This is a brand new listing in Atherton that is listing for 4% off its 2000 price.  It is open on 9/21 and 9/28 from 1:30 to 4:30pm.  I guess 4% isn’t that bad of a loss.

This is one of the few Foster City homes listing for under its last sale price.  It is currently priced about 5% above the median price per square foot.  Since most properties in Foster City are townhomes and condos, it is easier to use price per square foot as a measurement of the properties’ prices.  This home is open this and next Sunday.

This home is in the Parkside neighborhood of San Mateo.  It is east of the 101, but it is very close to Foster City & Bridgepointe Mall.  It’s not a fancy neighborhood, but if you drive down Norfolk most of the homes look fairly clean and nice.    Unfortunately, it is still $500k so you need a household income of $166k to safely afford it.   Anyway, this home is open this weekend from 1 to 4pm.
