Tiburon & Belvedere CA Real Estate Market Report (February 2010 Home Sales Update)
After a strong run of 6 months with $5 million and up sales, Tiburon and Belvedere had none in January 2010. There are currently 65 listings in the 94920 zip code, which covers Tiburon and Belvedere, CA. It was quite a slow month, with just 3 sales. While the sales totals remain similar to that of late 2007 (well before the financial crisis of September 2008), inventory is up 43%. The slow market reminds some of 2009’s beginning. While January tends to be slow, we will have to wait and see how the increased inventory and lack of "real buyers" (e.g., those who actually buy homes) impacts the market in coming months. My suspician is that this Spring will see a lot of good inventory hit the market as sellers who have held off trying to sell over the past 2 years will take thier shot this year. Now, more than ever, careful consideration must be given to pricing, staging, and marketing to maximize the likelihood of a positive result. Below is a graph comparing median prices over the past year.
