What Does This Mean For Buyers?
For buyers looking for homes in San Mateo County, home prices have held steady for most of the year. Competition for homes has increased as overbidding for homes has increased over the last 12 months and homes are on the market for fewer days than at this time one year ago.
There will continue to be inventory challenges as sellers who may be inclined to sell will wait until interest rates fall before listing their home. This will cause inventory to remain at lower levels for the remainder of the year. This means buyers cannot be too picky or indecisive. Buyers should have a plan in place and be ready to act when a property is found.
What Does This Mean For Sellers?
The demand for single-family homes and condos continues and buyers are paying more than asking price for homes. While some markets have softened and interest rates are trending high, the San Mateo County real estate market is quite active. Slightly more single-family homes have been sold this year than one year ago, however, the condo market is trending lower in sales compared to last year.
Single-family home and condo owners can expect the current trends to continue for the remainder of the year. While the market has slowed slightly from one year ago, prices have stayed level and have not dropped significantly since December of last year. If sale prices increase, sellers who have been patient about listing their home may finally be motivated to do so.
