Podcast: The San Carlos Week In Review – 9/28/08

Welcome to the “San Carlos Week in Review” for the week of 9/28/08.   The “Week in Review” series is comprised of a weekly podcast, and a summary of new listings and home sales in San Carlos the prior week.  Between the two, you should get a great idea of what happened last week in San Carlos real estate!

In this week’s podcast you’ll hear:

1. Good News — the return of some fast sales.
2. The “recipe” for a healthy real estate market.

(Update:  I erroneously used the link to last week’s podcast when I first released this post — the correct link is now in place.   Thanks to my colleague Drew Morgan at Carlmont Associates for catching it!)
