Crab is king in Pacifica, just ask Pappas

T

here is precious little that we on the coast cherish as much as Dungeness crab. Those in the lesser 49 states make do with the decidedly less princely blue variety. To them, crab is most likely a once-a-year treat at the local Red Lobster or rubbery legs that have been frozen and thawed for unwitting customers at the local grocery store. There are many things to pity about life inland, but few any more depressing than the lack of fresh crab for cioppino or the Thanksgiving table.

Just ask Andy Pappas.

This month, we introduce Pappas to the few people in the region who don’t yet know him by name. He is, of course, Pacifica’s King of Crab and he wears the crown proudly. Our Vanitha Sankaran discovers that his home is decorated with photos from 20-plus years on and around the Pacifica Pier and that crustacean art hangs as if from pincers all around the place. Let’s just say he has long ago accepted his royal position.

As Pappas well knows, crab is an important component of the economy from the U.S.-Canadian border south well beyond Pacifica. Fishermen who make their living lugging crab from the ocean’s depths do so at their own peril.

The profession is one of the most dangerous in the world. It is also a crapshoot. While there are indications that this year should be good for crabbers in the area, the ocean is always unpredictable. Last year, a neurotoxin known as domoic acid delayed the start of the commercial season past the first of the year and that was a bitter pill for men and women who count on the festive dinners of the holiday season to get them through the rest of the year.

This year, so far at least, the tests have proven negative for domoic acid. And that leaves crabbers like Pappas feeling positive about a season that just opened.

Even at 87 years young, Pappas’ enthusiasm for the season and the sea creature he loves is delicious to see. If you find yourself down at the pier some morning, you might ask him for advice on how to dredge up some dinner for yourself. He’ll even share a recipe we can all manage: “Let ’em boil, take them out, let ’em cool,” he says. Thank you, King Pappas.

Turn of the century tunnel

By Paul Slavin

AN ENGINEERING ACCOMPLISHMENT

T

he rare photo above, circa 1909, shows several men standing in front of the southern entrance to the Ocean Shore Railroad tunnel beneath Pedro Point, the western-most end of Montara Mountain.

The tunnel had to be cut through 400 feet of the mountain’s solid granite rock with the primitive tools of the day and black powder. It was an

engineering accomplishment succeeded by an even more challenging section of right-of-way. As the track emerged from the tunnel it encountered Devil’s Slide, and here the workmen had to hack out a narrow ledge across the sheer, exposed face of the notoriously unstable cliff, struggling between the constant threat of a landslide from above and the pounding surf below.

In the photo, the wooden structure above the tunnel are loading bunkers for a rock quarry owned by the Ransome Construction Co., which gathered up the loose material in this

slide prone area. Within a year or so, a larger than usual landslide wiped out the entire operation. This has never been an easy place to do business.

The pole-mounted signaling device, shown just to the right and behind the men in the photo, was recovered by Frank Maffei, of Colma, who graciously donated I tto the Pacifica Coastal Museum.

PACIFICAN WORKS IN GRAFFITI, MURALS, TATTOOS

By Vanitha Sankaran

ART

icture a vibrant San Francisco in the 1980s and 1990s. The city is ripe with musical talent: R&B, hiphop and soul stream from boom boxes and mix on the street. On the walls, graffiti is transitioning from neighborhood and gang-related art to tagging identified by unique styles and crews. Inside comic book stores and at home, kids grow fascinated by the lines and curves and colors of superheroes making their mark on a changing landscape. This is the world muralist and tattoo artist Mel Waters grew up in and those early influences led the Pacifican to create art on canvases both big and small that mesmerizes his audience today.

Leaning back at a table in the Beach Monkey Café, a favorite local haunt, Waters reminisces about his childhood with a fond smile. He says that though he was born in 1982 and raised in San Francisco and Daly City, “I was heavily influenced early on, as a child, my family being black and Filipino.” He was largely raised in a single-family home with his mother, who comes from a Filipino background. “There was a lot of good

“COMICS WERE MY WORLD. THAT’S HOW MY ARTISTIC SIDE KICKED IN AT THE BEGINNING, THAT AND THE GRAFFITI,” MEL WATERS, ARTIST

Comics were an early inspiration for a boy who saw art all around him.

music and good culture during those times,” he said. “Break dancing and graffiti art were heavy in the city and I was influenced by that.”

Waters singles out graffiti as an early source of his artistic inspiration.

