tam realty: Heads-up for TIC Investors - 02/11/09 11:55 AM
In January 2009, Anne Kruaskopf, Senior Special Counsel of the SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), indicated in a 'no-action' letter (found at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/cf-noaction/2009/omni011409.htm) that a proposed offer and sale of undivided tenant in common (TIC) interests might fall under the Securities Act of 1933. While this letter is in response to a very specific set of circumstances and stops short of a definitive ruling, it serves as a warning to TIC investors to carefully consider each and every offering presented to them.

tam realty: Fairfield REO statistics: 01/15/09 - 01/15/09 10:02 PM
1/15/09:   Here's a snapshot of the REO market in Fairfield as of the beginning of January 2009.
Items of note:
1.)   Asking price and Selling price are merging: indicates that buyers and sellers both agree on price.   This predicts the bottom of the market (for this segment in this market) as there is no downward pressure from buyers.
2.)   Sales prices have adjusted downward dramatically over the last 6 months.
3.)   Volume of REO activity has exploded - now dominating the market.

tam realty: Recovery: Marin County Condo/Townhomes - 01/09/09 12:47 PM
Are we nearing the bottom for condos and townhomes in Marin County?
One sector of our real estate market here in Marin has begun to stand out, condominiums and townhomes. In my previous blogs, I have presented the raw statistics of units sold and price changes over the last year or two. Now I've taken that analysis to the next step - and below you will find sales data for the last 15 years. You can clearly see the market correction over the last couple of years. More than that, though, I've plotted a baseline 5% appreciation line as a comparison … (0 comments)

tam realty: Marin County housing stats: Dec 2008 - 01/08/09 01:35 PM
2008 is in the books - and I have compiled Marin County's stats below.
Overall, our Multiple Listing Service, BAREIS, reported 1,839 transactions in the County of Marin in 2008.   This figure includes single family homes, condo/townhomes, business opportunities, farms and vacant land.   The total 1,839 transactions represent a 20% decrease from the total figure of 2,717 reported in 2007.

tam realty: Marin County housing stats: Oct 2008 - 11/21/08 01:28 PM
The media is bombarding us with economic information these days. We see it on the television, read it in the newspapers (does anyone still read newspapers?), hear it on the radio and...find it online!
The thing is, most of the information we receive is macroeconomic in nature. So, for those of us interested in the local Marin County housing markets, I'll will continue to produce relevant sales data and, on occasion, even some predictions - as I have for the last several years.Following are a few charts which help tell the story of the Marin County housing market through October 2008.Single … (0 comments)

tam realty: Bolinas Real Estate Market update: 1/8/08 - 01/08/08 04:59 PM
The small coastal town of Bolinas in Marin County, California is home to a little over 1,200 residents.   Located about 30 miles North of San Francisco on California Hwy 1, the Bolinas real estate market consists of fewer than 500 homes.
Since 2005, the logarithmic pricing trend based on price/square foot has declined annually approximately 10%.   But, it should be noted that with only around 1 dozen home sales per year, charts and trends might not do a very good job of reporting the overall health of the market.
Following are the homes sold in Bolinas as reported by the Bay Area Real … (0 comments)

tam realty: 1st quarter home purchase to maximize tax benefits! - 11/29/07 11:28 AM
How much tax will I save when I buy a house?
Purchasing a home in the 1st quarter of the year should maximize the tax savings generated for the first/partial year of home ownership.
In parts of the county where the cost of purchasing a home exceeds the cost of renting a home, residential homebuyers are frequently told that they will "save taxes" by buying a home.   So what does that mean?   How much taxes will the homebuyer save?   When will the homebuyer ‘receive' those savings?   And, what else should the homebuyer know?
Since I am neither a CPA nor an attorney, I cannot … (0 comments)

tam realty: San Geronimo Valley 2007 stats - not hype! - 10/22/07 10:09 PM
It seems that every day we're bombarded with inflammatory mis-information regarding the real estate market by folks who base their success on the sales of their newspapers or media ad-time - not real estate sales.  
So, it's up to the real estate professionals - those who base their success on helping others buy and sell real property - to provide real data to those who need it.
OK, enough from the soapbox!   Here are the year-to-date statistics for single-family home sales (from January 2006 through early October 2007) for the San Geronimo Valley in Marin California.
