This is proof you can sell your first home and buy your dream home at the same time, even in a tough market like Marin County in the Bay Area. Here's a 2024 case study: Family of 4 (two young children) Living in a 2100 sq ft townhome, hoping to sell for around $950,000 Desire a single family home in a kid-friendly neighborhood, max budget of $1,300,000 Using the proceeds from the sale for the down payment on their new home This is their story from their POV... Our First Home - Prepped and Staged! Our New Forever Home! Search  thornehometeam.com Last year, our family of four decided to take the leap and move from our first home to our forever home.

The unit itself was actually large with three bedrooms and two living rooms, but we have two young kids and we were feeling the need to enjoy some more yard space and...

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. Search thornehometeam.com 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...

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...
