The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 8/27/2018.

August 27, 2018

Home buyers were once again very busy in San Carlos this past week taking advantage of the temporary surge in inventory. Nine homes were put into contract versus only five new listings.  This pushed the inventory back down to 16 homes for sale in the city.  I expect there will be a flurry of listing activity leading up to the Labor Day weekend, and certainly afterward too.

There has been a lot of talk in the press recently about the real estate market stalling out, and even the potential of a housing crash in California, but the market is certainly not behaving that way right now.  Open houses are still very busy, especially on their first weekends, and buyers are still purchasing homes in this area.

Here is a look at last week's numbers:
