December 2010 home sales in Mill Valley totaled 20. These trades sold for an average price of $1,149,219 and averaged 2,364 sq. ft. (or about $491 per sq. ft.). The end of 2010 saw a heightened sense of security from buyers of homes in the bread-and-butter Mill Valley price range of $1.5 million to $2 million. We had 6 such sales and another 5 between $1 million and $1.5 million. The number of listings actively on the market in the MLS a very low 64 - most sellers took their homes off the market as Winter set in. Inventory will increase again beginning in February and peak in May or June. It will be interesting to see how sales play out in Q1 as it appears that bonuses for employees working in the San Francisco financial sector may spur luxury sales in our highly desirable city.
The percentage of homes in escrow:
- Under $800,ooo - 38%
- $800,000 to $1 million - 21%
- $1 million to $1.5 million - 30%
- $1.5 million to $2 million - 21%
- Above $2 million - 10%
Listings in Homestead Valley and Sycamore Park generated the most calls this month.
