Happy Springtime to All!
A common subject that I've been asked about lately is the effects of rising interest rates relating to the real estate market. So far, we've seen an almost 50%+ spike in mortgage interest rates since 2022 began.
Compass' Chief Market Analyst, Patrick Carlisle, shared this thought; m
ost analysts believe that if rates remain this high (much less continue to tick up), the enormous jump in housing costs (home price appreciation + interest rate increases) will significantly affect the market. I would tend to agree with this, especially if rates continue to rise. Time will tell.

I would like to congratulate my clients on the sale of their delightful property. Their pride of ownership really showed and helped showcase their 2bd/1ba home with a detached 1bd/1ba studio cottage.

The features that many visitors liked were similar; the main living space’s open flow and contemporary kitchen design, the outdoor living space of the large deck and greenery, and the cozy and convenient detached studio cottage.

If you know me, you know I like to spend a little time in the kitchen. When my good friend, chef Matthew Accarrino (Executive Chef
- SPQR San Francisco), dangled his fresh baked scone in front of me, I couldn't say no. In my mouth it went, then out came "I need the recipe!" Now you can try to replicate the delicious treat he has me hooked on. Enjoy!

I created this series to showcase the many aspects of Mill Valley that I (and many others) have become fond of while living, working and raising a family here.
|
From trains, to buses and eventually bricks & benches. The beloved Mill Valley Depot Plaza has had an interesting mix of uses so far. I have to say though, the current configuration is possibly my favorite.
|
Back in the 1880’s it was known as the Eastland Mill Valley Train Station which served the North Pacific Coast Railroad. Some years later, the “Eastland” identity was changed to Mill Valley Depot. Over the next few decades the original structures were moved and renovated along with the iconic trains giving way to Greyhound buses. By the 1970’s Ganey’s Bookstore & Cafe occupied the main building in the plaza and remained there until the late 1980’s.

Around approximately 1987 the familiar identity of “The Depot Bookstore and Cafe” was adopted. A restored gravity car, renowned in its day, takes first position of this post. Starting in 1896, thirty of these were joined together to take thousands of adventurous visitors from the town center all the way to Mount Tam’s summit; this was known as The Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railway or “The Crookedest Railroad in the World," Reaching the summit was exhilarating, but the return back down to Mill Valley was arguably more thrilling, with only a brakeman to control the roller-coaster descent.
