San Mateo County real estate saw a strong Q2 market, though, generally speaking, not quite as competitive as the white-hot market in the first half of 2018. The median house sales price bounced back up to slightly exceed the previous peak in Q2 2018, and thus return to positive year-over-year appreciation after the small decline in Q1 2019.
The luxury home market was very strong – the stand out segment – surging to dramatic new highs in sales volumes this spring, mirroring a similar dynamic in San Francisco.
The market typically begins to slow down for summer after the spring selling season ends, though homes certainly continue to sell.
