Price acceleration hit its peak in October 2020 at a whopping 18% year-over-year and is now sitting at 10%, which is still objectively high. Interestingly, condo and townhome prices have been mixed over the same period. Though...

March 17, 2021 by

It was one year ago this month that the pandemic kicked off a series of event cancellations which effectively brought the Bay Area’s entertainment scene to a halt. This included the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade and the music, dancing and green-beer-fueled, in-person activities that normally surround it.

The trends continue. Sale prices of single-family homes in San Mateo County are continuing their strong climb, but not at the sky-high rates we saw in August through October of last year. Those rates were unsustainable – it isn’t a bad thing that they are no longer climbing that fast. A quick look at other metrics – inventory is still extremely low favoring sellers. Sale...
