What Zillow shows

What it means for buyers and sellers
Redfin's three-month data shows about six offers per home in San Carlos, and the average home sells for about 5% over list; hot homes go for about 14% over in around eight days. Oddly, Redfin's Compete Score is 67, "somewhat competitive," and the share of listings with price cuts rose, so overpriced homes still sit while well-priced ones draw bidding wars. Compare with Redwood City.
Redfin figures cover the three months through September 2026 and compare with the same period a year earlier. Zillow's Home Value Index is a typical-home estimate, not a sale price, so the two numbers measure different things and won't match exactly.
