Finding a Home With Charm and Character in San Rafael

When Clint and Kim started their search over a year ago for their first home, they didn't want a cookie cutter home. They were looking for charm, character, something a little unique. 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,…
Marin Real Estate Forecast for 2012
Sunday, January 1st, 2012 at 7:34pm. 182 Views, 0 Comments.
I don't have a crystal ball and would never be so presumptuous as to predict the future. Instead I'll defer to the expert, Karl Case, co-creator of the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Home Price Index, considered the Dow Jones Industrial average of real estate.
In a recent article in the New York Times, it said the relentless decline in the Case-Shiller home price index since the financial crisis has many experts predicting a further decline in home values in 2012. "People are discouraged and fearful," Mr. Case said. "They thought home prices would never go down and now they think they'll never go up." Even though home prices on average are where they were in 2003, Mr. Case thinks the data masks signs that point to recovery.

The second Monday of each month Marin County realtors meet at the Aqua Hotel in Mill Valley to pitch new and upcoming listings and to share market stats and trends.
