I haven't seen the house, but a 2/1 for 900K? Either this house is staged really well or somehow it appeals to a lot of people. Comparable listings on Walnut and Plymouth have been sitting on the market for months, and the one on Walnut for example has an extra 100 sq ft of space. That's pretty significant in a home of this size.

Thanks, Susan. I appreciate the kind words. Best of luck with the blog.

Bob, thanks for being so honest with our readers. I certainly appreciate that. Good job getting this home sold so quickly.

Escrow has been signed off, funded and will be on record tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.

I thought Bob Brendel was the listing agent?

Anyway, I find the honesty impressive, but wonder about discretion. I guess if the place has finished escrow, then no harm, no foul.

No problem. I understand the skepticism: All ten of these agents personally presented an offer for the purchase of 812 Cordilleras:

SC Agent

I am curious how you could know "as a fact" how many offers were presented when you were not the listing agent. Can you tell us how you know it as a **fact**

Is it any wonder why people dont trust some agents? I would hope that the offers submitted to the listing agent are confidential, including the number of them. Apparently not.

Bob

Why dont you just post the names of all 10 agents right here? Obivously, you have been telling all sorts of people that you had that many offers, it would good for you to substantiate it.

You already offered to reveal the names to a random person on this blog, so I dont think you can claim confidentiality as a concern.

For the record, I will be surprised if you respond and post the names.

I am thrilled that real estate is selling well in San Carlos. I know that the inventory has been low and interest in the schools is high, so it's not terribly surprising. Thanks SC and Bob for giving us confirmation on the offers. This is good information for buyers in that market.

I am the listing agent for 812 Cordilleras. If shill would like the name and number of all ten agents that personally presented offers, just give me a ring or email. All of my contact info is on my site.

Say what you want. I know for a fact that 812 Cordilleras had 10 offers after 4 days on the market, Arroyo had 8 offers in less than a week, and Alameda had multiples as well. I am NOT the listing agent in any of these, so I have no reason to inflate these numbers.

Why is this so hard to believe? At the time these homes were listed, there were only ~ 30 homes on the market in all of san carlos, very few of which were close to downtown. It's supply and demand ...right now the demand is much greater than the supply.

Its possible its true, but I tend to take things real estate agents say with a grain of salt.

His rationale that its caused by San Carlos' good schools and Laurel street is a bit daft. These didnt just develop in the last 6 months.

I got this info from www.sancarlosblog.com which is a realtors web site. I can't say how accurate it is. I am a homeowner in SC and am trying to decide whether to just remodel or buy a larger home so I try to track the market here. Here is a quote from this realtor's blog for what it is worth:
“Here we go again.” This was the phrase uttered last night by one of the most respected and veteran realtors in San Carlos. My listing at 812 Cordilleras had 10 offers last night after being on the market for 4 days. Earlier in the week Justine Ford’s listing on the Alameda had multiples. The week before, Maxine Dumas’ listing on Arroyo had at least 6. The week before that, Cashin’s listing on Birch had multiples as well. For those of us that monitor the San Carlos market on a daily basis, the sudden swelling of frustrated buyers trying to get into San Carlos is nothing short of alarming."

You are claiming that 10 different people offered on this house in a 4 day period.

BS, shill

Wow, that was quick - and 10 offers! Still, it should show as pending in both systems. Not that it matters, it appears to be off the market now for our readers' purposes. Thanks for the info.

Hi Susan - You were unable to find 812 Cordilleras because it is already sale pending. There were 10 offers and was listed for 4 days.
