The San Carlos real estate market has improved in every critical category used to gauge market conditions. Since hitting bottom in 2009, the San Carlos real estate market has had a steady climb back, recapturing a portion of the loss it experienced in the downturn which hit San Carlos in October of 2008 and lasted for most of 2009.
This post contains four tables measuring the strength of the San Carlos real estate market:

I also receive many inquiries on how Belmont stacks up against San Carlos. Both towns are similar in size, right next door to each other and both offer outstanding schools. Here are the same numbers of the same periods of time for Belmont:

is anyone else concerned about the water rates we’re paying this last year? how about the politics of declaring a “drought” year which affects the rates water companies can charge, when reservoirs last year exceeded 90% of capacity?
how about the vastly different rates paid by neighboring communities on the peninsula?
i noticed that there is a lot of public discussion, outcry, etc about extra parcel taxes but these are miniscule in comparison to the “water tax” which is an extra $1000 to $1500 per year in water costs for an average sized lot in San Carlos.
Is water more expensive in San Carlos? I’m not arguing, but am genuinely curious. I’m on a 7k sq ft lot and we pay about $600 a year in water, which I thought was reasonable. Are we paying considerably more for water than Belmont or RWC?
