2016 has proven to be an unusual year for the Marin real estate market. With the equity markets in turmoil over the exit of Britain from the EU (and the resignation of their Prime Minister), there will be a delay in U.S. interest rate hikes for the foreseeable future.
While that bodes well for our real estate market, the free fall of equities needs to be contained lest we see a fallout in real estate prices come this fall when bonuses are paid.
So many of our buyers rely on the benefit of their equity position for their down payment that Marin is likely to see a home price correction unless the international market corrects itself and fast.
Locally, we are certain to have continual expansion of tech companies and a continued inflow of top-level employees to our region. Thus, a need for homes and quality schools. All of which won’t change over the next year. Â
The demand for Marin housing has sustained positive levels of growth for over four years now. However, ...
MarinScapes, now in it's 28th year, is one of the "best of the best" of our region's fine art exhibits and it's happening this week! There are 30 well-known, juried landscape artists who's work will be featured during the four-day event at the lovely Escalle Winery in Larkspur. PLUS, the annual event raises funds for Buckelew Programs that help our Marin neighbors in need. So you can support the community while enjoying some jaw-dropingly beautiful works of art.
It all kicks off on Thursday, June 23rd with the opening night gala where guests will have the first opportunity to view and purchase pieces from the 2016 show. Tickets for the dinner, being catered by one of my personal favorites, Insalata's Restaurant, can be purchased at http://www.buckelew.org/marinscapes...

Small is simple, small is green. This is the motto behing Oakland's upcoming new residential community named Atomic City. The idea is that less is more in terms of living space, and can result in a much smaller carbon footprint as well. These micro-homes range in size from 833 SF for a 2BD/1BA for the Neutron residence, to 1,264 SF for the largest 1BD+/1BA Manhattan model. Even more intriguing is the fact that these are net-zero homes. If you are not familiar with the term, then here is a quick refresher:...
