Real Estate Inventory Continues Steady Upward Trend

Your weekly Redwood City real estate market snapshot.

The Redwood City real estate inventory has gone up to three months supply this week, and the number of active listings has edged up to 178. 

At the same time, both the number of pending sales and number of closed sales are on a downward trend, which is typical after the summer buying season.  The debt crisis in Europe and the weakened stock market also contributed to the slow down.

The distressed inventory remains stable in Redwood City, there are ten REO listings and 27 short sale listings this week, which is about 20% of the overall market.
