With 95 homes on the market, the best of all San Anselmo homes – location, location, location – is this freshly on the market Yolanda Park home …

As I popped this beauty on the market … most local agents knew it was coming two months ago when I did a PowerPoint presentation at Bill McKeon’s buy/sell meeting (we got delayed with a tenant moving, taking time for the market to spruce up) … within 24 hours we had had just short of 200 hits, any number of email and phone queries.

First the phone rang with …

Mary Edwards of the San Anselmo Frank Howard Allen office wanting pricing help as she’s getting ready to list a wonderful three bedroom contemporary home in the Barber Trac of San Anselmo …. which I’ll go see today … then…

Sue Ecke, in my Frank Howard Allen office, who has been telling us for some time that she’s listing a wonderful three bedroom home with style AND an income unit, Well, called to say that she just brought it on, not San Anselmo, but nearly … 70 Manor, Fairfax slightly over 1500 square feet at $509 per square foot, listed at $769,000 … great style, income, solid location.

And Abby Tanem has a home coming as well. Oh well … mirror mirror on the wall, this is the fairest of them all …. 122 Alder … location, charm, style, location, quality, location … over 1400 square feet on a 5500 square foot lot on a street not lined with telephone lines … it’ll go quickly (which is what all agents always think, right?) … in the first 12 hours, there were 128 hits on the website. Go, Alder, Go.

About the San Anselmo real estate market … of the 95 homes, 22 are in escrow, seven of those simply awaiting a moving van … and of those seven, four are between $1M and $1.5M. With that thinking I looked at sold homes close to the property at 122 Alder … in the last six months four had sold on Nokomis, Austin and Agatha … average market time, 19 days! (This as compared to the average marketing time of 99 days on homes sold in the last six months). Average price per square foot, $623 (Alder is listed at $515 per square foot, thank you!).

The ‘why hasn’t someone snapped up this home?’ question goes to Greg Browman of Marchant Chapman Realtors with his 1906 (modernized) three-bedroom listing at 77 Melville … two months and this marvelous, well located home has been reduced from $1,599,000 to a stunning $1,250,000 ($701 per square foot).
