The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 8-16-15.

The Scoop.

This past week marked the first of the back-to-school weeks, and the end of summer break for many in San Carlos. It's shocking to believe that summer break is already over! But it also marks the beginning of what we hope will be a very robust Fall real estate market here in San Carlos. This is traditionally the last 3-month period of the year (August 15 – November 15) that sellers will put their homes on the market before shutting everything down for the holidays.

The activity last week was underwhelming by any standard. Only 3 new single-family listings hit the market, and 4 homes that were put into contract. We are starting the week with an inventory of 12 homes for sale in the entire city, and only one condo. Here's to hoping we see more this week.

Here's the scoop from last week:
