Sales Drought on the Mid-Peninsula

While there was an increase in listings during the period of January 28th to February 11th (see the post “The Floodgates Have Opened“), there was a severe decrease in the sales reported for that period, as well as the week prior. I was completely underwhelmed and disheartened, as I am sure all sellers out there are; only 19 SFRs in the tri-city area in that three-week period, ranging in price from $406,000 to $1,750,000. Thirteen of the homes sold for less than asking, with a range of -.25 to -19%, three sold at asking, and three sold for over. The big winner was a home in San Carlos that sold for 20% over asking!

I’ve seen lots of pending sales in the last few weeks, so I imagine that this drought isn’t a trend, but it is disconcerting nonetheless. Here are the recent sales:
