pacific union: Tiburon / Belvedere (August 2010 Home Sales Update) — Pacific Union International - 09/11/10 12:29 PM
In line with annual trends, Tiburon and Belvedere home sales slipped  in July 2010 — we had just nine sales compared with 13 in July. Building on a trend noted in this report over the past few months, median sale prices continue to rise while asking prices continue to drop. Both of these very important market indicators point to an improving market and more realistic expectations by sellers — the median price of homes for sale is down 7% and the median price of homes sold is up 4%.

As asking prices dip and sales prices rise, we are also seeing … (0 comments)

pacific union: Pacific Union Real Estate Mill Valley Report (July 2010 Home Sales Update) - 08/31/10 02:48 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)

pacific union: Pacific Union International | Marin Luxury Homes Report (July 2010) - 07/26/10 05:42 AM
As reported in June 2010, “real buyers” continue purchasing “done” homes in prestige locations such as Mill Valley, Belvedere, Ross, Kentfield, etc., along with “value” properties with locational upside, views of San Francisco, southern exposures, and knolltop properties. Marin County’s luxury home real estate market reflects increased sales velocity driven by buyer optimism. In the $2 million to $4 million price band, June 2010 sales eclipsed last year’s total, inventory is down from last year, and the number of homes with accepted offers (in escrow) is high. This combination of factors looks promising for continued improvement. And we are not alone … (0 comments)

pacific union: Pacific Union Tiburon & Belvedere CA Real Estate Market Report (July 2010 Home Sales Update) - 07/25/10 03:32 PM
In June 2010, Tiburon and Belvedere experienced 13 home sales. Importantly, as evidenced by the chart below, several indicators point to an improving market — the median price of homes for sale is up 3% and the median price of homes sold is up 18%. 

Of course, keep in mind that last year (our basis for comparison) was the slowest in memory. Nonetheless, I think it is fair to say that the majority of real estate practitioners would agree that the field has tilted back to neutral position in most price bands. Moreover, the absorption rate of our listings is … (0 comments)

pacific union: Marin County, California (Home Sales Update July 2010) - 07/25/10 09:40 AM
We have multiple economic drivers and underlying fundamentals that impact our local real estate markets. Housing prices, interest rates, job growth and inflation/deflation are significant variables in the Bay Area housing market. While we could not predict either the economic shift that began in August 2007 or the duration of the economic volatility caused by the shift, we do have a few very positive fundamentals present today.   Interest rates for conforming mortgages ($729,750) and jumbo mortgages are currently at historic lows since Freddie Mac started recording in 1971 – see rates in the mortgage rate table on page two.

pacific union: Pacific Union Real Estate Mill Valley CA. Real Estate Report (July 2010 Home Sales Update) - 07/24/10 04:01 AM
The number of homes sold in the Mill Valley, California real estate market rose and Mill Valley’s touchstone price band ($1 million to $2 million) posted another solid month. In contrast to the previous three years, buyers now speak confidently about our market, recognizing that prices have tumbled significantly, interest rates are extraordinary, jobs numbers have improved, and media coverage concerning real estate has turned positive. Moreover, we are seeing an improved marketplace in San Francisco which is the bellweather for Mill Valley and Marin.
The number of homes for sale in Mill Valley is down incrementally to 143. After the brief slow … (1 comments)

pacific union: Pacific Union San Rafael CA Real Estate Market Report (July 2010 Home Sales Update) - 07/24/10 03:18 AM
 San Rafael, California real estate sales remained strong in June 2010. We had 45 trades (compared to 41 in May). The entry level price band (under $600K) remains hot — 37 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 25% of homes in escrow. The inventory for single family homes for sale increased slightly this month to 198 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.

pacific union: Pacific Union Novato Real Estate Market Update (July 2010 Home Sales Report) - 07/23/10 04:43 PM

The Novato, California real estate market continues its torrid year with 49 sales in June — up from 38 sales in May 2010. The average sales price of Novato homes in June 2010 was $644,778. These homes averaged 98 days on market, were about 2,162 sq. ft., and averaged roughly $306 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, particularly in the entry level and move-up price … (0 comments)

 Pacific Union International is the leading broker for Marin County luxury homes.
As reported in previous months, “real buyers” continue to snap up homes in prestige locations such as Mill Valley, Belvedere, Ross, Kentfield, etc., along with “value” properties with locational upside, views of San Francisco, southern exposures, knolltop properties. Without question, Marin’s luxury home market is showing signs of increased velocity and buyer optimism. In the $2 million to $4 million price band, May 2010 sales eclipsed last year’s total, inventory is down from last year, and the number of homes with accepted offers (in escrow) is high.

pacific union: Pacific Union International | Marin Real Estate Report (June 2010) - 06/25/10 04:50 AM
Year over year prices seem to have leveled in many price segments and locations within Marin — some areas have even seen prices increase (albeit nominally). Countywide supply and demand figures suggest an improving real estate environment.
Supply is up 12% from last year and sales of entry level (3 bedroom, 2 bath homes with at least 1,500 square feet and priced under $1 million) are up a modest 10% from May 2009. Recent news reports in the local media have noted increased median prices, but that reflects the fact that luxury homes are selling once again after a lackluster 2009.

Similar to May 2010, the number of homes sold in the Mill Valley, California real estate market rose and Mill Valley's touchstone price band ($1 million to $2 million) posted another solid month. Buyers are again speaking confidently about the market as prices have tumbled, interest rates are extraordinary, jobs numbers have improved, and media coverage concerning real estate has turned positive. I have a strong sense that many feel a tailwind.
