Tiburon and Belvedere, California real estate is some of the most valuable in the Bay Area — Belvedere had a closing at $5.1 million in August 2009. Perhaps because of this, sales and activity remain choppy, despite the favorable market environment for buyers.

There are currently 113 active listings in the 94920 zip code, which covers Tiburon and Belvedere (up by about 10 properties from last month). Twenty of these properties are priced over $5 million.

As inventory collects in Southern Marin's toniest locales (Belvedere and Tiburon), we are starting to see and hear about more offers being submitted. Certainly, sellers frustrated by the lack of activity have in some cases taken what they could get. Most recognize that our new economy, post-Equity Market Meltdown, has shifted the pricing and value expectations of buyers. While I perceive a high level of pent up buyer demand, buyers seem to be willing to wait things out. Much of this behavior is based on expectations of further price declines weighed against likely increased interest rates in the near to mid-term future. Most buyers I talk to recognize that the time to act, if not here yet, is close. Indeed, when buyers see value, they act. In fact, Morgan Lane Marin has 16 closings comi... 07/01/2009

There is nothing like Springtime on the Tiburon Peninsula, Corinthian Island, and Belvedere Island. Not only is the setting the most stunning in the World, but the wave of homes that hit the market this time of year is always awesome in its suddenness and impressiveness.

The past few weeks have been glorious on the Tiburon Peninsula and Marin County. My 4 year old daughter Scarlett and I went for a walk with our dog along the rail trail (a former railroad line that is now a bike path skirting the bay) from Blackie’s Pasture last Wednesday and it must have been 75 degrees. The sun was warm and the water azure. Even Carmen (our black lab, if you are curious) seemed content to stroll in a leisurely fashion, enjoying the afternoon. Afterwards we went over to the ice cream shop downtown, took our cones to the grassy area by the ferry terminal and ate. Actually, I tripped, dropped my ice cream, and Carmen eagerly cleaned up the mess. Nevermind that just 2 homes sold in January 2009, this was a perfect day.    Indeed, while this time of year is generally slow... 02/14/2009

I have a buddy that is looking to move to Tiburon in the next few months, now I am able to kill two birds with one stone, I can shop for him, and see how much nicer a place would actually need to be if I were to sell my house and move there instead. Not much up to my liking, but I have found the sweet spot for me is about 3 to 4m. My daughter morgan and I saw a few houses after church on sunday 12/21/08, I did like 7 Hillcrest Road,  its a 5 bedroom, 5 bath for 3.75m. I liked the solid doors and walls, the floorplan had a nice flow. I am not a fan of paradise drive, but this was not too far from Blackies Pasture and Tiburon Blvd. The listing agent Britt Engel of first marin realty was nice, knew construction inside and out, as well as the luxury home market in Tiburon. This is one of th... 12/23/2008
