kentfield: Marin County (San Francisco Bay Area) Real Estate April / May 2011 (Pacific Union International Realtors - 05/09/11 03:32 PM
Despite formidable world events over the past few months, the roiling volatility of the equity markets (although things seem to have settled of late), and increased gas prices, the first quarter of 2011 experienced positive trends in many San Francisco Bay Area real estate markets. Properties selling below $1 million, which are over 70% of the closings in the six counties served by Pacific Union International, are experiencing modest to very favorable increases in units sold. In many markets we are enjoying units sold up nearly double the closings in the marketplace from Q1 2009. A refreshing trend which we feel … (0 comments)

kentfield: Pacific Union Marin Luxury Homes Report (April 2010) - 04/25/10 10:57 PM
As with many of Marin County's micro-markets, Marin's luxury home market is showing signs of increased velocity and buyer optimism. As reported in previous months, "real buyers" continue to snap up homes in prestige locations such as Belvedere, Ross, Kent Woodlands, etc., along with "value" properties with locational upside, views of San Francisco, southern exposures, knolltop properties. In the $2 million to $4 million price band, sales have eclipsed last year's low numbers, inventory is down significantly and the number of homes with accepted offers (in escrow) is very high. This combination of factors looks promising for continued improvement. And we are not alone - … (0 comments)
kentfield: Marin County, CA. Real Estate Update — December 2009 (Homes For Sale & Price Ranges) - 12/19/09 10:08 AM
The Marin County, California real estate market approaches the new year with momentum. While the beginning of 2009 was terrible for sellers and the market overall, the latter half of 2009 was quite strong across many market segments, giving brokers and home owners a reason for optimism in 2010. While year over year prices are down in many price segments and locations within Marin, some areas have actually seen prices increase (albeit nominally) year over year. Indeed, I believe that many brokers feel as though absent further crisis, we are at or near the end of the downward cycle - after 3+ years. As for bread and butter homes … (0 comments)

[Click HERE for the full article, courtesy of www.ImagineMarin.com] Building on a trend noted in last month’s report, media coverage of the overall economy has improved.

According to that organization, home prices are expected to rise 2 percent next year — over 80% of economists surveyed think the recession is over and recovery has begun.

kentfield: Marin County Trends $500K to $1 million (Q1 to Q3 2009) - 10/21/09 11:27 AM
The year 2009 in Marin County, California has been a roller coaster ride for real estate sellers, buyers, and agents. To the extent that trends can be identified, they have proven particularly ethereal and fleeting. Nonetheless, it does appear that the one market sector that has shaken out this year is the entry level single family home market. Prices appear to have hit bottom in Novato's (Northern Marin) sub-$500K sector. Seemingly, most agents agree that to find a "livable" home in a good neighborhood is very difficult to find under $500K. Inventory in that price band is slim and quickly put … (0 comments)

kentfield: Marin County, California, Luxury Homes Report (August 2009–Sales and Inventory Analysis) - 08/21/09 01:48 PM
Marin County, CA’s luxury real estate market segment continues to take shape in the aftermath of the equities meltdown of Fall 2008. In our New Economy, buyers are placing emphasis on prestige locations, sweeping views, grand appointments, compelling “estate history,” and impressive scale. The luxury market in Marin remains weighted towards homes priced under $4 million, although we did have 3 sales of homes priced over $4 million in July 2009. The number of sales in July 2009 is off by 74% from July 2008. The news is not all negative, however, as we had several significant properties trade last month … (1 comments)
kentfield: Luxury Homes Report (July 2009–Sales and Inventory Analysis) - 07/30/09 10:16 AM
Marin County, CA’s luxury real estate market segment is slow and remains weighted towards homes priced under $4 million — just one home priced over $4 million sold in June 2009 and it was an off-the-market sale. The number of sales in June 2009 is off by over 40% from June 2008, yet the average price of sold homes is down just 3% from last year. In Marin, only the homes with special locations, views, or features seem to be getting significant attention.

kentfield: Marin County Real Estate (February 2009 Homes For Sale Market Report) - 02/14/09 05:03 PM
As of this writing, the Stimulus Bill and its apparently watered down home buyer tax credit is being finalized. Yet economists and consumers are grim. Ergo, the Marin County, California real estate market continues its slow and steady march into the teeth of a tireless media storm of negativity. Yes, the market overall is fairly slow, but not as slow as it may appear. Sales in Northern Marin’s Novato were up 30% January 2009 over January 2008–as I like to say, "Give Yourself a Raise–Move to Novato!" The chart below shows a 90-day rolling average of Mill Valley’s new listings and … (0 comments)
