The number of homes sold in the Mill Valley, California real estate market rose again in April 2010 and Mill Valley's touchstone price band ($1 million to $2 million) has posted another great month. As stated last month, it has been more than three years since buyers have spoken confidently about the market, but they are now. Low interest rates, improved jobs numbers, a string of positive local and regional real estate news stories, and a stronger stock market environment has buyers again feeling secure in the fact that they are buying with a tailwind. The number of homes for sale in Mill Valley is tapering as we move through the Spring selling season  - we now have 135 homes on the market. Mill Valley's entry level price bands (under $1,000,000) are as strong as we have seen them over ... 05/17/2010

May 2010 -- Mill Valley public schools chalked up another year of high marks on the state's Academic Performance Index, or API. All five elementary schools and one middle school ranked among the top 10 percent statewide this year, the same number as last year. All of these schools belong to the Mill Valley School District, which has approximately 2,400 students in all. The state releases two API reports each year, in the spring and fall. Each school receives an API number based on students' test scores. The report released last week is based on students' 2009 test scores and is meant to be used as a baseline for comparison with the "Growth API" report to be released in the fall, which will examine test scores from this spring.

I have been chomping at the bit to write this monthly report as the market in Mill Valley is bursting with positive indicators. The number of homes sold in the Mill Valley, California real estate market rose nearly 50% over the prior month. Mill Valley's touchstone price band ($1 million to $2 million) appears to be striding towards normalcy. Not only is seasonal inventory healthy (with more homes for sale than last year), but so too is the percentage of homes in escrow (see below - it is hard to believe!). With most economic indicators pointing towards recovery, the collective thinking among buyers is that now is as good a time as any to buy a home - whether it is a first home or a move-up home. Keep in mind that buyers in Mill Valley are not buying because of government tax credits (a... 04/24/2010

If you're in Marin County stop by Horse Hill in the Altos section of Mill Valley I love cruising the back roads of Mill Valley to find the little gems that make up such a marvelous place. Today I cruised up to Horse Hill in the Altos section of Mill Valley. Altos is small neighborhood to the East of E. Blythedale. Its in the flat lands of Mill Valley and it seems that its much warmer in this neighborhood than a lot of other neighborhoods. Homes vary in price from the upper $500s to $1.895M. You find everything from small ranchers to enormous homes with large wrap around porches. Most homes sit on really big lots and the culture of the neighborhood is very unpretentious and more down to earth.

I absolutely LOVE Mill Valley, CA and the quality of life this small community gives you! Mill Valley is like one of those small towns that are reminiscent of my youth when I grew up in the late 60's early 70's, barefoot and running free, riding my bike from one neighborhood to another.  Mill Valley is surrounded by redwood trees, hills, mountains, the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.  It's a town where you can send your kids off to play in the many surrounding parks bike paths and trails while feeling completely safe about where they are.  Seems like the word "safe" would be a misnomer especially when you are talking about kids growing up in the Bay Area but really Mill Valley in Marin County, CA is an incredibly safe and wonderful place to raise your children.

What the real estate market looks like in Mill Valley, CA and why you'd want to live there! I love Mill Valley, California!  It's located just 7.3 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. It's close to everything yet seems so removed from the rest of the Bay Area. Every time I walk the trails of Mt. Tam, ride my bike out to Belvedere Island or walk the steep incline of Horse Hill I thank my lucky stars that I live in such a wonderful place.  Mill Valley neighborhoods are very distinct neighborhoods and depending on what you like (close to downtown, near the middle school, in a more heavily wooded area, in the hills or along the flat lands) you will appreciate the quality of life that this little tucked away town has to offer. There are 27 different neighborhoods in Mill Valley: Alto Sutto... 04/05/2010

The number of home sales in the Mill Valley, California real estate market held exactly even in February – 16 trades (February usually has lower sales totals because it is a short month with two legal holidays and bcause January tends to have weather which limits buyer activity). Based on last month’s total sales, we currently have an overall inventory of homes sufficient to last 5.1 months (absorption rate).
