Marin Independent Journal – Economist sees Marin holding its own in housing slump
A prominent real-estate economist predicts that troubles will persist in the California housing sector throughout the year, but she said Marin’s unique market is weathering the downturn better than other areas.“It’s God’s country, what can I say,” Leslie Appleton-Young, chief economist for the California Association of Realtors, told an audience of agents Tuesday in Terra Linda. “When is the 30 percent decline in Marin County’s market going to happen? Not in my lifetime.”
Yep, this is going in the quotes bucket.

“If you can help those folks sell their property before it goes into default, it will actually help their credit,” de Vries said. “They will not have a default or foreclosure on their credit.”
De Vries advises buyers to be sympathetic, because sellers don’t need to be kicked while they’re down with obscenely low offers.”
So get out there, be sympathetic and offer $100,000 over asking. Don’t kick ‘em when they’re down, do the right thing, be a good neighbor….
