Let's call Burlingables the poster child for Burlingame’s wild 2021 real estate market. After hanging around the city’s entry-level of $2.1 million for 2019 to 2020, the perennially popular neighborhood’s average home price soared to $2.765 million (median of $2.8 million) in 2021, an increase of 27% (median 30%) from 2020 and sixth-highest among Burlingame neighborhoods, sandwiched between Lyon Hoag and Ray Park. Burlingable’s 15 sales are 88% more than recorded in 2020 and its average price of $1,499 per square foot was the highest among Burlingame neighborhoods for the year. Burlingables is at the top of many homebuyers’ wish list due to its proximity to Washington Park and Burlingame Ave as well as its leafy streets, however so few homes come up for sale there driving price per s/f so high. I don’t expect this will change in 2022 with the new $40 million Rec Center opening and the neighborhood becoming even more sought after.

Favorable
Arguably Burlingame's hottest neighborhood; less than one home per month on average comes up for sale
Quintessential tree-lined streets with classic Burlingame homes
Super close and easily walkable to Downtown Burlingame and Burlingame Avenue, Washington Park, and Caltrain
Adverse
Lot sizes are on average 5,000 s/f compared to the 6,000 s/f average for Burlingame, however, most homes have attached garages with full-sized yards, and many homes on 6,000 s/f lots elsewhere in Burlingame have detached garages with the garage in the rear of the property
Homes within one or two blocks of the freeway may have freeway noise
High price per square foot, but worth it for those who choose to buy in the neighborhood

Burlingame Real Estate Market Review
Each year Raziel publishes this award-winning annual review of the Burlingame real estate market.
Burlingame Residents
Born and raised in Burlingame, it was imperative to me to find someone to sell my parents' home who really knew the area. But most importantly for me, I needed someone I could trust. Needless to say, it was a very emotional experience. Raziel, Emily, and the entire team made this difficult time so much easier. They managed every step of the way and cheered me on throughout the entire process. Their positive and supportive attitudes, attention to every detail, and their genuine compassion for me and my situation made what could have been very painful transaction pleasant, positive and even exciting. I can't ever thank them enough.

This was by far the most intense buying process we’ve been through given the state of the market, location, and trends. It was incredibly important to have someone with a real depth of local knowledge and be able to be aggressive with confidence. You have to be aggressive to be successful, and you really have to rely on deep local knowledge, experience and some relationships locally to make that successful and not any more risky than it needs to be. We felt like Raziel’s local knowledge really helped us feel confident in the whole process.
— David & Heather Sanchez
Raziel spent time getting to know us and fully understand what we were looking for. We originally sought him out for his in-depth knowledgeable of the market and his commitment to educating us on the buying process in this area, though quickly found he had a lot more to offer than just his competence and expertise. His great enthusiasm and desire to make the buying process enjoyable was remarkable. Raziel was committed to finding us our dream home and for a price we were comfortable paying versus getting us into any home just to meet our deadline. We are so grateful that we found Raziel and can not imagine a better experience searching for/buying a home or feeling welcome in a new community.
— Erica Rishel
Raziel's friendly, upbeat attitude and patience was just what we needed in our low-inventory target area. His local knowledge of individual streets and houses was amazing, and his network helped us find a great property. We are detail-oriented people, so we especially appreciated his great communication skills and attention to being organized. We loved working with Raziel. We would use him again in an instant and will strongly recommend him to our friends and family.

We interviewed 3 short-listed agents to sell our home, and all were very qualified. Raziel rose to the top due to his focus on our community, and deep knowledge of similar transactions in the neighborhood that would be beneficial in marketing our property. Raziel was the only one who took the time and expense of materials to market us, the sellers, directly to potential buyers creating an emotional connection to the property in a transaction that is too often simply numbers on a contract.
