Mill Valley Real Estate Report (December 2013 Home Sales Update) | Pacific Union | Christies
Mill Valley Real Estate Report (December 2013 Home Sales Update) | Pacific Union. Despite incredibly low inventory, the Mill Valley, CA real estate market continues to astound as the number of sold homes remains high for the season. In November 2013, 28 single family properties sold. These homes traded on average for $1.364 million and averaged 2,165 sq. ft. (or about $643 per sq. ft.). Comparing these numbers to past market updates, one can see a dramatic rise in both sale prices and price per foot over the past year with much of the increase taking place early in 2013 and leveling out beginning in June. Like all towns in Marin County, California (San Francisco’s “North Bay” region), the number of Mill Valley home sales (although still strong) is constricted due to low inventory. Indeed, there are many potential buyers are out there, but they lack homes to buy. Multiple offer situations are common when it comes to fairly priced homes under $2 million. This momentum extends from the entry level (where investors are very actively pursuing a purchase and rent strategy) to the luxury segment over $2 million as there were 5 homes sold in November 2013 over $2 million.
As noted in virtually all of my market reports thus far in 2013, the number of listings actively on the market in Mill Valley is best characterized as “extreme scarcity.” Although we are in the heart of the slow season now, there are a mere 15 single family homes currently active on the market in all of Mill Valley. The current absorption rate in Mill Valley is the lowest I have ever seen for any city or town in Marin — it stands at about 15 days (6 months is considered “balanced”).
