Mill Valley Real Estate Report (Pacific Union November 2010 Home Sales Update)

October 2010 home sales in Mill Valley totaled 20. These trades sold for an average price of $997, 159 (this figure is much lower than normal as last month’s sales were nearly all under $1.5 million, which is somewhat unusual — September sales averaged $1,307,026) and the homes averaged 2,065 sq. ft. (or about $501 per sq. ft.).  It seems September 2010′s sales reflected extreme buyer caution as 19 of the 20 sales were under $1.5 million — on any given month we would expect about 1/2 the sales to be over $1.5 million. Certainly the 13 sales under $1 million helped to clear out some lingering inventory in this entry level price band.  The number of listings actively market on the MLS is on the low side (103) as many sellers have decided to take their homes off the market as Winter sets in.

The percentage of homes in escrow:

• Under $800,ooo — 46%
• $800,000 to $1 million — 21%
• $1 million to $1.5 million — 33%
• $1.5 million to $2 million — 27%
• Above $2 million — 0%

Listings in Strawberry and Sycamore Park generated the most calls this month.
