Eichler Event: June 15th 10am-4pm 2013 San Rafael

pristine_eichler_in_marinwood_500 

As an Eichler homeowner, I found a nice brochure was placed on my windshield today announcing an Eichler event taking place June 15th  in San Rafael.  About 50 years ago, Joseph Eichler had over 10,000 homes built throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, but now it can be hard to find replacement products for these mid-century marvels. ...

7 Sunrise Hill, Orinda - SOLD

dsc08257_1920

The Bay Area's real estate market is extremely competitive these days for buyers.  And, lots of people searching for homes in the area are now seriously exploring new construction options, as available existing home inventory is very low.

Pre-fab homebuilding is a lower-cost, timesaving option for building new homes.  Combining exceptional modern design with "green" building techniques, all while streamlining the construction process, interest in pre-fab homes has peaked.  However, in highly populated urban areas, there is a shortage of buildable land.

I'm pleased to have assisted the lucky buyers of a parcel of land located at 7 Sunrise Hill Road, Orinda, CA 94563, which recently closed for $339,000.  The lot measures around ½ acre...

Mill Valley for $1,850,000 vs. San Anselmo for $1,800,000

Two great properties, same price point, both close to town but completely different cities in Marin County. I talk to buyers every day either moving from San Francisco or across country that want to live in Mill Valley. Mill Valley has so much to offer. Great for families, quaint European style town center, good restaurants, 2 Whole Foods markets, great schools but the #1 reason my clients want to live in Mill Valley. Any guesses?  It's close proximity to San Francisco.

When buyers start the process of searching for a new home in Marin they consider and weigh many factors. Weather, outdoor space, a garage,#of Bedrooms and bathrooms, square footage, pool vs no pool, etc. When you work downtown San Francisco or along the penninsula you also have to factor in commute time. No one wants a long commute.

Per square foot, Mill Valley averages $550-650 per square foot, while San Anselmo averages $450-520 per square foot. In addition Mill Valley can be wetter and colder than San Anselmo...
