This is a short sale on a nice corner lot, but the price per square foot is still $100 above the median price per square foot for Pacifica.  Unfortunately, short sales rarely go through these days so it may be worth it just to wait.

I’ve driven by these condominiums many times.  They are on the top of the San Carlos hills so they all have a great view.    I’m not sure if they’re worth a million dollars, though.

This is a decent home in a nice area of San Carlos.  The pictures look like it was staged and there will be an open house this weekend on January 25th from 1pm to 4pm.   Even though it is a nice neighborhood it is still a bit too expensive at $698 per square foot so I expect this one to drop a bit more.

This Portola Valley home is on a huge tree covered lot and just recently cut its listing price by more than $350,000 from $2.049 million to $1.685 million. This may be worth a look for the uber rich though the house is quite small for the area. This is the first Portola Valley listing we have featured here.
