Single Family Homes for sale in San Carlos CA 94070

This morning there are 30 homes in San Carlos CA listed for sale in our multiple listing service. Thirteen single family homes have been listed during the month of January, with 6 of those 13 already under contract.

One house, on the market for only 5 days, that is still available is 93 Hilltop Drive. Open houses were held this past weekend, with an estimated 50-60 groups through. Four or 5 people came back for second, or even third looks. A hosted broker tour will be held on Tuesday, January 31, 9:30-1:00.

If 93 Hilltop Drive is the type of home that interests you, I encourage you to contact your agent now to make arrangements to visit. The interest level is high, but there's still time for you.

If you don't have an agent, give me a call and I'll arrange for you to see it and learn all about the property.

How's the market in the White Oaks area of San Carlos, CA 94070?

Last week I did an analysis of the condominium/townhouse market in downtown Palo
Alto, California for a client. The results were fascinating--the price drop between 2007 and 2010 year to date was quite small, less than 5%.

So, that prompted me to check other market segments in towns in San Mateo County and the Silicon Valley where I have listings or have helped buyers this year. One neighborhood in Belmont California saw a decline of approximately 3% during that same period.

Much to my amazement, the story is quite different in the White Oaks neighborhood in San Carlos, CA, traditionally a stronghold in the area:

While a 13% drop in median price is since 2007 is not unusual in San Mateo County as a whole, I was surprised to find a decline that steep in the White Oaks area. These statistics also show that prices have edged up slightly from 2009, and the number of sales are on track to match 2009.

You've heard it before: real estate is definitely local. If you have questions about your area, the spot you call home in the mid-Peninsula or Silicon Valley, I'm here to help.

Residential real estate for sale in San Carlos, California continues to be in short supply. This morning, the last weekday of January, there are only 28 single-family homes for sale in our multiple listing service, and 20 condos and townhouses. For a breakdown of these, read my post from earlier this morning.

In the White Oaks neighborhood, the scarcity of homes for sale is even more dramatic.

There is only 1 (that's right, 1) single family home for sale, a 3-bedroom, 2-bath house listed at $839,000 7 days ago.

There are 6 pending sales, ranging in price from $969,000 to a low of $501,500 (for a bank-owned property on the Alameda de las Pulgas that's been on the market over a year, with unfinished construction making the house unlivable at present.)
