rush creek: Pacific Union International | Novato Real Estate Market Update (October 2011 Novato Home Sales Report) - 11/08/11 10:56 AM
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)

Febuary 2011 resulted in excellent home sales numbers for Novato (34 homes sold in February, compared with 22 trades in January).

rush creek: Pacific Union International Novato Real Estate Market (May 2010 Home Sales Report) - 05/16/10 03:38 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.

rush creek: Rush Creek, Novato (Marin County, California) - 10/03/08 10:49 AM
Novato's Rush Creek neighborhood is undeniably one of Marin County, California's, nicest and coveted neighborhoods. There is a lot to like. These luxury homes are newer, built in the past 10 years, and sit on giant parcels (generally, at least 1/2 acre). Many of these homes have pools and elaborate landscaping. The streets are wide and there is no through traffic. Rush Creek offers privacy and prestige.
Rush Creek's proximity to HWY 101 and a recently renovated downtown Novato with lots of great shopping, a farmers market, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods (set to open in the next few months), and various restaurants, … (0 comments)

rush creek: Novato Home Sales (Market Report) - 07/22/07 05:41 AM
Novato home sales and real estate values-have they hit slack tide? That's a tough question. While much of the rest of Marin continues to experience meaningful appreciation and, yes, even multiple offers. Novato home sales are a different story. Of course, Novato homes that are PRICED FOR TODAY'S MARKET, are nicely maintained, updated, and/or located in the most desirable neighborhoods continue to sell (especially those priced under $700,000). Once prices get up above $700,000, however, the percentage of homes in escrow (a good barometer of market strength) dips to about 20% until you get to the $1.5 million price range (at about 13%). These numbers clearly indicate … (0 comments)

Novato home sales and real estate values are proving to be somewhat sluggish as we enter the Spring selling season. Novato's homes that are nicely maintained, updated, and/or located in the most desirable neighborhoods continue to sell at a relatively quick pace (especially those priced under $700,000. Once prices get up above $700,000, however, the percentage of homes in escrow (a good barometer of market strength) dips to about 25%.
