As for the average sale price, it's hard to ignore the eye-popping figure of $2,293,232. reflecting the strength of the current market and the high demand amongst those looking to buy a home in San Carlos. This can seem like an impossible market to buy a home in. That is unless you have a trusted and experienced local real estate agent like Chuck Gillooley.
Purchasing a home in a ‘typical’ market is categorized by few to no competing offers and ample time to make decisions, which makes it much easier to navigate. But if you’ve tried to buy a home in San Carlos, you know it is far from the typical market. With many homes selling before ever hitting the market or receiving multiple offers, it takes true expertise to turn challenging conditions into clear advantages. Chuck Gillooley has been helping San Carlos home buyers do just that for the past 16 years.

Access to Off-Market Listings