“I dibbled and dabbed in it a little bit as a youth,” he said. “It was only natural because it was all around me.” Comic books were another inspiration, mostly those produced by the giants Marvel and DC. Waters recalls how his father took him to his first auction, at Butterfield and Butterfield. “He made me bid on a Batman and Robin piece of art and I won. It wasn’t that much at the time — it was decently priced. But that was a big, big shift. Comics were my world. That’s how my artistic side kicked in at the beginning, that and the graffiti.”

As Waters grew up, he eschewed drawing in favor of basketball, relegating comics and graffiti to a hobby. Then, in 2004, he met a neighbor by the name of Jesse Gomez. Waters laughs at the memory. “(Gomez) was really into lowriders.

I peeked into his backyard and I saw this mural on his shed. And I said, ‘Hey man, did you do that? By the way, my name’s Mel.’” Waters describes Gomez as an amazing artist in the craft of rebuilding lowriders and classic cars. Gomez invited him to hang out so they could draw together. For Waters, this marked his

rebirth. “That’s where I took off,” he said.

At first, Gomez had him working on graffiti letters, but Waters soon branched out to cartoon characters and some landscape. He started using spray paint and acyclic paint, met people, and began painting graffiti and art in random places.

“It became a weekend ritual for me,” he remembered. He had no ties, no family or children to keep him from exploring his newly rediscovered artistic side apart from his 9-to-5 job in transport for the California Pacifica Medical Center, of course, which kept him in supplies. Along the way, he met a lot of artists, mostly through Gomez, who encouraged him to paint portraits. “My friends believed in me that I had the skill to do something nice,” he said. “With their graffiti letters, I became the character guy.”

In 2008, he kicked off his portrait art with one featuring John F. Kennedy on Townsend and 7th to 8th streets in San Francisco. He recalls walking by himself and seeing a garage with some scratchy art on it. He asked the owner for permission to paint the garage and with the paint he carried on him, he took on the space with a large painting of the late president. “I was thinking then of Obama, and Obama getting into office,” he says. He remembers fearing that Obama, the nation’s first black president, would meet a fate similar to JFK’s.

From there, Waters painted a portrait of Billie Holiday in North Beach, and then graduated to big black and white portraits all over San Francisco. He muses over the intersection of graffiti and street art.

“Street art, these beautiful painted murals, is where it’s at now because of graffiti back then.” He’s quick to say he’s not taking credit for being one of the original street artists, but instead takes pride in being part of a larger scene that started before him. For him, it all goes back to his beginnings. “I usually paint people in music or people who are influential in culture.”

His favorite creation is his mural of Carlos Santana on 18th and Mission streets, which is well known and was appreciated by Santana himself. Santana invited Waters to 14

attend one of his concerts and go on stage.

“That’s how magical the art form is.”

Among other projects, Waters recently painted a street memorial in Clarion Alley for Michela Gregory and Alex Vega, victims of Oakland’s deadly Ghost Ship tragedy and participated in the Hemlock Alley Cultural Mural Project in San Francisco’s lower Polk neighborhood, another invited project that involved nine artists capturing different San Francisco neighborhood. He worked on both the Mission District and Chinatown depictions, on a canvas that spanned 27 feet tall and was more than 30 feet long.

Waters has also mentored with legendary tattoo artist Dean Dennis, who saw Waters’ art and made contact through mutual friends in 2010. Waters collects tattoos, especially through his Filipino side of the family. Dennis offered Waters an apprenticeship and they worked together for only two years before Dennis passed away.

“We kept the shop open for seven years though,” says Waters. The collaboration helped in his artistic life since Waters was neither a full-time portrait artist nor muralist but instead kept searching for opportunities to promote and advance his work. Waters is getting ready now to opening his own tattoo shop, which is exciting. “It’s something solid I can work at,” he said, adding that he plans to continue his painting, both on commission and for personal interest. “I love creating. I’m always looking for new opportunities.”

Spotlight Circles in the sand An alert reader tipped us off to these magnificent creations in the sand along the South Coast. It turns out they are the work of artist Brandon Anderton, who considers the ephemeral works of art to be therapy.

Anderton told the San Jose Mercury-News that accidents and a work-related injury left him in pain, but that he finds some solace from his contemplative art, like this piece left at Gazos Creek in November.

PACIFICAN FINDS ANCIENT BONES WHILE LOOKING FOR TRASH

o the outside eye, long-time Pacifican Ian Butler might seem the most unlikely archaeologist. By day he prunes trees and happily admits, “I climb trees for a living.” He’s also an avid volunteer in picking up trash along Pacifica’s beaches. One of his favorite spots is an area he calls, “The Secret Waterfall,” where water drags trash from Daly City and Pacifica through streambeds to the beach and eventually out to the ocean. Butler’s goal is to pick up the trash before it washes to sea, especially after a rain.

