Prices and Optimism Rise in Marin

By
Real Estate Agent with USA Realty and Loans

As spring blossoms in Marin the activity increases and so do the prices of the homes.  People are

optimistic, as the weather turns better so does our economy locally.

 

We have had an increase in homes sold from January to February but the important figure is the

53% rise in homes sold compared to last year at this time.  Consequently our median price is up

8.5%.  I would expect home prices to continue to tick upward as the year goes along.  Who knows

when interest rates will rise but that's a sure bet they will.  Last but not least is the expiration of the

tax credit in April.  That's free money for homebuyers.

 

So, with home prices on the rise, interest rates as low as they are going to get and the last chance at the 

tax credit there's only one question for prospective home buyers.  "Why Wait?"
