October kicked off with a heatwave, but we're back to typical fall weather just in time for Halloween! There are plenty of exciting activities happening across The Peninsula—be sure to check them out below. Redwood City also welcomed a new addition to Marsh Manor Shopping Center, Feast & Floral, known for their stunning charcuterie boards.

In real estate, San Mateo County continues to show strong signs of a seller’s market. The median sales price in September rose 6.8% year-over-year to $1.955M, with homes spending an average of 24 days on the market. A total of 320 homes sold, marking a 6.7% increase from last year, and 333 sales are currently pending—up 10.3%.

If you’re considering selling, now could be the perfect time. I recently had two properties go under contract in just 21 and 7 days! With the holidays approaching, listing soon could help you get ahead of the slower market that often follows. I’m here to discuss your options or provide any market insights you need!

The SF Peninsula is full of outdoor experiences. Here are some of the best hiking trails to take this weekend if you are looking to get outside to enjoy some fresh air 🌱

⛰️ Devil's Slide Trail overlooks the Pacific Ocean and offers beautiful coastal views and sunsets. The trail is fairly short at 1.3 miles, but very rewarding in regards to the view. The path is more hilly than flat, so it is a great place to work on cardio while being cooled by the fresh ocean air.

⛰️ Located between San Bruno and Pacifica, Sweeney Ridge is a popular hiking spot for locals and visitors alike. After making it up the incline, you will be rewarded with a 360-degree view of the San Francisco Bay Area and along the ocean coast as far as Point Reyes.

⛰️ Sam McDonald Park represents a contrast between two separate natural environments. The northwestern half between Pescadero Road and Highway 84 is principally a lush growth redwood forest, while the southeastern half is a primarily open ridge with grassy knolls and patchy brush areas.
