Where homes are going into escrow

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.

  • Under $3M 26% share in escrow 17 for sale · 6 in escrow
  • $3–4M 31% share in escrow 9 for sale · 4 in escrow
  • $4–5M 3 listings share in escrow 3 for sale · 0 in escrow
  • $5–7M 0% share in escrow 8 for sale · 0 in escrow
  • $7M and above 20% share in escrow 4 for sale · 1 in escrow

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.

A closer look by neighborhood

Citywide numbers are a starting point. This breakdown helps you see where homes are available and where buyers have already made a move.

NeighborhoodAvailableIn escrowMedian beds · size
County / Alameda Area 9 1 5 bed 3,048 sq ft
County Area / Fair Oaks Ave 6 2 3.5 bed 2,160 sq ft
East of U.S. 101 Menlo Park 5 2 3 bed 1,480 sq ft
Allied Arts / Downtown 4 2 2 bed 1,235 sq ft
Central Menlo 5 0 5 bed 2,715 sq ft
Willows / O'Conner Area 3 1 3.5 bed 1,589 sq ft
Middlefield to El Camino Menlo Park 3 1 3 bed 2,103 sq ft
Flood Park Area 2 1 —

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 arrivals and time on market

  • 7 came on in the last seven days
  • 32% have been listed under two weeks
  • 7% have been on the market past sixty days

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

Selected Peninsula transactions

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.

These sales are elsewhere on the Peninsula rather than in Menlo Park. The work is the same; the addresses are not, and saying so is better than implying otherwise.

If you are the one thinking of selling

Let’s make a plan for your Menlo Park home.

Your home’s competition may be a handful of relevant properties rather than every listing in Menlo Park. I’ll help you look at the homes that overlap with yours in location, price, size, and condition.

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.

About these figures

About this market snapshot

This report summarizes single-family homes recorded in MLSListings for Menlo Park as of October 16. Available homes and homes in escrow are shown separately; “in escrow” includes the contingent and pending statuses used in this report.

Asking prices describe current listings, not completed sale prices. Medians represent the middle value in each group and may change as different homes enter or leave the market.

Map locations are approximate — each home is placed within about 120 metres of where it actually is — and area summaries do not describe individual properties. For listing details, current availability, or a closer look at your own home, contact Maggie.
