There have been reports in the local media lately about the real estate market on the Peninsula and the Valley leveling off and shifting from a seller’s market to more of a balanced market. As the above market data confirms, this is clearly not the case on the coast. The San Mateo Coastside has experienced continued strong demand for homes. Sale prices for homes on the coast are up over 19% from the same time last year on both an average and median price basis. Months of Inventory is holding steady at a slim 2 months and the key indicator Sold vs Asking Price stands at a very seller friendly 104.75%. That means buyers are still bidding up homes. My opinion is the relative value of homes here on the Coastside compared to elsewhere on the Peninsula is keeping things peachy for home sellers, at least for the time being.

You couldn’t ask for a better seller’s market than the one we currently have on the Coastside.  Prices for single family homes are now back up to pre-crash highs.  For sellers, all the data points look great.  Sales prices are up, homes are selling at light speed ,and multiple offers are often pushing prices well above the listing price.  The only drawbacks are for buyers.  Although new homes are coming onto the market faster, homes are selling even quicker.  The result is a super low inventory.  If you’re looking to sell your home, it doesn’t get a lot better than this. If you’re buyin,g make sure you find an experienced buyer’s agent to represent you.  Happy house hunting!
