San Mateo February 2025 Real Estate Market Update – What Buyers & Sellers Need to Know 

The San Mateo County real estate market remains fast-paced and competitive as we move into February 2025. With low inventory, rising home prices, and strong buyer demand, both buyers and sellers need to be informed about the latest trends. Here’s an in-depth look at key market data and what it means for you.

Key Market Metrics – February 2025

📉 Months Supply of Inventory: 1.37
A low months supply of inventory (MSI) indicates a seller’s market, as there aren’t enough homes available to meet buyer demand. With only 1.37 months of inventory, homes in San Mateo are selling quickly, leaving buyers with limited options.

📈 12-Month Change in Months of Inventory: +0.74%
While inventory levels have increased slightly year-over-year, this small shift isn’t enough to significantly impact the seller-favored market. Buyers may see a few more listings available, but competition remains high.

Median Days on Market: 10 Days
Homes are selling fast! The median time on the market is just 10 days, meaning well-priced homes are attracting offers almost immediately. If you’re a buyer, be prepared to act quickly and submit a competitive offer.

💰 Sold to List Price Percentage: 105.9%
On average, homes are selling for 5.9% above the asking price, reflecting strong demand and frequent multiple-offer situations. Sellers are benefiting from competitive bidding, while buyers must be strategic with their offers to secure a home.

🏡 Median Sold Price: $1,688,000
Home values continue to hold strong, with the median sold price at $1.688 million. This price point showcases the desirability of San Mateo, where buyers are willing to pay top dollar for limited inventory.

What Does This Mean for Buyers & Sellers?

For Sellers:
✅ Homes are selling fast and for over the asking price—now is an excellent time to list your home and maximize your return.
✅ Limited inventory means less competition among sellers, increasing the likelihood of multiple offers.
✅ Buyers are highly motivated, making well-prepared homes even more attractive in this competitive market.

For Buyers:
✅ With homes selling quickly, be prepared to make strong offers—bidding wars are still common.
✅ Get pre-approved for a mortgage before house hunting to increase your chances of success.
✅ Consider working with a local real estate expert who understands the market and can help you navigate competitive conditions.