But his curiosity for the lost little corners of the world have led him to find all manner of treasure, starting with over $1,000 in hundred-dollar bills and ending most recently in mammoth bones. That’s right, mammoth bones.

“Pick up trash and you never know what you’ll find,” he jokes.

His discovery of mammoth bones began in August 2012, when he spotted something that looked different than the trash strewn along the beach. “I am no expert on any of this but for some reason I saw this and thought, ‘Whoa, a mammoth tusk,’” he said. He was wrong —he hadn’t found a mammoth tusk, but he had found a mammoth leg bone.

He points out the structure of the bone, lingering around a large hole in the fossil where the soft tissue of a vein has long since decomposed. “This was the first piece that I found but I actually left it that day,” having forgotten the discovery among the trash he’d collected. Luckily, he retrieved it alter with the help of his daughter.

Over the years, Butler has returned to “The Secret Waterfall” numerous times and has found an impressive range DECEMBER

of other pieces, mostly notably a mammoth vertebra. The piece is very light, almost like pumice, and was covered in mud when Butler spotted it. At the time, he remembers feeling that the piece was less important when contrasted with the much heavier leg bone.

That same day, he recalls, “I saw this tusk sticking out of the hillside and went, ‘Oh what is that?’” He grabbed the piece, thinking it would be like the other bones he dug out. But, to his dismay, the tusk fell apart in his hands.

“It’s made of different materials,” and is much more fragile.

He took the pieces in to Jean Demouthe at the California Academy of the Sciences and she verified his find: indeed, was a tusk. He speaks wistfully of the visit.

“We’re in the catacombs of the Academy of Sciences and she said, ‘Here’s some other stuff you can check out.’” Demouthe showed Butler mammoth teeth and he was entranced.

He went back to his site the next day and shortly found a mammoth tooth, which looks much like on oversized alien, somewhat like a

chiton with an oblong shape and deep ridges.

The only mammoths in this area of California were the Colombian mammoths, one of the last in the line of mammoths.

Bigger than the more commonly known wooly mammoth, the Colombian mammoth boasted massive curved tusks and four molars. In fact, they only had four teeth in total, two upper teeth and two lower teeth. “They are made out of the toughest substance found in a land animal,” Butler claims. “The beaks of giant squid are harder, but this stuff right here is hard enough to let them grind greens to eat until the tooth wears out.” A new tooth grows in to replace the old one, with mammoths having five sets of teeth. “After that no more teeth grow in and the mammoth dies of starvation.” Butler hasn’t gotten a proper analysis of his tooth yet, but says it’s possible to tell the age, size and sex of a mammoth from one of its teeth.

“THEY ARE MADE OUT OF THE TOUGHEST SUBSTANCE FOUND IN A LAND ANIMAL,” IAN BUTLER, SPEAKING OF MAMMOTH TEETH When mammoths strode the earth, the area that is now coastal California was actually an inland environment.

SEE FOR YOURSELF BUTLER’S MAMMOTH BONES ARE CURRENTLY ON DISPLAY AT THE PACIFICA COASTSIDE MUSEUM AT 1850 FRANCISCO BLVD. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE VISIT PACIFICAHISTORY.ORG OR CALL (650) 359-5462.

found other animal bones at the site. He even speculates that early native peoples might have used the site for the bones of their kills. “There’s no evidence of hunting on mammoths,” Butler says, but his curiosity leads him to suppose that predation along with climate change led to the mammoth’s extinction. The large animals died out shortly after the arrival of the first native peoples.

Native people from the area have always been a fascination of Butler’s, especially the site of the Sanchez Adobe and the site of the Pruristac village. “But, I never even thought about an era before that,” he says, wonder evident in his tone, “until this day.” He relates how he found his bones in the seaside cliffs, which at the time of the mammoth would have been 25 miles from the ocean. The Farallon Islands would not have been islands at the time. He imagines a mammoth walking along the edge of a hillside, munching on grasses. “You get a whole different vibe from it. The world was a whole different world.”

Butler has amassed six boxes of bones with maybe 1,000 fragments in total. When he first started finding his bones, he was eager to tell the press. One savvy reader guessed where Butler’s site was and engaged in a race, or sorts, to find fossils. Their methods of bone recovery were quite distinct.

