There have been 50 Marin homes over three million dollars sold since January 1, 2010. In the same time frame last year, there were 37 homes over three million dollars sold in Marin. Yes, despite the mortgage mess the overall luxury home market has actually improved since 2009 in terms of number of sales.
As you can see in the chart above, the town of Tiburon tops the list of the most homes over three million dollars sold. The bulk of the luxury home sales are still under 3.5 million.
Top Ten Most Expensive Homes
The top ten most expensive homes sold year-to-date in Marin are as follows:
| Ross | 1 Upper Rd Ross, CA 94957 | 17,500,000 | 1/15/10 | 14,000,000 |
| Ross | 7 Laurel Grove Ave Ross, CA 94957 | 10,000,000 | 1/20/10 | 8,000,000 |

| Mill Valley | 401 Lovell Ave Mill Valley, CA 94941 | 5,695,000 | 9/26/10 | 5,500,000 |
Both the price per square foot and the list price to sales price ratios were almost identical in 2009 and 2010. What’s to come for the luxury market? It’s still unclear how the meltdown of the mortgage markets will impact the overall economy and confidence in the real estate market. We’ll be watching carefully to see what’s next.

Tiburon’s Del Mar neighborhood may no longer see utility lines. The neighborhood has been fighting a court battle for nearly seven years to get utility lines buried in the neighborhood. According to the Marin IJ, the project will impact 164 Tiburon homes.
Some homeowners in the neighborhood have been fighting the project because of issues with the homeowner assessment needed to fund the project.
This is positive news for homeowners with bay views that have been restricted by the power lines. I can’t tell you how many times I have shown property to home buyers who say “I love the house, I love the view, but the powerlines…”

Exploring by the Bay
Next stop: Sam’s Cafe!
With a gorgeous spring day and 80 degree weather, this weekend seems like a great one to spend outdoors. Looking to relax and enjoy the sunshine? You don’t have to go far! Visit downtown Tiburon and the landmark Sam’s Cafe along the Tiburon waterfront. This is one of my favorite spots to relax, sip a spicy bloody mary, and take in the sparkling waters of the San Francisco Bay and fantastic views of the San Francisco skyline and Angel Island. This place gets packed on a hot day with people coming over from San Francisco on the Tiburon ferry. Arrive early in the day if you don’t want to wait. The food isn’t Marin’s finest, but the awesome location and fantastic people watching make up for it. This is really the perfect place for a lazy Marin afternoon in the sunshine.
You can check out a live view from their sunny deck on Sam’s webcam.
Looking to get a sneak a peak at some of Belvedere and Tiburon’s finest kitchen? Don’t miss the annual Belvedere-Hawthorne Nursery Schools Kitchen Tour coming up next week. The tour generally features five to six kitchens, often with gourmet treat along the way. I am very sad that I will be flying on a plane to Wichita, Kansaas, so I will miss it for the first time in years. In addition to the tour, there is always a great boutique and a lunch option at the San Francisco Yacht Club. Transportation is provided between each of the homes.
- What: Belvedere-Hawthorne Nursery Schools Kitchen Tour
- When: Tuesday, February 9 , 9:30am – 2pm
- Tour Tickets: $40 in advance, $45 at the door.

What is happening in the Tiburon real estate market? The charts and stat table below reflect real estate activity for single family homes in Tiburon.
| TIBURON, CA 94920 Single Family 2011-10-07 | |
|---|---|
| Median List Price: | $2,375,000 |
| Total Inventory: | 79 |
| Homes Absorbed: | 5 |
| Days on Market: | 156 |
Despite the nice pretty chart showing median home list prices increasing, this does not reflect Tiburon closed home sale prices. At the end of December 2009, the average Tiburon sales price was $1,932,000 versus the average list price of $4,298,000. As much as I love stats, they are easily skewed with a small number of sales/listings.
There have been two single family home sales in Tiburon year to date. They are:
- 136 Geldert, Tiburon, CA for $1,810,000
- 208 Taylor, TIburon, CA $3,425,000
There was only one home sold in Tiburon in January 2009 and two in February 2009. Based on the number of homes under contract, the Tiburon market will look much better in February 2010 over last year for closed sales. The majority of activity continues to take place in the lower end of the market (under $1.3 million).
