The Low Down on Jumbo Mortgages  One thing I look forward to every year are a few, select running races.  The Dipsea in June, an ultramarathon in the spring or fall, and the Tamalpa Runners TCRS series of club runs, where for $5 you can get your seat handed to you by some of the best runners, of all ages, in Marin County.  But 2020 has been different and so far, COVID-19 has pretty much Clorox-wiped the calendar clean of events.   The good news is that here in Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area, we are seeing the real estate market come back to life as shelters-in-place have eased.  And some buyers who were relegated to the sidelines are again intent on making the dream of home ownership a possibility this year.  But not all of them can come up with a 20% down payment, t... 06/16/2020

Lucas Valley, which is an upscale area of San Rafael (in Marin County, California) sits between Terra Linda and Marinwood.  It is also home to George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch.  Homes in the area over the past six months have generally sold in the $800,000 to $1,000,000 range and up.  Great schools, low crime, proximity to open space, and a good commute all provide a strong incentive for families and retirees alike.  The commute to San Francisco is good and will be improved once work on HWY 101 is completed in 2008 (widening the highway to allow for a commute lane to run through Marin County).  If you would like more information about Lucas Valley in San Rafael, Marin County, please call me (Kyle Frazier) at (415) 350-9440 or visit my website. 01/19/2007
