realtor: Pacific Union International | Novato Real Estate Market Update (October 2011 Novato Home Sales Report) - 11/08/11 06:56 PM
Much like August 2011, Novato, CA home sales continued to surpass expectations in September 2011, which is traditionally a very slow month for closings in Marin County. Indeed, buyers continue to move very quickly on well-priced and/or unique real estate opportunities. The average sales price of Novato homes has swung wildly this year from month to month. For example, the average sale price in June was $626K. In September it was $530K. September’s trades averaged 117 days on market, were about 1,870 sq. ft., and averaged roughly $258 sq. ft. Novato’s  absorption rate (e.g., number of months’ inventory of homes for sale based on last … (0 comments)

realtor: Pacific Union San Rafael, CA Real Estate Update (March 2011 Home Sales Report) - 03/18/11 02:38 PM
San Rafael, CA's February 2011 home sales slowed to 22 after a momentous January in which we had 32 homes sell. The entry level price band (under $600K) remains strong - 35 of these homes are currently in escrow (WOW!). Meanwhile, the $600K to $800K price band (a mix of entry level and move-up homes) remains buyer-friendly and accounts for another 24 of homes in escrow. Interestingly, the entry level market is virtually the only segment of San Rafael inventory experiencing any meaningful traction - for example, of the 22 homes which sold last month, 16 were priced under $800,000, although … (0 comments)

realtor: Pacific Union Novato Real Estate Market Update (March 2011 Novato Home Sales Report) - 03/18/11 02:35 PM
Febuary 2011 resulted in excellent home sales numbers for Novato (34 homes sold in February, compared with 22 trades in January). It appears that this momentum is carrying into March as buyers act quickly on well-priced and/or unique opportunities. The average sales price of Novato homes in Febuary 2011 was $534K. These homes averaged 156 days on market, were about 2,092 sq. ft., and averaged roughly $267 sq. ft. Novato's  absorption rate (e.g., number of months' inventory of homes for sale based on last month's sales totals) is an astonishingly low 3.35 months' worth of available inventory overall (114 single family … (0 comments)

realtor: San Rafael, CA Real Estate Update (February 2011 Home Sales Report) - 02/11/11 02:24 PM
A suprising uptick in sales occurred last month (January 2011) in San Rafael - we had 32 homes sell compared with 26 in December. The entry level price band (under $600K) remains strong - 26 of these homes are currently in escrow. Meanwhile, the $600K to $800K price band (a mix of entry level and move-up homes) remains buyer-friendly and accounts for another 17 of homes in escrow. Interestingly, the entry level market is virtually the only segment of San Rafael inventory experiencing any meaningful traction - for example, of the 26 homes which sold last month, 27 were priced under … (0 comments)

realtor: Marin County, CA Luxury Home Sales (January 2011 | Pacific Union International) - 01/04/11 05:14 PM
With 6 trades in December 2010, the luxury property real estate market in Marin County (properties and estates over $2 million) experienced one of its slowest months. This, despite the fact most economists and consumers feel that that the overall economic and housing environments are improving. Indeed, for real buyers there are extraordinary opportunities available right now. Pricing in the marketplace (especially for homes that have remained on the market through the Winter months) is softer than ever and “value” is evident in the luxury segment. In line with normal seasonal adjustments, the inventory of luxury homes for sale is very … (0 comments)

realtor: Pacific Union Real Estate Mill Valley Report (July 2010 Home Sales Update) - 08/31/10 09:48 PM
The number of homes sold in the Mill Valley, California real estate market rose once again and Mill Valley's touchstone price band ($1 million to $2 million) posted another solid month. For the most part,  buyers now speak confidently about our market as it is truly a unique time in history to buy discounted homes with virtually free money.
Nonetheless, recent national media coverage has focussed on the slowdown in the number of sales nationwide, giving some buyers pause. But, Mill Valley is not Detroit or Las Vegas. The first time home buyer tax credit never impacted Mill Valley in a significant … (1 comments)

realtor: Pacific Union San Rafael CA Real Estate Market Report (June 2010 Home Sales) - 06/16/10 03:21 PM
San Rafael, California real estate sales remained strong in May 2010. We had 41 trades (compared to 44 in April). The entry level price band (under $600K) remains very hot — over half of these homes are currently in escrow. Meanwhile, the $600K to $800K price band (a mix of entry level and move-up homes) remains tepid with 27% of homes in escrow. The inventory for single family homes for sale increased this month to 189 homes. Increased supply is typical this time of year as many of the overpriced homes from early in the year remain on the market and new listings are added.

realtor: Pacific Union International Novato Real Estate Market (May 2010 Home Sales Report) - 05/16/10 10:38 AM
The Novato, California real estate market continues to exhibit strength across nearly all price bands (not so for homes priced above $1.5 million). April 2010 saw 24 sales (same as February 2010). The average sales price of Novato homes in April 2010 rose over 3% to to $656,699. These homes averaged 93 days on market, were about 2,291 sq. ft., and averaged roughly $294 sq. ft.
Novato's price per square foot has hovered between 3-5% of $300 for a year now - in my mind, we are seeing the gradual recomposition of the market in the era of the "New Normal." Prices are holding steady. … (0 comments)

realtor: Marin County, CA. Real Estate Update — April 2009 (Homes For Sale & Price Ranges) - 04/19/09 10:53 PM

March 2009 new escrows up 17% from March 2008 (and 58% from February 2009) – In Marin County our most reliable indicator of changing market conditions is new escrow activity. New escrow activity bottomed out in December 2008 and began a modest ascent through January and February 2009. I believe the sharp increase in new escrows in March 2009 is a combination of demand returning to our market and the cyclical nature of the business. It stands to reason that thought is that April and May closings will rise accordingly.
Another interesting trend is the surge of activity in central and southern … (0 comments)

realtor: Tiburon & Belvedere Real Estate Market Report (April 2009 Home Sales Update) - 04/19/09 10:49 PM

There is nothing like Springtime on the Tiburon Peninsula, Corinthian Island, and Belvedere Island. Not only is the setting the most stunning in the World, but the wave of homes that hit the market this time of year is always awesome in its suddenness and impressiveness. Following a lackluster January & February 2009, March delivered 6 sales, including five sales in the $3 million to $10 million price range. Certainly, some extremely alluring inventory has found its way to market over the past few weeks, as we now have 19 homes on the market over $5 million, with more to … (0 comments)
