I had the pleasure of representing the buyers on
the purchase of 1013 Margaret Court located in the very desirable Hillside Park
condos in Novato. After looking at a
number of condos in Southern Novato, the Margaret Court condo with 3 bedrooms,
2.5 baths, one car garage and lovely outdoor patio and privacy was a standout. This is the third transaction within several
months for my clients who recently retired, sold their Corte Madera home and
bought a new home in Novato. Margaret
Court, a great investment, will provide income for their retirement years. It sold for $629,000.Â

35 Mohawk Drive, Corte Madera 94925 - Just Sold!
 
Timing is everything! Maybe not everything but in the case
of working with my client to prepare, market and sell her home the timing was
crucial. Two years ago we started
discussing selling her home with a price point in the high $700k to $800k. Her
preference was to remain in her home while her daughter finished high school
and she figured out how to do that. Now,
two years later we were able to sell her home for $1,200,000, her daughter
graduated from high school and was accepted into her first choice school! Win,
Win, Win!

Although any buyer looking to
purchase a $2,500,000 home may be aptly considered "well-heeled," that doesn't
necessarily mean they have a spare $500,000 to put toward their down payment.
We often see the need to include a gift fund contribution from a family member
or life partner. But every loan has requirements for gift money acceptability,
and this is especially so in the realm of jumbo finance. In fact, many jumbo
loans do not permit gift money of any kind.
Fortunately, we have a competitive
jumbo product that provides great flexibility with the use of gift funds on
loans as high as $2,000,000. The gift money must be sourced from an eligible
donor, who should be a relative, guardian, fiancé, fiancée, or domestic partner.
Here is a bit more information on this loan product:
-
100% gift funds allowed on loans to $2,000,000 with at least 20%
down.
-
Donor is NOT required to...
