The overall Almaden Valley real estate market continues its gradual improvement. The number of available properties dropped quite a bit, from 96 to 85 over the past week, while the number of pending listings increased from 33% to 35%. Active traditional (ie non-distressed) listings dropped from 89 last Monday to 79 this Monday, while the percentage under contract remained at 26%. Although it is impossible to say what caused the number of available properties to drop, it is quite likely that this past holiday weekend, the last hurrah of the summer season, played a role.

There wasn’t much change in the real estate market this past week. The number of available single family homes decreased slightly, from 97 last Monday to 96 this Monday. The percentage under contract also decreased slightly, from 34% to 33% in the same time frame. For traditional (ie non-distressed) properties, the number of available listings increased one, from 88 last week to 89 this week, and the percentage under contract decreased slightly, from 27% to 26%. Interest rates inched up a tiny bit, which may cause a few fence sitters to jump into the market.
