December saw a steep seasonal slowdown in home sales compared to November.  Year over year sales also slowed 26%.  However, the real story on the coast continues to be inventory.  At just 2 months of inventory we were down 33 percent from last year.  The reason appears to be quicker sales, just 33 days on average.   Sales prices per square foot edged up slightly  in December versus November but jumped nearly 20% from the previous year.  On average, sellers are still getting more than their asking price indicating continued strong demand for homes on the coastside.  Hopefully the new year will usher in more inventory for those desiring to live in this beautiful area.

Activity on the coast visibly picked up in January with a large influx of new inventory hitting the market pushing up the available supply of home to 4.4 months, a 63% increase over last month and 69% up from this time last year.  For the most part sales trends followed seasonal patterns for the slower winter months.  However, interesting points to note are the 24% and 25% annual increases in average sale price and price per square foot respectively.  Also, the sold to asking price ratio also spiked up in January to 102.9%, potentially indicating strong demand for the available inventory.  This reverses a multi month slide in this important ratio.  Along with a months of inventory reading of greater than 6 months.  A sold vs asking price below 100% favors buyers vs sellers.

 

San Mateo Coastside – September 2013 Market Update

The month of September started out with a bang on the Coastside as a wave of new supply hit the local real estate market.  An increase in the supply of new homes is not unusual as prices rise as the have on the coast.  The number of homes active or pending this month increased a whopping 33.3 percent to 236 homes from 177.  Months of available inventory increased an even greater 48.5% as the seasonal slowdown in closed sales volume in September generated less sales activity to offset the increased supply.  In spite of the increase in homes on the market, well priced homes continue to move briskly.  According to data provided by MLS listings data, the median number of days on the market for a  single family home on the coast is still a low 19 days, persisting a trend we have seen all year.  Prices also remain strong especially in the sub $800,000 price range resulting in a stronger median sales price in September, up 5.3% over the previous month.  All in all, the market on the Coastside remains healthy as the dominant sellers market continues to moderate creating a more balanced environment where buyers have more choices and well priced homes sell quickly.

San Mateo Coastside – August 2013 Market Update

Sold Price vs. Asking Price 101.6% 102.3% -0.7%

 

August was another strong month for residential real estate on the San Mateo coast.  Although the number of homes sold and the total dollar volume of homes sold decreased slightly from July to August, this could just as likely be the result of the slower sales activity common in late summer as it could be often touted external factors such as higher interested rates.  Interesting was the sharp move up in the price per square foot ratio last month to $475 a square foot.  According to MLS Listings data, this is the highest price per square foot ratio we’ve seen on the coast in over five years.  The average sale price for homes on the coast also increased slightly to $783, 700 from $781,600 last month.  However, the median sale price dropped to $670,750 or 9.4% from July indicating a higher mix of lower priced homes.  The higher prices also brought in more sellers to increase the months of inventory to 4.0 months.  This is the most inventory we’ve had on the coast since the market shifted last spring.  The premium buyers are willing to pay moderated in August from 102.3% to 101.6% perhaps signaling  a subtle shift to a more balanced market.

Although still a strong seller’s market, the market did show signs of weakening in July.  Markedly higher mortgage rates, combined with declines in the affordability index were two of the likely culprits.  The San Mateo coast is still a great value relative to many of county’s higher priced areas.  Just how much of a value?  We will explore that further in a subsequent post.

June was another strong month for real estate on the coast although some signs of moderation may have begun to appear.  The average sale price for homes in June was $826,645.  This was a solid 16.6% increase over the previous month resulting in a 7.7% rise in total dollar volume.  However, the median June sale price of $710,000 represented only a 2.2% increase over May.  The average price per square foot for homes sold in June of $455/sf was also virtually flat with May at $456/sf.  The total number of homes sold in June decreased from 66 to 61.  This indicates a skew toward higher priced home sales for the month.  The number of homes active or pending, months of inventory, and average days on the market (closed sales) all increased by double digit percentages, something to keep an eye on going forward.  This market update includes single family homes in Pacifica, Montara, Moss Beach, El Granada, Half Moon Bay, Pescadero, La Honda, and San Gregorio.
