Four weeks ago sixteen Palo Alto homes were changing hands off the open market. This week there are two — the thinnest supply line among the nine luxury towns, with nothing added in the past seven days. The activity moved elsewhere: Woodside and Menlo Park each added three, Saratoga two, and Menlo Park now carries the most inventory of the nine at eight. When supply gets this thin, buyers stop winning by seeing more houses and start winning by knowing earlier which one is about to move — and sellers have to rethink what actually makes theirs scarce. That question runs through everything below.


This Week in Off-Market

440 off-market homes across the Bay Area, 123 added this week.

Buying at $10M to $14M in Atherton — Why Did Every One of These Homes Close Below Asking, and What Should I Be Marking Down at a Showing?

Atherton recorded 31 closings last quarter at a median 97.1% of original list price. Above $10M, discounting is structural rather than opportunistic. This piece separates the flaws money can fix from the ones that mark a property down permanently.

My Bay Area House Has Been Listed Three Months With Nothing to Show — Can I Change Agents If I Signed an Exclusive Listing Agreement?

Palo Alto single-family homes went pending in a median of eight days last quarter, so three months on the market is rarely the market’s fault. Withdrawing, cancelling, and letting a listing expire are three different acts — and the safety clause outlasts all of them.
