“Working with Angelina was one of the best decisions I made throughout the home buying process. From day one, she struck the perfect balance between professionalism and genuine personal care. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and always took the time to make sure I understood every step of the process. What impressed me most was how available she was. No matter the time or situation, I always felt like I was her number one client. She responded quickly, stayed ahead of potential issues, and never left me wondering what came next. She was also incredibly aggressive when it mattered most. Whether it was negotiating, coordinating with other parties, or solving last-minute challenges, she did whatever was needed in the moment to keep things moving forward and protect my interests. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, hardworking, responsive, and genuinely invested in her clients long after the transaction is over.”

Monthly Pricing Trends for San Mateo County
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for San Mateo County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).
Inventory in San Mateo County has tightened, with about 1,250 active listings in July and levels down roughly 6 percent from a month earlier and nearly 7 percent from last year. Contract activity has cooled month over month, as homes sold slipped about 10 percent and pending sales fell 13 percent, even though both measures are still slightly higher than a year ago.
Pricing is adjusting to this slower recent pace, with the typical home value down nearly 6 percent from June and about 1 percent lower than last year. List prices are following a similar pattern, off almost 8 percent month over month and 3 percent year over year, yet more than half of homes still sell above asking and the average sale-to-list ratio remains above 104 percent.
Time on market has inched up to a median of 19 days, rising roughly 27 percent from last month and 9 percent compared with a year ago, but supply is still lean at just 1.5 months versus 3.3 months across California. Conditions continue to favor sellers overall, even as buyers gain a bit more breathing room from the recent slowdown in prices and sales. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate this fast, high-priced environment or a seller seeking to maximize strong demand, Agent Pronto can connect you with an agent who understands the San Mateo County market.

“Working with Jason Hoffman was one of the best decisions we made. He helped us sell our condo and guided us through the purchase of our first home in Moorpark, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Jason was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He made what could have been a stressful process feel organized and manageable by keeping us informed every step of the way. We always knew what to expect and felt confident because he was looking out for our best interests. Jason's marketing of our condo was exceptional, and his negotiation skills helped us achieve a great result on both the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home. He was always available to answer our questions, offer honest advice, and make sure every detail was handled. What impressed us most was how much he genuinely cared about us, not just as clients, but as people. We never felt like just another transaction. His dedication, communication, and attention to”
“Adora Lazaro is very professional. We are very happy with our experience with her. We sold the house quickly .In fact , we are selling another house and want her help again. Steve and Maria King”
“Judy Bohlen did an excellent job of getting my condo sold & keep me informed of the progress when we had an offer. Russ Davis”
“We had a short timeline to sell our home and some last-minute surprises, but Jim navigated the process with efficiency and professionalism and got the job done. We're thrilled with the result and would be happy to work with Jim again or recommend him to anyone looking for great service at a fair price.”
“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!”
“I was completely lost, no idea how or what to do, Jimmy walked me through all of it and I am completly satisfied with the outcome”
“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.”
“You recommended 2 agents, both of whom contacted me but Tyron did so within a few hours and we hit it off and he got the job. Thank you for the excellent recommendation!”
“It was a pleasure to deal with Louis in regards to the sale of my property.”
“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!”
“Wonderful experience!! They were experienced and professional and prompt!!”
“We just bought our first home. I had no idea where to find a realtor to work with. I'm so glad I found Agent Pronto. They put me in contact with Liliana who is amazing! I would highly recommend this service to anyone!”
“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.”
“We could not have asked for a better realtor to sell our home. Jennifer was amazing!”
