Thorne Home Team - 2022 Sales!

Image
2022 was a dramatic year in real estate. The market yielded all time highs and multiple-offer chaos in the Summer sending some sales soaring up to $1mil over the asking price. This was followed by rising mortgage interest rates, which quickly slowed the market and gave way to a calm Winter break.  Through it all, we guided our buyers on how to navigate multiple offer situations with dozens of offers, and how to purchase with decreased buying power due to higher rates. On one San Anselmo sale, our buyers prevailed with 11 offers. And for our sellers, we tailored our project management style to each seller's needs, from off-market sales for minimal seller stress to full market-prep with home renovation, landscaping, and staging. We are so thankful to everyone we worked with this past year, clients and amazing service professionals!  If you're in the market or if you're just interested in checking out our 2022 sales, scroll through the below. We sell a wide range of homes in a...

When do Homes Come on the Market??

Image
When do new homes hit the market? This is a question we get all the time. We also get a whole lot of speculation about holidays and special events and their relationship to people's readiness to list their homes for sale. So we wanted to share some stats to really get to the bottom of this equation. In Marin County, the general rule of thumb is that the most new homes are listed for sale during the Spring and Summer months and this is because of weather patterns and  kids being out of school, making it easier to make family moving transitions during this time. So let's take a look at the numbers. The graph below shows the number of homes for sale and new listings per month from the past 5 years in Marin County. Pay particular attention to the blue line for number of new listings. You'll notice since 2015 the new listings hit a low each December, hovering a bit below the 100 mark. Then they ramp up around March and April, with a peak above 350, then dip down in mid-Summer li...

Thorne Home Team - 2020 Sales!

Image
2020 ... So much to say about this past year. But with regard to real estate, it was busy! We are so proud and thankful to have been a part of 21 sales, and nearly $27 million in sales volume. We are living through a time when everything "home" is vitally important and we take that responsibility to heart.  We feel for every person who has been affected by COVID-19, whether it's physical health, mental health, work, financial, relationships, or otherwise. We have had clients grappling with many aspects of this pandemic, and we hope to have provided a little light, warmth, and comfort during these trying times.  Thankfully, we have also seen many positive shifts over the past year. Many of our clients were able to move as a result of being less tethered to a desk chair. Less traffic, fewer commute hours, cleaner hands, more time with family, decluttered homes, more thoughtful live/work spaces, and a chance to slow down for a bit to really consider the important things in l...
