Palo Alto Market Update, May 1st: Single Family Homes


As of today this is the snapshot of the Palo Alto single family home market:


    148 Active listings
    47 Pending sales
    10  Closed sales since April 22 
    What does this mean? The inventory of active listings is not increasing as much as pending sales are increasing. We are now at a 1 to 3 pending to active ratio which is not too bad. Again, the over 2 million market is a little better with 51 active listings and 10 pending sales. Under 2 million there are 98 active listings and 37 pending sales, less than a 1 to 3 ratio of pending to active, which is definitely improving. It is also possible that increase in the stock market is also freeing up some cash which is helping the buyers’ down payment problems along with the easing up of down payment requirements. Overall, things are a little better than they were a few months ago with more realistic sellers and  more qualified buyers. 
    Solds will be separate again.
