As a Menlo Park Real Estate Agent I am always being asked, "How's the market in Menlo Park?" The answer is simple:
Not enough inventory, plenty of buyers.
There are currently 41 single family Menlo Park homes for sale up from 39 2 weeks ago.
There are currently 10 Menlo Park town homes/condos for sale the same as 2 weeks ago.
There are currently 41 pending sales of Menlo Park single family homes down from 47 2 weeks ago.
There are currently 9 pending sales of Menlo Park homes/Condos up from 6 2 weeks ago.
In May of 2013 there were 47 single family Menlo Park homes sold. The prices ranged from $450,000 to $4,395,000. The lowest priced home in Belle Haven is down $45,000 from April is significant and may show that the market is strating to level off. If you look at just the Menlo Park homes with Menlo Park schools the lowest price in April was $936,000 also down a little form April when no homes with Menlo Park schools sold under a million. This also may indicate that the market is starting to level off.
In May of 2013 there were 7 Menlo Park Town Homes/Condos sold. The prices ranged from $375,000 to $1,475,000. This is a high starting price point for condos as well. The lowest price condo that is not senior only housing was $690,000 for a 2 bedroom in Sharon Park, down 10K from April. This also points to a leveling off of the market.
This week the lowest price listing of a single family home with Menlo Park schools is $899,000 which is $200,000 lower than 2 weeks ago. It is too early to say but it is possible that all the signs are pointing towards a leveling off of the rapid appreciation that happened this year.
The inventory of single family homes for sale in Menlo Park is at historically low levels. I am hoping that as the summer progresses we will have more inventory. If you would like to search for homes for sale please feel free to visit my website for a custom search.
