Pending sale - 1221 Highland Court, San Carlos, CA 94070 Properties, like 1221 Highland Court in San Carlos, are selling quickly and selling well. That is, if they are priced properly, prepared well, and thoroughly marketed. They don't have to be new; they don't have to be completely upgraded, they can have some imperfections. But they do need to be thoroughly cleaned, and to bring top dollar need to have fresh paint where necessary, de-personalized, and staged. Even at this time of year, which is a bit slower than what we typically see in February, March and April, the results can be astounding. Here's a time-line for 1221 Highland Court: 9/19/14 - showings begin 9/21/14 - open house held - roughly 35 groups through 9/23/14 - broker tour from 9:30-1:00 - approximately 50 agents came 9/...

Friday was a great day for my buyers - their purchase of 1 Lilly Lane in San Carlos, CA recorded. They now have the keys, and are busy this weekend starting the move-in process and planning their future. Buying a home in San Francisco, San Mateo County and the Silicon Valley can be a daunting prospect for buyers today. There's not much inventory (although that is slowly improving) and many well-qualified buyers. To make matters worse, many of the buyers are all-cash buyers, which makes it difficult to compete for folks obtaining a loan. Almost every home receives multiple offers. Sometimes a shift in focus is needed: Do you really need 3 bedrooms, or would 2 bedrooms plus office space work? Must you really have the absolute top school district when you have no children? Is a big yard es...

It's not always easy to identify life-changing events, especially when one is in the middle of such an event, but the purchase of my first home certainly was life changing for me. It brought me to what I am doing today, working as a Realtor® with Today, Sotheby's International Realty, loving my career choice and with no intent to stop anytime soon. It was back in 1972, and San Carlos, CA was a smaller, quieter town than it is today. I was young, married, expecting our first child, planning to leave my job as an administrative assistant at San Francisco General Hospital's Trauma Center to become a stay-at-home mom. Big changes were in store for us. One day my husband and I walked into a real estate office in San Carlos, housed in the former train station office (now Depot Cafe) and annou...

Home prices in San Carlos, CA soared in 2013, with the median price of homes listed for sale on our multiple listing service up approximately 21% over 2012 levels, and 2012 was a year of strong appreciation, too. Low interest rates and a strong local economy resulted in many ready and able buyers. The problem encountered was one of low inventory; there simply weren't enough homes for the number of buyers wanting to settle in San Carlos. The ratio of the average sales price to list price as shown below gives a clear picture of the 2013 housing market in San Carlos. With sales prices 6%, 8%, 10% over list price for the last 11 months, you know it's a robust market. How will 2014 be for sellers and buyers in San Carlos CA? It isn't possible to predict, but as of late January there are only...

The condominium and townhouse market in San Carlos, CA saw prices soar in 2013. As reported by our Multiple Listing Service, 95 condos or townhouses closed escrow in San Carlos during 2013, with a median sales price of $668,000. That was up by 33% from 2012. Taking a longer-range view, this is what we see for the last 5 years: It is too early to predict what 2014 will bring, but as of this morning, January 22,  there are only 3 condos/townhouses listed for sale on our MLS. All 3 of these are 2-bedroom units, all priced similarly, around $600,000. Two are up in the hills with carport and open parking; one is near town, with parking for 2 cars in a gated garage.

Last week I reported on what happened with prices of single-family homes in San Mateo County and the Silicon Valley in 2013, and how that compared with 2012. In every town on which I reported, prices were up--way up--over 2012. Now we'll take a look at the condominium and townhouse sales in those same areas. This market segment had a wider swing of results, with lower-cost Pacifica soaring up 51% in one year, while high end Menlo Park obtained only 91% of 2012 median prices. However, Menlo Park's next door neighbor, Palo Alto, with even more costly properties, was up 6%. San Carlos and Belmont each saw appreciation of 33% and 32% respectively, a higher increase than in the single-family home segment. Sellers, if it makes sense for you to sell, you might wish to take advantage of the str...

When is a good time to sell a home in San Carlos, CA 94070? It could very well be today! San Carlos California has had an exteme shortage of homes for sale throughout 2013. The strong economy in the Silicon Valley, San Mateo County and San Francisco has produced many able and willing buyers, but we don't have nearly enough homes available for them to purchase. Yesterday evening, for example: there were a total of nine single-family homes (9!) listed in our Multiple Listing Service for sale in all of San Carlos, a town of approximately 29,000 residents! Of those nine homes, only one (1!) was listed under $1,000,000 -- it is listed at $989,000. Condominiums and townhouses share the similar trend -- there were two (2!) active listings yesterday. So, I encourage any homeowner in San Carlos ...
