Palo Alto Market Update, July 26th: Single Family Homes

As of today this is the snapshot of the Palo Alto single family home market:
121 Active listings
33 Pending sales

What does this mean? The inventory of active listings decreased by 1 and pending sales decreased by 3. This is virtually unchanged from last week when there was a huge decrease in pending sales. The fact that pending has stayed stable is a good sign. The over 2 million market has 37 active listings and 7 pending sales which is pretty much the same as last week with only a decrease of 3 in active listings and the same number of pending . Under 2 million there are 84 active listings and 33 pending sales, which is slightly better than last weeks numbers. My guess is that we have hit the doldrums of summer and we will not see much change in August except maybe a little less inventory which is typical for August.

Palo Alto Market Update, July 5th: Single Family Homes

Here's today's snapshot of the Palo Alto single family home market:

112 Active listings
50 Pending sales

What does this mean? The inventory of active listings decreased by 6 and pending sales are decreased by 7. The ratio of active to pending hasn't changed much but since this was a holiday weekend there were not a lot of new listings. Again, the over 2 million market is holding on with 37 active listings and 14 pending sales--almost unchanged from June 7th and June 26th . Under 2 million there are 75 active listings and 36 pending sales, putting the ratio at little less than to 1 to 2 which is not changing much this month. Overall, things are better than they were a few months ago, and the same compared to a few weeks ago with more realistic sellers and more qualified buyers. July is traditionally a busier selling time than June so it will be interesting to see if the improvement holds even further into the summer months. The inventory is less this week, so it will be interesting to see if this continues or if it is just a function of the holiday
