San Carlos real estate Market Report.

Information and statistics on the latest trends in the San Carlos real estate market, updated for April 2026. *

San Carlos is seeing modest listing activity, with 31 homes on the market in February 2026 and 29 new listings. Buyers moved quickly, putting 23 homes under contract and driving the median time on market down to just 13 days. Inventory in the city is tight at 1.8 months of supply, reinforcing current seller leverage.

Prices have been responding to this brisk pace, with the typical home value reaching about $2,850,000, up 18.13% from a year ago and 24.59% month over month. The median list price, however, dipped slightly to $2,500,000, reflecting some adjustment even as demand stays strong.

Many properties are still selling at a premium, with about 64.71% closing above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio near 1.06, while only about 12.9% of listings saw a price drop. Compared with San Mateo County’s typical home value of roughly $1,585,000, San Carlos sits at a much higher price point, and both areas are projected to see values edge higher next month, including a forecast of about $3,131,250 for San Carlos. With inventory expected to tick up to 33 homes and the market gauge firmly in a Seller's Market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from using Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local agent who understands these dynamics.

“Due to circumstances beyond anybody's control, Judy did an excellent job in getting the condo sold. I had HOA insurance problems and title problems when trying to sell my mom's condo. Judy was excellent during a rather long time period getting these problems fixed. She was able to find us a cash buyer and worked exceptionally with us during this process. Mind you, we live in Kentucky so much of what on was via email. We did all the paperwork over the internet, and she was outstanding in her help to us. On a scale of 1 to ten, she was way above that. My wife and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Side note. We had a title business in Kentucky, so we are very familiar with the whole process. She is excellent! Don and Paula Block.”

“Angelina Rantissi was very professional and knowledgeable. She guided me through the whole process seamlesly. She said at the very beginning that she was available at any time and not to hesitate to call. This was very important to me, as I live in Maryland and the 3 hour time difference could have been problematic. She helped me find handymen and movers. I highly recommend her. Thank you Angelina !”

“Jim was the first realtor we worked with who actually felt like he was on OUR team - he is very experienced, reliable and the right amount of proactive. Ultimately, Jim helped us buy our very favorite house we saw - and helped us actually get a deal and not overpay, which was important to us (and very hard to do in the bay area!). Throughout the process, Jim also proactively sent us listings which were a great match for what we were looking for. In terms of actually getting the transaction done, Jim is clearly extremely experienced and was very helpful and professional at every step. He is also hyper responsive and reliable, which we really appreciated, and even helped us close over the holidays. Thank you Jim!”

“We worked with Payal to purchase our home in the Bay Area and our experience was fantastic. Payal is a great communicator and was always quick to respond to texts, phone calls, and emails for any questions we had. Although we were already familiar with the home purchase process, she was always available to answer any questions we had. She helped us view several homes until we found the perfect one for us and was always available when we needed her. She did a great job negotiating on our behalf during the entire purchase process and we always felt she had our back. Overall we really enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to all our friends, family, and neighbors! Thanks Payal!”

“We are so grateful to have had Amy Thomas as our realtor along with Alex Pallios our loan officer. Amy from the beginning was very friendly, patient, and compassionate. She worked extremely hard to get us that dream home that we have always wanted. She fought tooth and nail to counter our offers & she won!! We were so grateful for an awesome experience throughout this whole home experience process. This was a great experience and we will be sure to refer to our friends and family. They truly made the process go smooth and helped us move out in just a little over 30 days!”

“At our first meeting Gautam had an accurate understanding of my neighborhood and it's surroundings. After walking through the house and the yards he gave a clear assessment of our home's value and the reasons why. He also had an idea of what types of buyers would likely show interest, and how to market our home to them. He had an excellent advertising package in mind. One day after being on the market we received a full-price offer. It fell through, but in line were two more full-price offers. The second potential buyer became the buyer. There were three issues with the property that arose and he handled them all. That was especially helpful as we were already out-of-state. The house sold without further issues. Gotham was easy to work with, and his expertise gave me confidence that things would be well-handled. I recommend Gautam highly, and would recommend him to family and friends.”

“Mr. Holland was very goal oriented and practical. He allowed us to choose amongst three plans and provided some of the best crews to complete that plan. He wasn't a hands-off agent but actually got his hands dirty to help out. It shows he enjoys what he does and gives his best. Anyone who works with him would not be disappointed. Thrilled he took us on.”

“Efficient and non-intrusive service. They recommended an agent, Craig Ackerman, who got us our dream home after only 3 weeks, 4 house-viewings, and one offer later. We'd gone through 3 ineffective agents over a 4 month period before this, so it was much appreciated!”

“We felt Paul Kaplan Group appeals to people who are interested in mid-century design, and would attract those people to our property. Stephanie was given high praise by some friends of ours who had recently bought and sold property with her. Stephanie was terrific, very proactive in keeping us informed every step of the way, always very responsive to any questions we had. We are extremely pleased with the results she got for us! I wish we could give her a higher rating than excellent, she really exceeded expectations in all the categories above.”
