The Frank Howard Allen banner is ‘Love Where You Live’… and since I live in Ross, I track the market as I walk to Pheonix Lake, to visit friends or stroll into San Anselmo or Kentfield. Some amazingly beautiful homes, a great high school (Branson) and highly rated elementary school (Ross School) are features of this sleepy, pristine town.

The only other Frank Howard Allen agent who lives in Ross is Patti Cohn. Congrats to Patti on her third Ross sale this year … a real beauty at 98 Laurel Grove listed by Susan Bowman for $4.25M. Dang, I wish they’d picked me… three weeks, full price, all cash. Oh well, share and share alike (ha!).

Real Estate Update:
In Ross there is currently a six month supply of homes available (19) and the average days on the market for those that have sold in the last six months (16) is 92 days, a rather balanced market.

On the average sellers have been getting 87% of their asking price… an average greatly influenced by the two large sales (The Gray’s home at 1 Upper Road that initially listed for $22M and sold for $14M and the Penn home on Laurel Grove with a price that came down millions and sold for $8M). The price per square foot on active listings in Ross is $807 while the sales have averaged $714 per square foot.

My favorite Shire of Ross home currently on the market is 3 Hill, off of Lagunitas Road. I find tranquility in this home with the quality of the finishes and the light. It is listed for $1,649,000 and has four bedrooms and three baths. If this sounds good, email me and let’s go see if this home is the one for you!
