Marin County Real Estate Market

I'm finding some of these homes stay on the market for a considerable amount of time, especially when you compare it to the city. I also have seen a substantial drop in inventory from the same time last year. Buyers still have some trepidation moving forward as consumer confidence hit a low for the year this past week. This seems to me a good time to think about purchasing and under cutting the listing price.

As the market will indicate, there are a good amount of homes that are a little overpriced, I say that because they are not selling and most buyers interpret that as being overpriced. I'm always amazed, particularly in the city, when buyers will be more enthusiastic about over bidding and driving prices up vs. finding a home that you don't have to compete on and you can get below market value. 

Remember you only make money in real estate when you acquire the property, not when you sell it. 

4 Bedroom Homes in Mill Valley

Having a larger family and the need for a home office, I know that a 3 bedroom home is simply not large enough for me, and I'm sure not for a lot of growing families. Currently there are 19 homes for sale in Mill Valley that are at least 4 bedroom and below $2M. Some of these have been on the market for a good amount of time and ripe for negotiation.

 

Sausalito view home with decks over looking the bay

One of the best lifestyle choices in Marin county, is finding a home with not just fabulous views of the Bay, but finding a home with a large deck to enjoy the spectacular days. Sausalito does get hit by the fog, but when the sun is out, the views are simply spectactular. I can't think of anything better than sitting on a deck, overlooking the bay after a hard days work.
