San Marin End of Year Update

The northern end of Novato, San Marin, is one of the last areas a buyer can find a sweet single family residence in Marin County for under $800,000 with a great back yard.  This may not be the case for much longer, but I do find myself showing homes here to buyers that have been priced out of southern and even central Marin.  Don't overlook San Marin! 

Check out these prices for closed homes in the last 6 months!

1 Hawk Ridge Ct, Novato JUST SOLD!

1hawkridgectnovatoca94949-001_2200

Congratulations are in order for my buyer that just closed on 1 Hawk Ridge Court in beautiful Pacheco Valle.  With such limited inventory, I have been on the home hunt for him since June!  By mailing buyer letters to some targeted complexes in Novato, we even previewed off market properties, yet so little to choose from.  However, this PUD came on the market at the end of July for a few days and then was quickly pulled off the MLS due to some seller/tenant complications.  With my buyers mind set on this lovely home, I decided...

69 Lincoln Drive, Sausalito JUST SOLD!

69 Lincoln Drive, Sausalito closed today at the asking price of $879,000 after a 9 week escrow period.  I represented the buyer on this transaction which was one of the most challenging sales in a long time!  My buyer had a VA loan which made it difficult to find a home in Marin in which a seller would accept an offer requiring a completely clear Section 1 pest report.  With most homes in Marin receiving multiple offers, we were miraculously able to get the buyers offer accepted on this home.  However, this was not the only hurdle...we also had the agreement...

10 Rowe Ranch Drive, Novato JUST SOLD!

I am so excited for my buyer who just closed today on the purchase of 10 Rowe Ranch Drive, a beautiful Single Family Residence in the southern Novato neighborhood of Ignacio.  This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home was impeccably maintained by the previous owners and has upgrades galore!  The location is highly desirable being so close to the 101 corridor leading to SF and the Wine Country, also in close proximity to the Indian Valley hiking trails, Paradise Foods and many upscale shops and restaurants. This home closed...

Is a home warranty really worth it?

When purchasing a home, your agent will ask you if you want a home warranty.  It is an item on the C.A.R. Residential Purchase Agreement in which the cost is negotiable between the buyer and the seller.  My buyers often ask me if it is necessary.  The answer is no, it is not necessary, but in my opinion, well worth it.  Even if the buyer has to pay for it themselves, it should be done.  And I will tell you why...

A home warranty covers failures of the mechanical systems within the home due to normal wear and tear after close of escrow.  These systems include the furnace, water heater, air conditioning, electrical, attic and exhaust fans, ceiling fans, plumbing, plumbing stoppages and the appliances just to name a few.  The policies are very...

It's heatin' up in Marin! Where to go for a swim...

Looking for an inexpensive way to enjoy a family day?  Take the kids to a community pool!  Keep them busy for hours and tire them out while you bask in the Marin sun and read a book.  Here is a list of local community pools by city that offer public swim hours for non-members at a reasonable fee.  And if community pools or club memberships aren't your thing, you can call me and I will help you find a home for sale with a pool!

852 Diablo #204, Novato - JUST SOLD

I just sold this lovely end unit in Edgewater Commons. This turn-key, single level condo with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms is light and bright.  Great location near downtown Novato, shops, restaurants, parks and more! What a great investment! The new owners had tons of interest when they posted the unit for rent.  It rented one day after closing escrow!  The rental market is so hot!  Why not buy a property and rent it out so someone else can pay the mortgage off for you?  If you are looking for a great investment...
