Homes Listed and Sold in Palo Alto - Week of 5/25/2012 (Published on Fridays)

Going into the Labor Day weekend, Palo Alto real estate market listing activity was low.  Somehow it seems that Facebook IPO took wind out of the sails and listing dwindled comparing with the last week.  The new contracts however continued at the level similar to previous weeks - see pending sales section below.  We hope for another large set of new listing coming to the market next week.

This week in numbers:

  • 9 homes were listed this week comparing with 29 last week.  Same week last year 13 new homes were listed.  The inventory of homes available for sale dropped to 71 units, 10 less than last week.
  • 17 new contracts were accepted this week, just one less than a week ago.  Same week last year 22 homes went into pending state.
  • Only 15 escrows were closed this week and 17 homes change owners same week a year ago.
  • Only 3 homes failed to sell and were taken off the market.

If you are planning to sell your home in 2012, now is the time to plan to prepare your home and pick the best sales strategy for you.  Contact Elena or Michael Talis at 650.766.6100 for professional advice and consultation.

Homes Listed and Sold in Palo Alto - Week of 5/18/2012 (Published on Fridays)

The market kicked into high gear after the Mothers Day with almost record number of listings.  Note that relatively low number of closed transactions is due to low inventories we experienced in mid-April.  The week in numbers:

  • 18 new contracts were accepted this week while a year ago 26 homes went into pending state.
  • Only 10 escrows were closed this week and 18 homes change owners same week a year ago.
  • Only 2 homes failed to sell and were taken off the market.

If you are planning to sell your home in 2012, now is the time to plan to prepare your home and pick the best sales strategy for you.  Contact Elena or Michael Talis at 650.766.6100 for professional advice and consultation.

Homes Listed and Sold in Palo Alto - Week of 5/4/2012 (Published on Fridays)

The pace of the new listing slowed down this week.  And while we hear a lot of rumors about new upcoming listings, these homes haven't hit the market yet.  The week in numbers:

  • 20 homes were listed this week, 17 single family homes and 3 condos.  It is 10 less than last week.  Same week last year only 13 new homes were listed.  The inventory of homes available for sale dropped to 62 units.
  • 21 new contracts were accepted this week reflecting the increase of inventory.  A year ago 25 homes went into pending state.
  • 9 escrows were closed this week while 21 homes change owners same week a year ago.
  • 6 homes failed to sell and were taken off the market.

If you are planning to sell your home in 2012, now is the time to plan to prepare your home and pick the best sales strategy for you.  Contact Elena or Michael Talis at 650.766.6100 for professional advice and consultation.

Homes Listed and Sold in Palo Alto - Week of 4/27/2012 (Published on Fridays)

This was the most active listing week in Palo Alto since week of April 15th of 2011.  The inventory jumped to 71 homes available for sale.  With the demand for housing being so strong lately, I think the market will be absorb these new arrival with no problems.  Another couple weeks like this, however, will put a damper on the price growth.

The week in numbers:

  • 30 homes were listed this week, 24 single family homes and 6 condos.  It is 5 more than last week.  Same week last year 25 homes were put on the market.  The inventory increased by 8 homes this week reaching 71 units available for sale setting the high mark for the year.
  • 18 new contracts were accepted this week vs. 16 last week.  A year ago 28 homes went into pending state.
  • 17 escrows were closed this week while 13 homes change owners same week a year ago.
  • 3 homes failed to sell and were taken off the market.

If you are planning to sell your home in 2012, now is the time to plan to prepare your home and pick the best sales strategy for you.  Contact Elena or Michael Talis at 650.766.6100 for professional advice and consultation.

Homes Listed and Sold in Palo Alto - Week of 4/20/2012 (Published on Fridays)

The market starts to bloom together with arrival of spring weather.  Reports of increased real estate sales activities and dropping inventories are coming from all parts of Bay Area.  Palo Alto is no exception and we see increased number of new contracts as number of listings coming to the market increased.

The week in numbers:

  • 25 homes were listed this week, 9 more than last week.  Same week last year only 12 homes were put on the market.  There is currently 63 homes listed for sale in Palo Alto - the highest number since the week of 11/18/2011.
  • 16 new contracts were accepted this week vs. 10 last week.  A year ago 20 homes went into pending state.
  • 14 escrows were closed this week, 9 more than last week.  21 homes change owners same week a year ago.  Keep in mind that closed escrows reflect selling activities and contracts accepted about 30 days back from the close of escrow.
  • 2 homes failed to sell and were taken off the market.

If you are planning to sell your home in 2012, now is the time to plan to prepare your home and pick the best sales strategy for you.  Contact Elena or Michael Talis at 650.766.6100 for professional advice and consultation.

Homes Listed and Sold in Palo Alto - Week of 3/16/2012 (Published on Fridays)

This week the number of new contracts really got our attention - 23 new contracts were accepted and homes went into pending state.  A slight increase in number of new listings boosted the sales activity both for single family homes and for condos.  Multiple offers dominate Palo Alto real estate market with contract terms giving the winning edge to the lucky buyers.  It is becoming more common to see offers with minimal contingencies and with close of escrow in 21 days even with financing.

The week in numbers:

  • 11 homes were listed this week, 9 single family homes and 2 condos.  The level of new listing dropped from 16 new units last week and significantly lower than the same week last year when 22 homes were newly listed.  There are currently 39 properties available for sale in Palo Alto, both single family homes and condos.
  • 23 new contracts were accepted contributing to the drop in inventory.  This is an increase from 12 new contracts last week and 21 a year ago same week.
  • 10 escrows were closed this week, two more than last week.
