The Marin market continues to pick up speed with new listings hitting the market and many receiving multiple offers or strong preemptive offers within a week of exposure. We just learned that a hot new listing in Mill Valley listed at $1.7M received 13 offers this week after only 6 days on the market and is selling for more than $250k over asking with 60% of the buyer pool coming from San Francisco. So, what does this mean for home buyers and sellers?

That’s one key takeaway from Houzz’s 2017 Kitchen Trends Study, which surveyed homeowners who were in some stage of renovating their kitchens last year or this year. One-third of respondents reported that they were leading healthier lifestyles after remodeling their kitchens, while the other 67 percent said they were equally as healthy as before.
