Big Home Prices Don't Deter

Home sellers have reason to smile as Marin County's luxury housing market is getting a lift in 2012, according to a new report by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.

The brokerage reports that both sales and the median sale price of million-dollar homes rose last month.

The report states:

A total of 48 properties sold for more than $1 million last month, up from 44 in February and 33 in January. The median sale price of a luxury home also soared 15.3 percent from the previous month to $1,525,000.

“Marin's luxury market continues to gain momentum in 2012," said Rick Turley, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. "The demand for high-end housing in the county – just like other parts of the Bay – continues to strengthen along with the economy and financial markets. Our only challenge is that we don't have enough homes to sell."
