corte madera: Marin Human Society Turns 100 Years Old - 05/31/07 04:48 AM
What do dogs, cats, song birds, chickens, rabbits, and turtles all have in common?  A second chance provided by the Marin Humane Society ("MHS")! 
MHS turns 100 this year and is celebrating that milestone on June 3rd with festivities for all ages.   There will be contests (e.g., biggest dog, smallest dog, best dog singer (like American Idol?), demonstrations, a group dog walk at 10:00 a.m., drawings, and more.
On a personal note, about 4 years ago, my family adopted a dog from the MHS that had been rescued from a shelter in the Fresno area.  Carmen is the greatest dog I have ever had the pleasure to know.  … (0 comments)

corte madera: Marin County Population Growth Surges in Novato - 05/04/07 03:27 AM
As noted in a recent news report in the Marin Independent Journal, growth rates in Marin were relatively low over the past year.  Overall, population growth was 0.9 percent last year (for a total population of 255,982). 
In Novato, however, the population grew by 2.4 percent to 52,426, largely due to new housing in Hamilton Field and Atherton Ranch.  Over the past seven years, Hamilton has seen over 2,100 homes built.  The large increase in population (mainly young families) has resulted in rapid increases in the number of children attending Hamilton Elementary School, which has grown from 365 children to 488 … (0 comments)

corte madera: Marin County Absorption Rates (Real Estate Update) - 03/31/07 11:40 AM
MMarin County, California, sits just north of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, straddling Highway 101, and boasts some of the most valuable real estate in the Bay Area.  Homes in Marin (cities and towns include: Mill Valley, Sausalito, Tiburon, Belvedere, Corte Madera, Larkspur, Greenbrae, Kentfield, Ross, San Anselmo, San Rafael and Novato) have, by and large, maintained their value over the past 20 months.  There are a number of neighborhoods that have continued to see prices appreciate (albeit, moderately) and other isolated neighborhoods where prices have dropped.
The following is a brief rundown of the absorption rates and trends (based on … (0 comments)

corte madera: Corte Madera, Marin County, California - 02/16/07 02:06 AM
Corte Madera is best known for the two shopping malls right off of Highway 101. But the town, translated as "cut wood" in Spanish, has a lot going for it. Besides boasting a 22-acre park with tennis courts, two playgrounds, and recreation equipment, the town also has an historic village square and numerous biking paths.
The amenities as well as the area's central location, moderate home prices and taxes, friendly neighborhoods, and a good commute all help make Corte Madera a popular place to live. East Corte Madera is a flat, mostly ranch-style home area, including some properties that back up on the … (0 comments)

corte madera: Larkspur, Marin County, California - 02/06/07 04:07 AM
If developer Charles Wright's wife knew her plants, this picturesque Central Marin town would be called Lupine. Mrs. Wright, whose husband helped to incorporate the town at the turn of the century, admired the fields of what she thought were larkspur plants blooming near her new homestead, and named the village Larkspur. Most of the town lies inland, but the part that fronts the water is home to the county's largest ferry terminal, as well as a metal sculpture of Sir Francis Drake. Larkspur shares schools and a police department with Corte Madera and together they make up the Twin Cities. … (0 comments)

corte madera: Marin County--Number of Homes For Sale & Price Ranges - 01/24/07 02:39 PM
The following is a brief rundown of the number of homes for sale in Marin County, California, as of January 24, 2007, along with the price ranges for each town:
Marin Single Family Homes
 
As is evident, except for Mill Valley, San Rafael and Novato (of course, these are Marin's largest cities), there is very low inventory county-wide (especially in Kentfield and Larkspur).  San Anselmo has added nine homes to its inventory in the past three weeks.  The largest spread in price range belongs (again) to Corte Madera as the Bill Graham Estate on 11 acres remains Marin's highest priced active listing-please call … (1 comments)

corte madera: Marin County Absorption Rates Becoming Bloated - 07/26/06 07:53 AM
Marin County, California sits just north of San Francisco and boasts some of the most expensive real estate in the nation.  Last month, the median home price in Marin County again tickled the million dollar barrier, falling just short of that astonishing threshold. 
While those living in Marin (Mill Valley, Tiburon, Belvedere, Ross, Kentfield, San Anselmo, San Rafael, Greenbrae, Corte Madera, Larkspur, and Novato) are often well-heeled, they are not immune to the effects of rising interest rates and the overwhelming barrage of mostly negative media coverage of the "state-of-the-market."  While prices in Marin have continued rising incrementally over the past few … (0 comments)
