San Carlos is the final mid-peninsula city we are going to talk about this week.  It's a charming town between Belmont and  Redwood City.  What I like so much about San Carlos is its downtown which is filled with locally owned shops and restaurants.  The train station, sitting along El Camino Real, was built in the late 1800's and is a wonderful landmark for the city. Like the six other cities I've written about this past week, they too are at the Cool Buyer's level in our Altos Research report.  The median price of homes for sale last week was at $1,125,000 and the average days on the market was 65.  About a third of the homes on the market have seen price reductions. San Carlos has two distinct areas.  The older part of town is in the low lands, where it tends to be a little bit warme... 10/29/2007

The final community I'll report on this round is San Carlos.  It's one of my favorite towns on the Peninsula with a vibrant downtown made up of locally own shops and restaurants.  The community was built up in the low lands before and after WWII.  The homes in the hills went up in the 1960's and later.  There are great views from the hills and the weather is almost perfect because the fog generally stays up in the hills west of 280. San Carlos sits west of 101 and east of 280.  Belmont is it's northern neighbor and Redwood City is it's southern. The highest priced home for sale in San Carlos last week was $2,975,000 and the least was $599,516.  The average days on the market was 60 and there were 58 homes for sale.  The most homes sold last week were around $1,099,000 and there were 6 t... 09/05/2007

1445 Greenwood Avenue in San Carlos, listed by Coldwell Banker, takes the cake.  It is a well laid out 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home with nearly 1,800 square feet in the house on more than a 5,000 square foot lot in the prized White Oaks section of San Carlos.  Priced at $1,150,000 it is a must see for anyone thinking about moving and for whom the basic parameters work.  From the front door with its rich fuscia color and sparkling brass kickplate to the well cared for and updated interior, this home is highly appealing.  Excellent schools add to the mixture to make it an attractive alternative to Palo Alto or Menlo Park.    Categories: 09/01/2007
