Each week, Embarcadero Media takes a look at home sales activity along the Midpeninsula in the communities of Atherton, East Palo Alto, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Menlo Park, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Portola Valley and Woodside. Home sales are provided by California REsource, a real estate information company that obtains the information from counties' recorder's offices. Information is recorded from deeds after the close of escrow and published within four to eight weeks. Here's a look at home sales activity between July 17-21 that was made public the week of Aug. 21. Of the 37 homes sold, Woodside saw the highest price tag at $12.5M. Palo Alto saw the second-highest transaction with the sale of a 1928 historic home in the Old Palo Alto neighborhood. East Palo Alto recorded two home sales over $1M each: A 1,150-square-foot home built in 1956 sold for $1.03M; and a two-bedroom, one-bath home built in 1927 sold for $1.4M.
