Monday Market Update: San Mateo County Overview

You want it - we got it. Local real estate data is here!

It’s no secret that real estate is hyperlocal so this week’s blog is bringing you just that – dialed in data on the 26 cities & towns that make up San Mateo County. This is the latest available data compiled for the most recent completed month – July 2021. August stats should be available mid-September. All info is courtesy of the San Mateo County Association of Realtors® - find all the #samcarstats HERE.

While we want to let the data do the talking, we do want to point out a few thigs that stood out to us:


* The average list price received is a 110% despite reports of industry ‘softening’.


* Days on market is 16 – homes are still selling fast.


* Months of inventory in our county ranges from 0.2 to 3.7 while a balanced market is 5-6.


* The lowest median sale price in any city is $960,000 in Loma Mar while the highest median sale price is $15,500,000 in Atherton; San Mateo median sale price is now $2,100,000.


In short, the market is still strong and homes are still in demand. Any inventory increases you may hear about are good news – yet still not enough to overcome the Silicon Valley housing crisis. While slower home price acceleration has been noted both nationally and statewide, this is merely the moderation of a spike and not the bursting of a bubble.


If you have any questions at all about what the recent summer trends and fall projections means for you on a hyperlocal level – please do not hesitate to reach out!
