The San Mateo County Single Family Home Real Estate Market continues to thrive as a robust sellers' market. With limited inventory, the price per square foot of homes sold has been consistently rising due to high demand and insufficient supply (refer to the chart below for detailed insights).
The San Mateo County Condo & Townhome Real Estate Market is also experiencing a sellers' market, characterized by a scarcity of available inventory (see chart below for further details). However, it is worth noting that this market differs from the single-family home market, as the price per square foot has yet to show signs of significant growth. As a result, this presents a favorable opportunity for buyers to acquire properties at comparatively lower prices.
As interest rates decline, we anticipate a surge in new buyers entering the market, driving up prices.
For Home Buyers, we advise assessing your individual circumstances and determining whether it is more prudent to wait for home prices to increase while benefiting from lower mortgage rates or to make a purchase now and consider refinancing (transitioning to a new loan with reduced rates) when mortgage rates decrease.
Homeowners contemplating selling their properties have a unique chance to capitalize on the current buyer demand and low inventory. Alternatively, it is advisable to formulate a well-prepared plan to seize the opportunity once rates begin to decrease. If you are selling your current home and intend to purchase a new one, it is crucial to factor in the purchase side of the equation when making your decision.
