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.

It is always fun helping a family upgrade to a larger home.  This family required a large flat grass backyard – no exceptions!  This mission almost took a year to be successful as this is a feature that is highly desirable for many buyers.

This Fall we found 38 Mohawk and beat out multiple offers!  The house checked all the boxes with the backyard gate to the park, big bedrooms, and natural light in a wonderful neighborhood.

Congratulations!

Inventory is low around the holidays but it is still a good time to buy with less competition. And if you want to sell, this is the time of year you should be prepping your home for the Spring Market. Contact me for tips on how to prep your home to get top dollar!

This off-market listing came to my attention on a recent Monday morning. I immediately dropped everything to preview it. I called my clients from the house to say ” I think this is the one!” The large flat backyard and flexible floor plan made it an easy yes. We wrote an offer that same day.

Our quick actions paid off since the pre-emptive offer was accepted! With thorough due diligence and active negotiations, I was able to get my clients a significant credit too.

Congratulations!
