Bigger Not De Rigueur in Redwood City
While Redwood City certainly has its fair share of large homes and McMansions, it appears that the new listings are of the more modest version. Of the 58 newbies that came on the market between June 1st and 14th, 86% are under that magic 2,500 square foot number. (Remember my Rant of the Week, and the Dwell reader who insinuated that anything under 2500 sf is considered “modest” and anything less is impractical?) In fact 20% of these new listings are under 1000 square feet, which would be positively miniscule to above-mentioned house hog.
Pricewise, 28 or 48% of these new listings are in the $500-999,000 range, with 8 under $500,000 and 22 over the $1,000,000 mark. Three bedroom homes still dominate with 26 listings, while 12 have 2 bedrooms, and 20 have 4 or 5 bedrooms. The most popular homes these days are on the west side, under $1mil, having 3 bedrooms, so today I will concentrate on those new listings that are under 2500 sf.
