ca: Novato Real Estate (August 2009 Home Sales Report) - 08/17/09 04:13 PM
Last month, for the first time since I began writing Novato monthly updates back in 2006, I stated that it appears that the Novato, CA. market (for single family homes) seems to be improving in two meaningful ways. Certainly, sales have risen from last year and we have several months of increasing sales … (0 comments)

ca: San Rafael CA Real Estate Market Report (July 2009 Home Sales Update) - 07/18/09 04:14 PM
As Summer sets in, San Rafael CA’s real estate market has slowed a bit. It is increasingly fueled by foreclosures and short sales. The low end (under $600K) remains hot (67% of homes in escrow, compared with 64% in June 2009) and the $600K to $800K price band has seen … (0 comments)

ca: Mill Valley CA. Real Estate Market Report (July 2009 Home Sales Update) - 07/18/09 04:10 PM

The Mill Valley real estate market remains predictably unpredictable — after logging 17 sales in May 2009, we had a robust 29 sales in June 2009. Typically, sales slow down as Summer begins and families focus more on vacations and outside activities. That slowdown will be reflected in July … (0 comments)

ca: Novato Real Estate Market Update (July 2009 Home Sales Report) - 07/18/09 10:37 AM
The Novato single family home market seems to be forming a bottom. Prices appear to be leveling out and the percentages of entry level homes in escrow are very high. I know that many foreclosure sales and short sales are getting multiple offers. I have several clients who have faced … (0 comments)

ca: Marin County, CA. Real Estate Update — June 2009 (Homes For Sale & Price Ranges) - 07/01/09 10:28 AM
This year has been peculiar in real estate. Obviously, prices are down in all categories. Obviously, short sales and foreclosures are featured on many buyers' dance cards. And obviously, the market is suffering from a negative feedback loop fed by the media. I spend all day, every day, talking with prospective … (0 comments)

ca: Marin Luxury Properties Report / Marin County, California, Luxury Homes Report (June 2009–Sales and Inventory Analysis) - 07/01/09 10:20 AM
As noted in prior reports this year, Marin County, CA's luxury segment is slow and currently weighted towards homes priced under $4 million. In fact, not a single home priced over $4 million sold in May 2009 and just 2 are currently in escrow (although that could change in a moment … (0 comments)

ca: Tiburon & Belvedere Real Estate Market Report (May 2009 Home Sales Update) - 07/01/09 10:17 AM
As inventory collects in Southern Marin's toniest locales (Belvedere and Tiburon), we are starting to see and hear about more offers being submitted. Certainly, sellers frustrated by the lack of activity have in some cases taken what they could get. Most recognize that our new economy, post-Equity Market Meltdown, has shifted … (0 comments)

ca: Mill Valley CA. Real Estate Market Report (June 2009 Home Sales Update) - 06/21/09 12:08 PM

ca: Novato CA Real Estate Market Update (June 2009 Home Sales Report) - 06/21/09 12:04 PM
This month, Novato's absorption rate fell to an unbelievable 3.04 months. That is low. Absorption rates, along with days on market averages, provide a telling insight into the overall state of the market. As I have noted before, value properties can be found in virtually ALL price ranges in Novato. Pricing … (0 comments)

ca: Marin County, CA. Real Estate Update — May 2009 (Homes For Sale & Price Ranges) - 05/21/09 10:58 PM

The median price per square foot has dipped to about $575 per sq. ft. (which is down from well over $800 in mid-2007). While some buyers believe prices may slip a bit more, as noted above, most appreciate the fact that interest rates are very appealing. Indeed, mortgage math punishes those … (0 comments)
