Well here they are! The latest Marin statistics. If you take a moment and click on the magic slippers, you will be able to see for yourself how Marin REALLY is doing. Too often the news in the papers leaves one feeling as if we are in a whirling house in the middle of a tornado. Just like Dorothy we are flying through the air without any control. When you finally are on the ground, you feel as if you aren't in Kansas anymore.
Not in Kansas, well, I should say not. Marin is its own place. Although we have seen a slowing in the past month, we are still holding our own. Fewer homes sell, but when they do, they are selling at fair prices. With mortgages at historic low rates, Buyers are in a unique position to get the home of their dreams, perhaps at the price the home would have sold for in the beginning of last year, in some cases lower. If you have seen in Marin as long as I have then you know, that opportunity will not last forever. Prices will rise. They always do.
Are you one of those people who wish that had bought a bigger home, a newer home or even just any home years ago. You know then that they only person who has regrets in regards to Real Estate in Marin would be the one who never bought any. (Ok, there are some people who had risky mortgages, and bought at the height of the market, perhaps overbidding on a property - but those are the minority here in Marin)
If you have been putting off buying a home. Don't make the mistake of waiting too long. Once this opportune time passes don't live in the land of "should have,. would have, could have."
Buy the house this year and then say, just like Dorothy and so many Marinites have said,
"There's no place like home."

What year did you graduate from Tam High?
I actually graduated from Los Altos High School. My husband and I moved to Mill Valley in 1981. He graduated from Lowell and our daughters are 5th generation San Franciscans.
I felt immediately at home when I saw Mill Valley. It was a little rough to get my husband to move across the bridge, but when he did, he never looked back.
Marin is definately home to us. And you know what they say, "There's no place like home!"
