First of all, that overhead picture of the estate looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale. It’s beautiful, and it’s probably the most expensive listing that I have found so far that has a last sale price that’s higher than the current listing price. Since this home’s first listing the price has been cut 2.6 million, but I think it’s still way out of reach for mere mortals. It should be interesting to see what it finally sells for.

This is a decrease of 33, or 4.6% from last month. It may be due to the fact that there are fewer listings now since the prime selling season is over. Additionally, a lot of homes were taken off market.

Woodside: 1
Total: 722 properties in trouble
As you can see, the number of troubled properties did not increase dramatically. Some homes and condos are actually priced close to rent equivalent so people are snatching those up quickly. I think a lot of inventory is still being withheld by the banks that own foreclosures because not a lot of these are actually foreclosures. Anyway, this also correlates with the San Mateo Realtor Association’s data that sales went up and inventory is reduced. Overall, this is a good thing for the real estate market. However, we will have to see if this trend lasts.
June 2008 Update Part 3 – San Bruno to Woodside
Here is the final part of the June 2008 update featuring the following cities.
City of San Bruno
San Bruno didn’t see a dramatic change in the number of troubled sellers, but there are over a dozen price reductions. Notably, 3771 Elston Dr has been reduced $110k in June so now it is the biggest loser by dollar amount. Check the raw data for all 63 properties.
Raw data: sanbruno630.csv

Sales are still quite brisk in San Carlos. The number of troubled sellers went down to 5. One of these homes at 948 Cherry was reduced into troubled territory, but it is still quite expensive.
Raw data: sancarlos630.csv
City of San Mateo

Total: 702 properties in trouble
At this rate, we will have 1000 troubled properties in 2 months. It seems that the sales rate of these properties is even lower than the non-troubled properties so being patient could snag you a good deal. The next half of the year should be interesting to watch.
How Does One Home’s Price Drop Affect an Entire Community?
As we have seen, many homes’ values are dropping in San Mateo. The most drastic cuts are seen in East Palo Alto and Daly City, which are considered the fringes of San Mateo. After six months I was actually able to find a short sale in Woodside. Woodside is a town hidden within many majestic and beautiful redwoods on the west side of 280. It also is home to Oracle CEO Larry Ellison’s Japanese style palace. This majestic property went on the market last year with no takers. I did see it on MLS last year but the price was concealed. A few days ago it was revealed that Larry did the next best thing. Since he is no longer using the property, he asked for its value to be reassessed. The lavish estate’s value was reduced from $173 million to $69.7 million and Ellison received more than $3 million in a tax refund from San Mateo County. Let’s see, this is a $103.3 million drop, or 59.7%. I think no other San Mateo Home Seller in Trouble listing could ever beat Ellison’s record.
After this happened, it was reported that the Portola Valley School District, which gets income from Woodside properties, will get a cut of $250,000 to $300,000 per year. This cut comes from just one home’s reassessment!
Of course, old Larry is not really a home seller in trouble per se. He has billions of dollars to spend, but if every rich person in Atherton, Burlingame, Menlo Park, and Hillsborough follows his lead. I think we may see more education funding cuts here in our lovely little county.
