First, it will remain a strong seller’s market but what do sellers need to do to take advantage of this?

Second, how will the work from home trend show up in real estate?

Third, interest rates will increase but how will that affect buyers?

As a Marin Realtor, I wanted to share some fun facts about our real estate market in 2021. What was the most and least expensive house sold? How many houses sold in multiple offers and what percentage were all cash? Find out this and more when you watch this video.

My client found a larger replacement property so it was time to say goodbye to this beautifully remodeled condo.  Our strategic marketing plan captured interested buyers from several different Bay Area counties.
The success of our approach was evident in the 4 offers and 15% over asking.
