The first two weeks of January we are noticing unprecedented enthusiasm in the market as buyers are sensing that we are at the bottom.  There is a notable lack of  seller inventory and a  pent up demand for buyers  who have watched  interest rates begin to rise.  Recently a home that had been on the market in Kentfield for over $2M for over 200 days received two offers and sold at 95% of list.  A house listed in Greenbrae at $1.3 is receiving at least 8 offers today.
