The San Mateo housing market continues to show strong momentum as we head into the second quarter of 2025. For both buyers and sellers, understanding the latest data can help you make smart decisions in today’s fast-paced environment.
A low inventory level means demand is outpacing supply, solidifying San Mateo’s status as a seller’s market.
While slightly higher than last year, the increase is minimal, and homes remain in high demand.
Homes are moving quickly. Sellers can expect multiple offers within the first two weeks of listing.
The average home is selling for 5% above asking, reflecting competitive bidding among motivated buyers.
San Mateo continues to attract affluent buyers seeking high-end properties in desirable neighborhoods.
If you're considering listing your home, now is the time. Limited inventory and high buyer demand put you in a strong position to receive multiple offers—often above asking price.
In this competitive market, speed and preparation are key. Get pre-approved, work with a local expert, and be ready to act fast when the right home hits the market.
