The San Carlos Real Estate Week in Review: 7/27/26
July 27, 2026
The Recap:
So much for July being a slow real estate stretch. This month has produced the highest number of new single-family home listings for a given July in San Carlos in the past four years, and there's still a full week left to go. This is a surprising reversal after a relatively lukewarm listing performance in June. I normally don't even focus on June and July listings because they are usually two of the slower months on the real estate calendar.
But when the summer months remain relatively busy, it's a sign of a healthy housing market, and this seems to be playing out in San Carlos. The first seven months of 2026 have yielded the highest number of home sales in the city since 2021, not to mention the steady increase in home prices.
On the topic of home sales, last week I highlighted all-cash sales in San Carlos, noting that there's a common belief in San Carlos that more buyers are paying for their homes with cash than there really are.
This week, I will post the final installment in my series of neighborhood check-ins, this time focusing on Alder Manor, which is another neighborhood that produces large, expensive homes.
Enjoy your last week of July! Here are the numbers from last week's market in San Carlos:
