Marin Luxury Real Estate Is A Buyer's Market
Thursday, September 9th, 2010 at 1:55am. 1 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.

As reported in The San Francisco Chronicle, the state income tax credits estimated at around $200 million, will affect folks who purchase a home after May 1, 2010. Specifically, this credit will help anyone who is buying a newly built home, or first-time home buyers who buy an existing home or a newly built home. A first-time home buyer is defined as an individual or an individual's spouse, who has not owned a principle residence for three years prior to the date of this particular purchase. This new credit will be the equivalent of 5 percent of the purchase price or $10,000, whichever is less, spread over three years.
