Eichler Homes Blog

Fall 2009 has brought good things to the San Rafael area. The lack of inventory and high demand from buyers has driven prices up 18% from October 2008 to October 2009.

There are currently only 9 Eichlers on the market in San Rafael and several are not selling due to poor pricing. Homes that are priced appropriately are flying off of the market. I have a new listing at 12 Del Haro Way in the Terra Linda South neighborhood that is beautiful, bright, and private. I am hopeful it will sell as fast as the rest of my Eichler listings this year.  Another great buy is an atrium model home at 141 Golden Hinde Blvd. which is listed at $675,000. Both will be open 1-4 today.

There is a bank owned Eichler listing right now that any buyer should run away from as fast as they can (at least based on my experience and the experience of my wonderful buyer clients who were in contract on the home). If you'd like more details about my experience, drop me a line.  

I should also mention that anyone interested in a bank owned home in the North Bay can utilize our Marin Modern website to explore a list of bank owned homes in Marin as well as short sales in Marin County.

Looking forward to the holidays!

The year is winding to a close however the Eichler market is definitely heating up!   All 10 of my Eichler listings that have sold this year were in contract within the first 2 weeks on the market and I've also represented a number of buyers for both Eichler & non-Eichler homes in 2009.  

I JUST listed two additional Eichler homes which just hit the market (one of which is already in contract):

12 Del Haro Way, San Rafael - $740,000   **OPEN SUNDAY!**
Desirable 4 bedroom / 2 bathroom, atrium model Eichler home on a quiet street just steps away from open space.  This home is wonderfully landscaped and has a number of updates including a foam roof, tankless hot water heater, new radiant boiler for workin g radiant heat, updated bathroom with jetted tub, updated flooring & lighting, and more.    

72 Golden Hinde Blvd, San Rafael - $799,000 (In Contract 1st Day on Market!)
Updated 4 bedroom / 2 bathroom Eichler home with many coveted original features.    Updates include solar electric, new foam roof, a UNICO heating & air conditioning system, new hot water heater, new radiant boiler, working radiant heat, dual pane windows, and a heated swimming pool.  

As mentioned, both of these homes are brand new Eichler listings and the first public open house for my listing at 12 Del Haro Way will be held this Sunday (November 22nd from 1-4pm).      I will personally be hosting the open house so I would encourage you to stop by if you, or someone you know, might be interested in this home OR if you'd simply like to discuss your house-hunting plans for the upcoming year and how I might be able to assist!
