January 2021 Almaden Valley Real Estate Market Update
The last seven months have been quite unusual for Almaden Valley real estate, to say the least. We have seen a less-than-usual winter slow-down as far as sales go, but there has been NOTHING usual about this market. The number of listings offered for sale on the MLS is as low as we’ve seen them in a long while, and they’ve been lagging way behind the numbers of pending and sold listings for the better part of a year. This is most likely due to the fact that a large number of homes are being sold by agents in a “pre-market” manner.
The takeaway we have here is that inventory is critically low. The Almaden Valley real estate market has about .6 months of inventory, and homes are tending to sell for above list price. The average price per square foot has edged up to $751/sqft which may be a market record. It is DEFINITELY a seller’s market.

October 2020 Almaden Valley Real Estate Market Update
The Almaden Valley real estate market has been on a wild ride since summer. From June on, we’ve seen an almost manic pace in home sales, with a sustained high number of sold homes that we haven’t seen any time in the past two years. The number of homes coming on the market has been outpaced by the number sold for the past several months as well, setting us up for some pretty spirited competition among buyers for the available inventory. We can see this happening when we look at the average sold price, which has reached new highs this month as well.
2020 thus far has also been unpredictable insofar as the pandemic and its surprising effect of bolstering the market. Generally speaking, we expect to see the Almaden Valley real estate market quiet down from summertime highs as we slip into the holiday season, but we aren’t seeing that this year. It’s an unusual market, that is for sure, and one where sellers are definitely seeing some satisfaction. If you are thinking about selling your home, now is a good time to put it on the market. Let me show you how I can help you take advantage of this unique market!
September 2020 Almaden Valley Real Estate Market Update
The Almaden Valley real estate market ended September in an upswing. Generally speaking, we expect to see the market cool a bit as the holiday season approaches, but last month logged a slight upswing in average sale price and just a very minor decrease in the number of homes sold (one, to be exact.) As the number of available listings to sales shows, our market is experiencing a keen shortage of inventory the likes of which we haven’t seen since mid-2018. With mortgage rates at rock-bottom, buyers seem undeterred by the pandemic and now is a great time to put a home on the market to take advantage of the low inventory. If you are thinking about selling, contact me and let me show you how I can help you make the best deal in our unprecedented market!
