Pacific Union Int’l – Christie’s Great Estates | Marin County, CA Luxury Home Sales (May 2011). As expected, April 2011 luxury home sales increased — we had 14 trades (there were 9 in January and just 7 in February 2011). While international events of the past several months have been a roller coaster, it appears the stock market’s rally is unabated. Many believe that the overall economic and housing environments are improving, particularly in the Bay Area where the recovery in real estate is being spearheaded by San Francisco. There are extraordinary opportunities available right now for buyers. Pricing in the marketplace (especially for homes that started off overpriced) is soft and “value” is evident in virtually every corner and every price segment of the luxury market. In line with normal seasonal adjustments, the inventory of luxury homes has risen over the past month — 144 properties are in the MLS over $2 million in Marin (this is somewhat lower than years past as many home value have dipped below $2 million).
Marin County cities recording luxury home sales between $2 million and $4 million in March 2011 included: Tiburon (2), Belvedere (4); Kentfield (2), and Mill Valley (1); Greenbrae (2); San Anselmo (1). These homes averaged 90 days on market. Their average sales price was $2.699 million (roughly $802 per square foot), with an average of 3,511 square feet. Marin County’s ultra-luxury market (homes priced in the $4 million and up range) accounted for two sales last month (one in Mill Valley and the other in Kentfield) and there are currently three more of these homes in escrow. Note: As a member of the Top Agent Network (top 10% in Marin) and the Marin Platinum Group (Top 100 agents), I have access to a database with several dozen luxury homes not currently on the MLS, but discretely offered for sale off-market.
