Updating San Mateo’s shadow inventory report for July, I’m wondering what shadow inventory'
The Peninsula never seems to fit into what is being reported for the rest of the nation’s real estate news. And for now shadow inventory isn’t an exception. It has created some pretty heated conversation amongst realtors and economists: Does it exist or not'

As you can imagine I’ve gotten a few comments on this post. Commissions is a tricky topic and can start some heated conversations.
A couple of friends said they charge 6 percent. They’re worth it and should get it. We’re not supposed to talk specifics in real estate because it could be considered price fixing.

Whenever someone asks me how’s the market in San Mateo, the first thing I always say is “It depends.” It’s never the answer people want to hear but real estate is local – so local you have to focus on how the market is by neighborhood.
