Single-family homes · MLSListings · Updated October 16, 2026. This snapshot summarizes current inventory. Contact me for individual listings and availability.
See how many homes are available and how many are already in escrow within each price range. This helps put your search—or your selling plans—in the context of the homes buyers are considering.
Percentages show homes in escrow as a share of active and in-escrow listings in each price range. They describe the current snapshot, not the likelihood that an individual home will sell.
When a price range contains fewer than 4 listings, we show counts rather than percentages. A few homes can change the picture considerably.
Citywide numbers are a starting point. This breakdown helps you see where homes are available and where buyers have already made a move.
| Neighborhood | Available | In escrow | Median beds · size |
|---|---|---|---|
| El Camino to Alameda | 8 | 2 | 5 bed 8,664 sq ft |
| Middlefield to El Camino Atherton | 4 | 3 | 4 bed 2,700 sq ft |
| Lindenwood Area | 6 | 1 | 7 bed 6,401 sq ft |
| Alameda to 280 | 5 | 1 | 5 bed 4,723 sq ft |
A neighborhood appears here when it has at least 3 homes available or in escrow; thinner areas are included in the citywide totals above but not given a row. The median beds and size are shown once an area reaches four, and cover available and in-escrow homes together.
New listings bring fresh choices for buyers and new competition for sellers. Homes with longer marketing times deserve a closer look at pricing, presentation, condition, and the alternatives available. Days on market can help start that conversation, but they rarely tell the whole story.

Recent work
I use market research to guide real decisions: where to invest in preparation, how to present a home’s strengths, and how to position it among the choices buyers have.
The second of these is elsewhere on the Peninsula rather than in Atherton, and says so.

If you are the one thinking of selling
A thoughtful comparison starts with the properties a buyer would realistically consider alongside yours. Grounds, privacy, architecture, condition, and amenities all help shape that selection.
The most useful next step is a closer look at your property. I’ll help you compare relevant sales and current competition, identify worthwhile improvements, and decide how to bring your home to market.
I personally shape the design, preparation, and staging, coordinate the work, and guide pricing, marketing, and negotiation. You’ll have a clear plan and someone keeping the details moving—without taking on a second job as a project manager.
