Bay Area home sales

Single-family homes in Marin seem to be doing fairly well compared to the rest of the Bay. While sales are down almost across the board around the Bay Area, prices in Marin continue to break new ground.

Marin’s August median price of $1,000,000 is among the highest in the nation and by far the top in the Bay Area. Marin’s August median is also an 8.7% increase from ’06. Not bad considering the down-turn in the housing market. However, like the rest of the Bay, volume is way off -down a whopping 32.8% from last year.

The following chart compares home sales in Marin and across the Bay Area. Click on the chart below for complete details...

Market Summary | August 2007

After a slight dip in July, the median home price inched back above the $1MM mark to $1,025,000 last month. This marks a 5.5% increase from August 2006. Despite the improved median price, sales volume was way off last year’s 244 closings. Not much of a surprise given what's going on in the mortgage industry right now.

Here's a quick snapshot from the MDH Newsletter with a summary of the market trends for August...

43-homes approved on the Tiburon Peninsula

A Tiburon property owner comes one step closer to seeing their decades-long dream of developing 43-homes on the Tiburon Peninsula come true.

Last Tuesday, county supervisors reaffirmed a 30-year old agreement to subdivide 110-acres along Paradise Dr. The 1976 agreement with Martha Co. (landowners) allows for a new 43-home subdivision along Paradise Dr., as well as the possibility of more building on the ridgeline.

The Planning Commission has 14-months to review the plan and we expect an intense fight by Tiburon residents. Obviously, there’s much concern by neighbors over the potential impact of the development of Martha's land and you can be sure it will continue to be challenged.
