  This means that open houses were very busy over the weekend.   If you were out and about in either San Carlos or Belmont, then you know exactly how difficult it was to even find a parking spot to see what few houses were open.

Next weekend marks the end of the professional football season with Super Bowl Sunday, and the “traditional” start of the Spring real estate season.   Believe it or not, many sellers opt to wait until after the Super Bowl to list their homes for sale, especially if a particular team happens to be playing.  (And no, I'm not talking about the Raiders.)   Here's to hoping that this year will be very traditional in that respect.

Here are the details from last week…
