INSIDE THE ROPES

FAMOUS AUTHOR & ILLUSTATOR The sheer excitement shared by my youngest son when he met authors Mac Barnett and Sean Harris was quite special to experience. For a child that seems to have endless energy and hasn't expressed a lot of enthusiasm towards school, I was surprised to see how engaged he was to get their new book, and subsequently wait in a 45 minute lineup to get it signed. For me, this speaks to the power of a strong education system, which we have in Marin County. BIKETOBERFEST SHOUTOUT Thank you to all who came out to support Biketoberfest, including USA Cycling National Gravel Champion Brennan Wertz and friend/teammate Myke Nahorniak (pictured above). I shared a few thoughts on my Instagram reel here. The vibe was buzzing, the beer taps were flowing and seeing so many familiar faces was amazing! Downtown Fairfax was the venue of Sept. 12th Biketoberfest, a fundraising event for the Marin County Bicycle Coalition (MCBC). If you know me, you know that swinging my leg over a bicycle saddle happens quite often; it keeps me healthy on a physical, mental and social side. Consequently, it's an easy decision to continue sponsoring MCBC and this event. Plan to check it out in 2025. - Dana | 415-609-7972

Statistics are generalities, essentially summaries of widely disparate data generated by dozens, hundreds or thousands of unique, individual sales occurring within different time periods. They are best seen not as precise measurements, but as broad, comparative indicators, with reasonable margins of error. Anomalous fluctuations in statistics are not uncommon, especially in smaller, expensive market segments. Last period data should be considered estimates that may change with late-reported data. Different analytics programs sometimes define statistics - such as "active listings," "days on market," and "months supply of inventory" - differently: what is most meaningful are not specific calculations but the trends they illustrate. Most listing and sales data derives from the local or regional multi-listing service (MLS) of the area specified in the analysis, but not all listings or sales are reported to MLS and these won't be reflected in the data. "Homes" signifies real-property, single-household housing units: houses, condos, co-ops, townhouses, duets and TICs (but not mobile homes), as applicable to each market. City/town names refer specifically to the named cities and towns, or their MLS areas, unless otherwise delineated. Multi­county metro areas will be specified as such. Data from sources deemed reliable, but may contain errors and subject to revision. All numbers to be considered approximate. Many aspects of value cannot be adequately reflected in median and average statistics: curb appeal, age, condition, amenities, views, lot size, quality of outdoor space, "bonus" rooms, additional parking, quality of location within the neighborhood, and so on. How any of these statistics apply to any particular home is unknown without a specific comparative market analysis.
