Friday, January 13th, 2012 at 1:15pm. 1384 Views, 1 Comments.
With a new year upon us, I wanted to provide fellow Eichler fans with a quick look back at the real estate market for our homes in Marin.
In 2011, a total of 50 Eichler Homes were sold in Marin County and I was proud to once again finish the year as the #1 Agent in Marin County for Eichler Home Sales. As a listing agent, my Eichler listings sold on average for 99% of their asking price in just 57 days. Eichler Homes that were not listed by me on average sold for only 93% of their asking price and took considerably longer (97 days) to sell.

They weren't disappointed! The house that captured their imagination was located in Central San Rafael and had been owned by Dr. William Galeno, the largest collector of Japanese armor in the west. Remnants of the past could still be found in the house. The heirs, who were selling, the house clearly were not tuned into the market conditions or realistic about the house and all the deferred maintenance. This listing held the record for the most days on the market in Marin - 841!
Then Clint and Kim came along...... and after a protracted negotiation,…
