These buyers were relocating from the city and were referred to me by clients I worked with in 2020. The remodeled house with a great layout, pool and sport court was love at first sight!
I was introduced to them in late July so from Hello to Close it was about 45 days. Fantastic in this market!
If you would like to know more about how to sell or buy a home in this market and have the best possible outcome please give me a call. Marin real estate can be tricky to navigate but I can help.
This Greenbrae home was 2856 sq ft with 4 bedrooms and 5.5 baths and located on a quiet cul de sac.

Marin Real Estate Market January Update
Marin Real Estate Market Update
The Marin real estate market was on fire in 2020 with record-setting sales volume and an increase in median home price. We saw an overall large 12% increase in prices in 2020 in Marin home sales. So what is happening now in the Marin Real Estate Market?
January is typically a slow month in Marin activity and many Realtors were able to take a deep breath in this January (at least the first half). We have seen the home sales market slow down, still busier than a normal January, but less activity than Q4 2020. Why? Lack of inventory! A small number of new listings are trickling into the Marin real estate market and buyers are waiting to gobble it up quickly, oftentimes with multiple offers. A simple supply and demand situation.
So what will spring give us in the Marin real estate market?
As we progress through Q1 of 2021 we expect to see more listings hit the market. As I am writing this blog, the MLS had the highest number of new listings we have seen so far in 2021 so things are heating up. April and May are typically the most active and we usually see the most listings come to the market around this time. Now with the COVID restrictions still in place for our county, the future is always unclear and historical data may not apply. Only time will tell but the migration pattern of San Franciscans to Marin may still occur through Spring, perhaps all of 2021.
If you are a seller, it is a great time to sell with a pent up buyer demand you are likely to have multiple buyers wanting to buy your home, and buying is still a good idea with more purchasing power with interest rates staying low.

Home Sales in Marin – the Most and Least Expensive
More info about home sales in Marin…..
Here is a quick fact about home sales in Marin…………
As a Marin County Realtor, I thought it would be fun to share with you the least and most expensive home that sold in Marin County. With a record-breaking year in home sales in Marin in regard to median home price and volume of home sales, we saw strong activity at ALL price points. The least expensive home sale was a cute bungalow not far from the ocean in Bolinas for $780,000 2bedroom/1 bath and 898 sq ft. The most expensive home sold in 2020 in Marin was in Tiburon with spectacular city and water views and a pool on 2.2 acres. The buyer paid $15,043,000 for 6 bedrooms/7 bathrooms and over 10,000 sq ft and sold in just 14 days (all cash!!)
There were close to 3000 homes that sold, besides these 2 in 2020, so the migration pattern from the city was real. As the COVID restrictions continue to loom, many buyers may still be looking to seek Marin to gain more space, more sunshine, easier access to outdoor space, and zoom rooms. We saw a huge uptick in demand for POOLS in Marin home sales! With everyone being homebound, many wanted to create a summer resort in the own backyard. Here is a link to some of the best home pools in the world https://www.urbandaddy.com/articles/43067/the-finest-swimming-pools-in-america
If you are a seller, it is a great time to sell because with pent-up buyer demand you are likely to have multiple buyers wanting to buy your home (of course you need to properly prep and price your home). And buying is still a good idea with more purchasing power with interest rates staying low.

Need Realtor Referrals? Corcoran has your back!
Realtor referrals anywhere in California
Back in January 2020, which seems like a lifetime ago during COVID, the brokerage I worked for, Zephyr, became the first franchisee of the new Corcoran Global Living (CGL). Now, what does that mean? Zephyr had been a strong independent brokerage in the Bay Area since the 1970s and when Michael Mahon, the CEO of Corcoran Global Living, approached Zephyr to become a franchisee of the brand the offer was too good to pass up. Corcoran Global Living’s mission is to find successful strong independent brokerages in California and Nevada (and soon to expand further) and collect them under one umbrella so they can have brand recognition, premium marketing materials, respected and connected Realtor referrals, and most importantly, each franchisee could maintain their local management and culture so their independence could continue. Why is this important? Because each local market is different than the next and to best accommodate those agents and clients you need to be able to do what is best on a local level! This is the best of both worlds (the fiercely independent brokerage and the national brand brokerage). Corcoran Global Living draws on the larger mothership, Corcoran Group, which is a high-end luxury brand in NYC, Hamptons, Chicago, Denver, Hawaii, and many other cities for name recognition, agent training, branding, Realtor referrals, and so much more.
So if you are thinking of moving or know someone moving out of Marin – I can help find trusted Realtor referrals with strong local knowledge of their real estate market. I have already referred a client to a CGL agent in Tahoe to purchase a second home and they had a 5 -star level of service. That is what you will get with all CGL agents! So hit me up with a Realtor referral!

Homes Sold in Marin in 2020 – What a Year!
The Homes I sold in Marin……
2020 was a year to remember, or most likely to forget, but thankfully I was able to help some people find happiness in a new home. But there were a lot of sleepless nights to get there.
So when the shut down happened in March 2020 Real Estate shut down too. I had a family in escrow to sell their home and 2 weeks away from closing. They had just bought a new home and they had a bridge loan in place to help them transition. I was concerned the county would not be able to process their deed and delay their close which would cause additional fees on their bridge loan. Oh no! So I was able to negotiate a quicker close with the buyers and do an electronic close. PHEW!
I had a repeat investor client purchase again, several first time home buyers relocating from the city, Marin residents looking for a larger home, and a Dad with his 2 teenagers move from their townhome to a single-family home so they can have their own backyard! But out of all the homes sold in 2020, one of my favorites is a young couple moving from the city and we had made several offers only to be outbid each time. I searched off-market properties and found them their dream home and they moved in days before their first baby was born. Again PHEW!
“Home” became the most important place in 2020. Preview how my clients bought and sold to find their perfect one! As a luxury Marin County Realtor, I can answer your questions about selling or buying Marin real estate to find your perfect home in 2021.
