The Almaden market has been improving, even as we move into the holidays. I sold my listing at 7163 Glenview Drive before it even came on the mls. We held it open Thanksgiving weekend and had 15 parties through on Saturday and 20 on Sunday. Also, many sellers have been taking their homes off the market which has helped in reducing inventory.
