Home Prices in San Mateo Expected to Rise

Real estate website forecasts prices to increase for 2013 in all but one Bay Area zip code

Home prices in San Mateo will rise more than 6 percent this year, according to a study conducted by an online real estate site.

Zillow.com expects home prices in 244 of the 245 zip codes in the Bay Area to rise in 2013. The only exception will be the 94515 zip code in Calistoga, according to a story in the San Francisco Chronicle.

The story suggests that the primary reason for the price increase is the tight inventory, a lack of homes for sale on the market.

With the increase, prices in more than half of San Mateo neighborhoods will be just shy of peak prices of a few years ago.

Here is the individual zip code data for the San Mateo area.

Zip Code Dec. 2012 median Dec. 2013 projection Increase % decrease from peak price 94402 $1,101,200 $1,196,990.46 8.7%  -4 percent 94403 $769,400 $823,048.92 7% -9 percent 94401 $518,100 $552,542.25 6.6% -25.5 percent

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
