Our market continues to favor buyers, especially in the higher price points (half the homes that closed escrow in Los Altos in December sold at or below $1,500,000.). Fortunately, prices are firming up a little and sales are up.
Could it be that we are starting to see a little real estate rebound locally? I think our real estate market is still slightly Bearish but the statistics indicate that the market does appear to be getting a little more active.
