Marin Real Estate | 26 Scenic Avenue, San Anselmo | Jonathan Jacobs
Wednesday, April 25th, 2012 at 10:55pm. 33 Views, 0 Comments.
I just had the pleasure of helping my long-time clients purchase a cute home in the flats of San Anselmo. We had to move quickly and decisively to secure this property because the Marin real estate market has turned very competitive for certain price points. We were able to overcome a multiple offer situation and negotiated a good deal for everybody.
Located on a picture-perfect, tree-lined street, this charming three bedroom/two bathroom home features hardwood floors, a bright breakfast room, bonus room, as well as lovely molding and detail found in many 1920's San Francisco homes. With a flat yard that boasts mature magnolia and fruit trees, a deck off the kitchen which transitions to a patio in the backyard and an…

I'm thrilled to have assisted my client secure a great deal on a triplex in San Rafael. She was able to accomplish her goal of buying a property that would enable her to live closer to work and enjoy great weather, while securing an investment that would provide a stream of income from the other units to help pay for it.
Set in the lower hills of desirable Sun Valley neighborhood just off of Forbes Avenue, this mid-century modern triplex has a rare side-by-side orientation that offers privacy. Each unit has been well-maintained and has two bedrooms and one bathroom, a fireplace, a laundry area, a garage, as well as plenty of storage. You can also enjoy outdoor-living from the deck that each unit offers, with the principal unit…Marin Luxury Property Update | Is It A Buyers Market?
Friday, May 6th, 2011 at 12:39am. 196 Views, 0 Comments.
High-end real estate in Marin is still experiencing a buyer's market. Luxury properties priced over $2 million can be had at discounted prices. Buyers in this price range don't need loans, which makes them more nimble. Because there are fewer qualified buyers in this price range, they can cherry pick, and strike deals in their favor. In other words, cash is still king.
Home sales in the Marin luxury real estate market were flat when comparing the first four months of this year, to the same four months last year. According to the Bay Area Real Estate Information Service, there were 44 home sales valued over $2,000,000 through April 30, 2011. Coincidentally, during that same period in 2010 there were also 44 properties sold. The average…

Marin Luxury Real Estate Is A Buyer's Market
Thursday, September 9th, 2010 at 1:55am. 359 Views, 0 Comments.
There's still a buyer's market in Marin County as reported in the Marin Independent Journal. The supply of properties has doubled since January, and condos are more difficult to buy due to lender guidelines (down 20% year over year). Plus, there are fewer qualified buyers at every price point. However, homes that are free and clear are in high demand because the transaction can be closed in 30 days, as opposed to more than a year for some distressed properties.
Remember, real estate is very localized. Towns with more low-priced homes have more properties in contract than towns, or even neighborhoods, with a greater concentration of high-end homes ($2 million or more). It's been a stronger buyer's market in towns that have desirable schools (Greenbrae)…

Marketing Strategy For Pat Kuleto's Listing
Thursday, June 10th, 2010 at 11:11pm. 496 Views, 0 Comments.
When you are considering selling your home in today's market, having someone adept in handling current marketing technology is a must. Now that I have had Pat Kuleto's listing on the market for a couple of weeks, I wanted to share with you the incredible amount of exposure that has been generated for my client's property, as well as a glimpse of how I was able to do it.
The effort began before the property went onto the market. I was active on the social media front, letting folks know it was coming. I blogged about it, and I contacted my friends, family and clients to tell them about the property. As soon as the listing hit the market, my team got one of the online media sites to write a story on the listing. From there, it went "viral" as other outlets…
