Determining the list price
for your home is as much of an art as a science. There is no exact formula,
simply a range within which the sale price of your house will fall.  At any given time there are four factors that
affect the sale of your home:




 Location is the single most important factor in
determining the value of your home. It's
true, location, location, location. Sought after school district, view home, walkability to a town, proximity to parks, shopping and free... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ 

 

I had the pleasure of representing the buyer on a very
unique property in Larkspur. A contemporary home with floor to ceiling windows
and an open loft nestled in the hills; it has views of the Bay and the lights
at night.  It is minutes to downtown
Larkspur and Corte Madera and backs to Baltimore Canyon open space.  It truly is a special home for a special
buyer at an unbelieveable price for Larkspur - $661,000.

The Marin real estate market is red hot. Suddenly all cities
and neighborhoods are in high demand. Even homes with lots adjacent to 101, or
with sweeping views over gas stations or post office roofs, are selling for
over asking prices. 





Today was a big debate in the news about buyers bidding on
and purchasing homes without even seeing them. 
A bit absurd for most buyers, but a reality for others. 



I would say that those buyers fall in... ]]> </description>

Golden Gate Bridge no
longer takes cash at  toll booth starting March 27, 2013. In effort to save the
bridge district money ($16.8 million over the next eight years) and speed up
the traffic flow, all bridge crossers from Marin
County will be paying their tolls electronically.  Also, for the first time ever there will now
be a carpool lane (second lane from the right).  Please
check this link for the carpool rules. 



Basically there are several methods for paying the toll.

Today's SF Chronicle ran a most interesting article on the rebounding real estate market.  In brief, buyers are vying for limited inventories of properties which is creating bidding wars with multiple offers on properties and area median home prices rising 24.6% over last year.  The article contributes the surge to an improving economy, job growth (read that as buyer confidence again), which is extremely strong in the SF Bay Area.  Therefore, the San Francisco Bay Area seems to be the hottes... ]]> </description>
