What a week this has been. The opportunities are everywhere … we just found THE home for a cute young couple and I am getting ready to bring a real special two bedroom, two bath charmer on the market in just a few weeks in San Anselmo’s Yolanda Park … agents everywhere have been showing property, pushing offers for clients and waiting with baited breath … a market replete with possibilities, bids, counter offers, activity and sales.

In the past week there were 69 new properties that came on the market in Marin … only two in Belvedere … there were six price increases, 100 reductions, 34 homes went into the ‘moving van coming’ status of pending and 45 closed escrow. The biggest sale was 133 Sugarloaf, Tiburon … $926 per square foot … this, as with 12 Canyon, Ross, is another home that did not sell last year (on the market for a year, pulled off the market in May) came back on with David Gilbert of Tiburon Land Company only to be sold by Kouros Tavakoli of Decker Bullock-Sothebys International (that’s a mouthful), in six days for $6.9M.

A few other interesting factoids … at Stinson Beach, where I reported Frank Howard Allen agent Sandra Parks’ great reduction on a three cottage, got to sell property … from $1,388,000 to $849,000, there are 30 properties on the market, two in escrow. Ah, Summer, second homes, etc. … and then along came 2 Calle Del Pradero, a cute cottage two homes from the surf, which now has at least ten offers rattling around on it … priced at $364,900!

… then there are four short sales that were mentioned here and are now in escrow … 551 Redwood, San Anselmo; 319 G Street, San Rafael; 37 Palm, San Rafael; and 5881 Lucas Valley Road, Nicasio…. when you’re hot, you’re hot, right?
