Last week Hillsborough had 46 homes for sale and saw 4 houses close escrow.  With a median priced home hovering around $4 Million dollars that's quite a few homes for people with means to choose from.  The lowest priced home in Hillsborough is $1,850,000 and the highest is $18,000,000.  Obviously, there is quite a difference between these two properties both in size and amount of land.  Hillsborough is known for its fabulous schools, privacy, and lovely tree filled hillsides and some great views of the bay.  It's the home to some serious movers and shakers of Fortune 500 companies and is considered "the" move-up place to be by many around here.
