39 Corte Mesa Ave, San Rafael - JUST SOLD!

I am so excited for my first time home buyers that scooped up this spacious PUD in the gorgeous Dominican area of San Rafael.  I was a bit discouraged when I first took this sweet couple on because they wanted to take advantage of their option to buy with an FHA loan.  With a budget of $600K, I knew they would not be able to get a single family home which left me condos, townhomes or PUD's as the only option.  Most condos and towhomes are not approved for FHA loans in Marin anymore, so talk about being limited in options.  While I couldn't blame them for wanting to use a loan with only 3.5% down, the market has been so fierce with multiple offers, bidding wars and cash buyers beating out anyone with small down payments in the last couple of months.  And so it happened...they got beat out on two condos by cash buyers initially.  As my search continued, I found this unit sitting on the market just over 30 days...I thought that was unusual since almost everything is selling immediately...so I insisted we check it out. I am so glad we did because the photos on MLS did not do it justice!  The unit was awesome...you simply could not find anything under $600K with this amount of space and in such a great location!  Not only did it meet their budget and needs, I got it for them UNDER asking price. Now, how often is that happening in Marin these days???