While Butler waited for a good rain to do the excavation work so he could seek out finds on the surface, his fellow discoverer preferred to

dig. Butler eventually met the man, who has about as many finds himself. So far, Butler has not been able to make contact regarding working together to display their collections in tandem for his new exhibit at the Pacifica Coastside Museum.

In the five years since his original discovery, Butler continues to find more fossils, as recently as this September. He looks for things that seem lighter in color and weight than the surrounding rocks, anything recently exposed by erosion. He hasn’t found a larger piece in about a year, though he does collect smaller fragments that are often difficult to identify. “It’s rare to find a piece that has an identifier,” he explains. “Most are just pieces.” He hopes to get experts to have a look at his pieces to get a more complete picture of his finds.

Butler continues to volunteer time cleaning up beaches and says, “Picking up trash is a very effective way to find bones because you’re looking for something that doesn’t fit.” He looks along ravines and streams where trash, and bones, seem to collect. He figured finding cash was the best he could hope for, “but then I found a mammoth.”

He has a new goal for his finds now— ambergris. It’s an unlikely discovery but his curiosity and determination abounds. It’s just another step in rediscovering another lost corner of the world. PACIFICA

The Crab King OF PACIFICA FOLLOW THE RULES

By Vanitha Sankaran

Pacifica Pier is open to the public for crabbing and no license is necessary through the noncommercial season (November to June). There are a few rules to follow, and the game warden can and will ticket you if you don’t.

Crabs must be at least 5 3⁄4 inches to keep. Keep a gauge with you — they’re cheap! The daily limit is 10 crabs per person.

Females contain less meat than males and should be thrown back to keep the crab population healthy. To tell the difference, look at the underside of the crab. If the abdomen is wide and rounded, the crab is female.

If the abdomen is narrow, the crab is male.

Although the pier has a station for cleaning your catch, most people bring a cooler to clean their crabs at home. Crabs should be cleaned by the end of the day. Catch, clean, and consume in good health!

A LIFETIME SPENT ON THE PIER

By Vanitha Sankaran

M

eeting Andy Pappas, the crab king of Pacifica, is a little like meeting real royalty. That’s not just because he has been catching crab, with plenty of success, for years. It isn’t because everyone in Pacifica seems to know him or to know of him. Rather, it’s because of the warmth and excitement he exudes about Pacifica and its fishing opportunities, with his vivid stories, good-natured advice, and the way he shares his catch with friends old and new.

“When I first went crabbing a long time ago,” Pappas recalls as he gestures at the ocean from his living room window, “I used to leave early in the morning and come back at 8 or 9 o’clock in the morning, and I used to catch the limit every time. I’d be walking off the pier and the same guys who came every time would say, ‘Oh hey, it’s the crab king!’” He swats away the praise. “I don’t take it seriously, but I do like it, and that’s how I became the crab king.”

Pappas commands a gorgeous view of the ocean from his home, as if he were Poseidon himself surveying the health of the ocean. His home is decorated with crab mugs and crab art, and down in his basement, photos of his ocean adventures tell the story of his life over the years.

Pappas has been crabbing for 20 or 25 years and says, “Fishing off Pacifica Pier is fantastic. I used to

Andy Pappas earned the distinction as the crab king.

“FISHING OFF PACIFICA PIER IS FANTASTIC. I USED TO GO AT ABOUT 4 O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING, AND SOMETIMES STILL DO. I ENJOY SEEING THE STARS IN THE SKY, THE MOON ON A FULL MOON NIGHT, AND THE BEAUTIFUL WATER. IT’S PEACEFUL,” ANDY PAPPAS, CRABBER

go at about 4 o’clock in the morning, and sometimes still do. I enjoy seeing the stars in the sky, the moon on a full moon night, and the beautiful water. It’s peaceful.” He describes how many regulars go out just to have fun. Some days they catch a lot and some days they catch nothing. He said they ask, “Andy, where are all the crabs?” Pappas laughs and says he tells them maybe the crabs will be there tomorrow. Certainly, he loves his fishing and loves his crabs, but it’s clear he loves the experience most of all.

Asked if he’s noticed a difference in crab fishing over his decades of experiences, Pappas shakes his head. “Well, last year they closed the season, but the year before that was very good and I think this year will be, too.” The 2017 sport season opened Nov. 4 and Pappas planned to be there, for a short time at least. “It’s just like Christmas day for me because I look forward to it every year.” That smile on his face is back, the one that stretches across his face and lights up his eyes. “These days (opening day) will be so crowded now. People come from all over for the event.

And through the season, folks will even call me up to ask how the crabbing is.” Pappas is quick to share his experience, saying “come on down” or “stay home and wait for another day.” He notes that the same people come all the time, “all of us retired people and we barbecue and everybody is genial. Now that I’m getting a little older, they help me out.”

At 87, Pappas still looks forward to the opening of crabbing season, though perhaps he won’t be there at 4 a.m. His deservedly pampered cat, named Honey Girl after his beloved late wife, gets mad if he leaves too early in the morning.

He advises newcomers to walk to the end of the pier to experience the full lure of the season. Many people use nets to catch crabs but Pappas prefers the now popular snares. A surefire way to catch crab, he says, is to use a lot of bait, fresh bait, and change bait often. “One of the best places to get all of that new equipment if you’re coming for the first time,” he says, “is the New Coastside 2 Bait and Tackle Shop, which is one of the best bait shops in town.”

After so many years of crabbing, Pappas has the perfect setup to cook his catch in his home. “I cook downstairs in the garage with the portable stove because I don’t want to smell up the house upstairs.” It’s a habit Pappas has retained from his late wife, Vivian, who used to say to him, “Are you going crabbing again? That’s ridiculous! That’s just ridiculous.” He smiles as he talks about how she didn’t like crabs too much, but she did put up with him. He cooks his crabs for about 10 minutes with a little bit of salt. “Let ‘em boil, take them out, let ’em cool.” He eats his catch with local French bread and a margarita or a glass of wine. Simple and classic, just like Pappas himself. And, he says, it’s best shared with friends.

“I’m really looking forward to the season,” he says, “and to the neighbors. If I’m there, I’ll be glad to help you.” Pappas had a bench erected at the end of the pier for his late wife with both their names and when he comes out, the regulars are sure to let him have the space to, as he says, “sit out there first thing in the morning and say a few things, good things.”

And then it’s time to fish. PACIFICA

National Business Women’s Week is an 89-year-old tradition that began as a celebration of a trend — more and more women were leaving home and venturing into the business world. Today, of course, women are no longer an anomaly in the boardrooms, factories and offices of the nation. They are pillars of nearly every business you can name. But even though the business climate for women has dramatically improved since 1928, there are still disparities in the workplace that need highlighting. We tip our hat once again to these Coastside women leaders. Learn about trends and calls to action at the Business and Professional Women’s Foundation at bpwfoundation.org

Compost for better planet HEALTHY PLANTS REQUIRE HEALTHY SOIL

by Susan Kornfeld and Cynthia Nations

T

he key to healthy plants is healthy soil and making your own compost is a great way to get it. Compost improves the structure and texture of garden soil, resulting in the retention of more nutrients, moisture and air.

Compost also feeds beneficial organisms in your soil.

In addition to helping your plants, compost also helps the environment as it enables you to cut back on water, fertilizers, and pesticides.

You can use kitchen and garden waste to make compost. You can even accept contributions from your non-composting neighbors! One composter friend distributed buckets to her neighbors before

Thanksgiving and collected all of their kitchen scraps for her own compost bins.

One of my neighbors kindly gives me his grass clippings and another provides dry leaves.

Approximately one third of landfill waste is either household waste or yard waste. Most of this could be composted rather than left to decompose and release methane gas into the atmosphere.

Methane traps 23 times more heat than carbon dioxide and thus is a more potent greenhouse gas. Composting really can help save our planet.

In addition, composting is not that expensive. It can be made in bins, barrels, homemade boxes, within a circle of chicken wire, in a pile on the ground, or in a ditch or hole dug in your yard. Compost bins can be purchased at a discounted price through RecycleWorks.org.

To make compost, combine green and brown materials, in the approximate ratio of two to three parts brown to one

part green. Green materials include grass clippings, chopped or shredded vegetable or other green plants, kitchen waste (such as fruit, vegetable trimmings, egg shells, coffee grounds or tea bags), and horse, chicken, cow, or rabbit manure. Brown materials include dried leaves, straw, sawdust, and paper products such as paper plates, newspapers, and napkins. With fall coming, get ready to collect leaves for compost. I use a vacuum/mulcher/blower to vacuum and grind up leaves for my bin. Materials to avoid include dog or cat poop, diseased plants, weeds with seeds, dairy products, meat, fats, oil or grease and plastic.

Yes, making compost does require work, although some methods are easier than others. Hot/fast composting involves frequent mixing and yields finished compost within a month or two. A more moderate method requires less mixing and finishes in four to six months. For a cold/ passive method, simply put the materials into your container or pile and just let

nature do the rest. You’ll enjoy finished compost in a year or two.

After your compost is ready, simply mix it into your soil, spread a layer on top (where it serves double duty as a light mulch), spread it around shrubs and trees, or mix it with sand and soil, or perlite and peat moss to create potting mix.

To learn more, attend one of the free workshops on composting put on by Master Gardeners or Master Composters.

Numerous books and online resources are available that provide specific information concerning: various methods of composting, building your own bin, composting materials, and detailed instructions about making and using compost. Feed your soil, and your plants will thrive!

Natasha Age: 9 Breed: German shepherd mix Natasha came to her forever family through a tragic circumstance nine years ago, when Chuck Flores was walking the family dog. Says his wife, Misha, “Our dog started sniffing the trash and it yelped.” It turned out a neighbor a few houses down had thrown away a weeks-old puppy. “She had a little tiny carrier and she was only that long,” she said. Misha Flores’ hands indicate a length of about nine inches. There was no water or food in the carrier, only mud.

Thankfully, the Floreses took the puppy home and there she stayed. “She’s been a happy dog ever since,” she said.

Named Natasha for her gentle nature, the now 9-yearold dog loves to play Frisbee. Unfortunately, years of jumping (and landing) have taken their toll on Natasha’s knees and after two surgeries, she’s now relegated to playing quiet games of ball, digging holes in the beach, and going on hikes with her people.

Cheese and meat are Natasha’s favorite treats, though play and cuddles are the best treat of all. “She works hard and plays hard,” and is ever the fun-loving pup.

Misha Flores praises her dog’s smarts, saying Natasha saved Chuck’s life once when they were hiking.

Natasha jumped in front of him before he walked off a cliff in a distracted state. She’s also let Chuck know when Misha once twisted her ankle on a hike.

Clearly, she’s bonded to the family who saved her and, in turn, they can’t imagine life without her.

”Paul Benson was wonderful throughout the entire selling process of my home.

He was helpful, honest, and clear in all communications with me. I would say he provided a “white glove” service.

Just a good guy to work with.” ~S. Romero XNLV349469

Housing costs all over county hit new highs

W

here else but in expensive San Mateo County would home prices of $1.2 million be a bargain?

The small consolation is that the spread between the coast and the county as a whole is decreasing a little this year. At the end of 2015, the gap was $478,000, in June it was $543,000 and now at the end of the third quarter its only $502,000. Despite record highs, price gains over the past few years seem more modest with the county showing a 5 percent increase over both past 12 months and full year 2016. The prices on the coast are up 5 percent over one year ago and up 3 percent over full year.

The average price now stands at new record high of $1,740,000 in the county. (and on the coast, $1,238,000) compared to $1,659,000 to full year 2016, $1,596,000 in 2015, $1,392,000 in 2012, $878,000 in 2009, and $1,210,000 in 2007. Over the past five years, county prices are up by 43 percent and the coast is up by 42 percent.

While prices peaked in 2007, sales volume has never recovered from its high back in 2004.

For the nine months of this year, 3,098 homes sold compared to 3,050 in 2016, 3,028 in 2015, and 3,658 in 2013. Inventory has increased to 672 homes (up 14 percent from last year and up 9 percent on the coast) to where it now represents 1.5 months of supply. (The coast has 3.9 month’s supply.)

Not surprisingly, all this has decreased average selling time to 24 days compared to 27 days in 2016, 22 days in 2014, 79 days in 2009, and 28 days in 2005. It currently takes an average of 42 days to sell a home on the coast.

Where you also see strength is in the number of towns whose average price tops $1 million. Of the 28 towns in the county that make up our local listing service, 19 now exceed that amount while 16 did in 2014, seven in 2009 and 17 in 2007.

Atherton remains the most expensive place to live in the county with an average price of $5.7 million followed by Hillsborough, Woodside, and Portola Valley. The other towns that make up this million-dollar club in descending order are: Menlo Park, Burlingame, San Carlos, Foster City, Millbrae, Redwood Shores, Belmont, Redwood City, Half Moon Bay, San Mateo, El Granada, Montara, Moss Beach and Pacifica.

These factors are contributing to homes selling for more than full price. Last year, 108 percent sold over asking, 105 percent in 2016, 109 percent in 2015, 96 percent in 2009, and 100 percent in 2007. (On the coast 101 percent sell for over asking price this year.)

This chart shows homes prices for both areas since 2007 with the coast continuing to be much more affordable.
