The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 7/20/26
July 20, 2026
The Recap:
Two weeks ago, sellers were the story in San Carlos as they put nine new listings on the market in the same week. As I mentioned last week, it is somewhat of a rarity to see that happen in mid-July when the market is historically quieter.
Last week, the buyers who are staying put for the summer seized that opportunity and put eight of those homes under contract. That buying surge was somewhat replenished by four other listings that launched last week, keeping the inventory at a respectable 20 homes for sale in all of San Carlos.
Last week, I posted the fifth in my series of neighborhood check-ins, this time focusing on Beverly Terrace, which is the most expensive neighborhood in San Carlos, and home to some of the most desirable streets and micro-neighborhoods in the city. Before I finish the series with a check-in on the Alder Manor neighborhood, I'm going to mix it up this week and discuss another topic that is rapidly picking up steam: all-cash offers.
On that note, if you had to guess what percentage of homes are purchased with all cash in San Carlos (i.e., no bank loan) what would it be? Register your guess below, and I'll post the results later this week.
Loading ...Have a great week! Here are the numbers from last week's market in San Carlos:
