What Does This Mean For Buyers?
The good news for buyers is that single family home prices have been decreasing, however, there is less inventory available, which creates a very competitive buying environment. Also, for buyers, over bidding for properties is decreasing which should keep prices down until the spring buying season begins. The San Mateo real estate market is very dynamic and could experience rapid changes in pricing.
Buyers should take advantage of the decrease in single family home prices, with interest rates climbing, seizing the moment could possible save you thousands of dollars. While we expect these trends to continue over the next couple of months, prices may begin to increase as we move into the spring and summer months.
What Does This Mean For Sellers?
The market for single family homes and condos in San Mateo County still favors sellers. The market is currently going through a seasonal downswing in prices.
