Last week we asked you, our blog and Twitter folk, whether you thought your house value is going up or down. Below is a chart of your responses, along with your comments.
Your Comments:
| “It is holding its own, with perhaps a drop. Doesn’t matter to me, because I’m not moving any time soon. Kentfield will continue to be strong, due to location and schools. It’s part of the Gold Coast and will maintain its value over time.” | virtualtruth |
| “Live in Forest Knolls; I can recall only five houses sold in canyon area. I don’t believe many are putting their house on the market with an uncertain future looms.” | Anonymous |
| “Owned the house since 1989… in my opinion value peaked in 2006….” | cg |
| “AND I don’t want to know!” | pc |
| “Just guessing here…” | altjl |
| Thanks to all of you who took a few minutes to complete our POLL and leave your comments.
To some degree, we are all just guessing. This morning I was startled to learn that nearly 40% of the homes and condos on the Marin market today are in escrow, with accepted offers. Now that the holidays are over, maybe we will begin to see a bit more inventory – the buyers are certainly out there looking. If you are thinking of selling, call me now because this may be as good as it gets this year. Buyers? As we work out of the stormy season we will begin to see lots more homes to choose from. Now’s the time to start searching, so you can make an informed decision when the right place comes up. What are you thinking? |
