The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 10/23/23

October 23, 2023

TWOB-Week-in-Review-02

The Recap:

Much like the previous week, the sales activity in the San Carlos real estate market is starting its traditional slowdown as we enter the last full week of October. There were only three new listings that were put on the market, and those were canceled out by the three that were put under contract. When you combine that with the handful of listings that were taken back off the market, that dropped the inventory of single-family homes for sale in San Carlos to just 25.

The average days on the market for this group of homes is sitting at 42 days, which is uncharacteristically long for the San Carlos market, but it highlights the current standoff that's happening in our local market: There are definitely lots of home buyers still in the market, but they're just not jumping at what is currently available. Maybe that will change as we get closer to the end of the year.

Meanwhile, here are the numbers from last week:

    I was surprised when I saw that 1408 Crestview Drive only sold for 3.3M given it’s huge and nicely updated. But then I noticed that it’s in the RWC school district! I hadn’t even realized that the homes at the bottom of Crestview aren’t in SCSD.

    Hey Steve,

    Yes, you are correct – it was a very nicely appointed home. But also, it is indeed in the RWC school district, and that part of Crestview is 2 lanes in each direction and gets a lot of very fast traffic going in both directions. That’s the market we’re in now!
