Questions About Atherton Home Prices
What is the average home price in Atherton?
$14,745,000 for a single-family home, or $2,705 per square foot, averaged over 20 sales in the last three months. That's the highest average of all 29 cities on the map. Over the last six months, the average home that sold had 5,687 sq ft of living space.
Are prices going up or down?
Down lately. The average sold price fell 1.3% from last month but is 17.0% above where it was three months ago. Over six months, though, it's still up 1.1%, so this looks more like a pullback than a slide. With only 20 sales in three months, one big sale can swing these numbers a lot.
Are homes selling over asking?
Yes, right in line with the Bay Area. Homes sold 6.1% over asking on average, about the same as the 6.2% across all 29 cities.
Where does this data come from?
These numbers come from MLS sold data for detached single-family homes, so condos and townhomes aren't included. Josh Uy, a Bay Area Realtor with Everhome Real Estate (DRE 01952401), compiles them every month for his Bay Area Market Snapshot.
