35 Bryn Mawr Drive, San Rafael CA 94901 - Coming Soon!
Inventory in the Marin County housing market is historically low as we head into our busy spring season. Spring is a great time to list and sell a property for a few key reasons:
- Weather - it's just more fun and convenient to house hunt when the weather is dry and warm.
- Timing - Finding the right property in the spring means getting into contract and closing escrow by Summer, getting settled during the summer months and hit the ground running when the new school year starts.
- Taxes - Post tax season. Budgets in place and 2012 plans being made.
- Renewal - Spring is just a good time for fresh starts!
