“Ideal” is a Shangri-La kind of a word. It’s not just because of its feel-good, pie-in-the-sky definition (“a standard of perfection or excellence”)—but because contained right there inside the word itself is a tacit admission. It’s only an idea—not something necessarily connected to concrete reality.Marin County residents don’t come across “ideal” anything very often in their daily routines, so few would be surprised to learn that even in something as important as determining the value of their Central Marin residence, the calculation turns out to be less than straightforward. The ambiguity owes to the fact that it all depends on how you look at it.In reality, there are two quite different approaches for determining any Marin County home’s value. Ideally, both methods would produce the...

Who can actually close a 203k loan fast in Marin County?There are lots of lenders who profess to be able to close a renovation loan quickly and then there are those who actually do close them quickly. But remember it isn't all on their shoulders, your client or the client must take an active role in getting their financial data to the lender promptly. The clock starts ticking once that info reaches the lender. It is all about the team you put together when it comes to closing loans fast or faster than the competition. What is the average number of days that you close a renovation loan would be a fair question for your loan officer.In Marin County and surrounding areas right now I have to put my vote in the box for Tom Huntley of HomeBridge Financial services.  Tom is head and shoulders ...

After a lengthy period of overcast skies and a good deal of rain, the sun has returned to our happy peninsula, just in time for daylight savings. Never-mind that just like January 2009, February 2009 gave rise to just 2 home sales in Belvedere and Tiburon combined; sunshine, recently improving numbers in the stock market (considered by some a leading indicator), and pent-up buyer demand just might be the right recipe for increased sales as Spring sets in. Certainly, some nice inventory has found its way to market over the past few weeks, including 9 homes over the past week (among these are a couple of highly desirable Belvedere Lagoon properties). It will be interesting to see how the year unfolds because many of the homes that were taken off the market during November and December 20...

The current issue of the San Francisco Business Times has a special supplement "Luxury Living" that  features the top 4 Zip Codes in the Bay Area where property values continue to go up despite the general downturn of the real estate market.  One of those Zip Codes is 94920 (Tiburon and Belvedere) here in Marin County.                               A brief excerpt from the article:  Yes, residents cite the excellent public schools, the burgeoning sense of community, and the Tiburon International Film Festival  as reasons for moving to tony Tiburon or Belvedere, but really, in Marin's highest earning Zip Code it all comes down to the views.     You'd be hard pressed to find a house on Belvedere at any price that doesn't have a glimpse of water.  At an average sales price last year of alm...

In a recent home staging consultation I was presented with this traditional-style master bedroom, as furnished by the homeowners (picture below).   The furnishings were appropriate for the beautiful '30's-era stone house in a prestigious older neighborhood. From the master bedroom, potential home-buyers would then turn to the right to enter a small private room leading to the closets and master bath. However... ...the young couple was using the small side room for their home office and catch-all room. It was jammed with mis-matched plastic laminate office furniture, computers, wiring, books, stacks of paper, and adorned with toys belonging to their small children. Plants were taking their last gasp.  Just how many of us live, right? Unfortunately when selling a home this presents a tot...

     A couple of days ago I received a phone call from the San Francisco Chronicle. The Chronicle is preparing an article that will come out on September 5th regarding some of the high end neighborhoods in the Bay Area, and how those neighborhoods have been affected by the current real estate market.  The Chronicle also wanted to know why people move to Tiburon and Belvedere?     I shared that I believed that there are certain mico-communities in the Bay Area that have actually appeciated during the downturn in today's real estate market. And, Tiburon and Belvedere are just such markets.     Homes here in Tiburon and Belvedere continue to appreciate because of macro economic factors unique to this area such as high desirability, natural geographical beauty, climate, lifestyle, lack of a...

      On June 18, 2007 the Marin Independent Journal reported that Belvedere resident Robert Bernheim is appealing before the Belvedere City Council and Planning Commission, with several neighbors, to protest  the new construction where steel columns and platforms have unexpectedly jutted into their views.  Belvedere City Manager George Rodericks said the issue with the construction project is that, "the neighbors should have been more aware of what that structure was going to be."     The IJ also reports that, "the latest view snafu follows other view related discussions in nearby Tiburon over the past view months, including the term "borrowed views" (sight lines that cut across a neighboring vacant lot) in the town's construction guidelines.  Borrowed Views, as you'll see below, also ...

What could be more innocent then going on-line and looking at homes for sale? The San Francisco Chronicle calls it the new pornography (Pornography leads in most web site hits followed by Real Estate) , a delicious way to waste away in Computerville! All these intimate photos of multi-million dollar homes and virtual tours.  How fun is this? It's all so simple and easy! Maybe not. You saw an ad on television or received a harmless looking email offering you property information by going to their web site. Which is a reasonable offering, unless of course, you have to provide any personal information.         Once you've provided your address, phone number, or email your in the "system".  Don't be surprised if your inundated with emails, snail mail, and phone calls while your having dinne...
