Quarterly Newsletter: Q2 2023

I am really enjoying all the press I am doing right now on “Real Estate Rescue, How America Leaves Billions Behind in Residential Real Estate and How to Maximize Your Home's Value,” sharing my 26 years of knowledge in how to prep homes for the market so that sellers fully monetize their most important investment. I have recently been interviewed by The Wall Street Journal’s Your Money Briefing, Great Day Colorado in Denver, Bloomberg, and a myriad of others on this most important subject. So many sellers inadvertently leave money on the table in the decisions made when they go to sell. Buyers can also make a myriad of mistakes that result in a less than optimal investment. Check out this quick 90-second sizzle reel! Sharing my ideas with others is incredibly satisfying to me.

We are beyond proud to announce the opening of our second office, serving Aspen, Colorado and the entire Roaring Fork Valley. Tracy, together with daughters Whitney and Grace McLaughlin, have formed the Tracy McLaughlin Team, working with buyers and sellers in all price ranges in all communities including Aspen, Snowmass, Old Snowmass, Basalt, & Carbondale. The McLaughlin’s longstanding history of development & flipping in the Aspen market make Aspen a logical choice for a second office. The average price of a single family dwelling in Aspen is now $9.5m, with extraordinary year over year appreciation in all Roaring Fork Valley communities. So, if you are an investor, buyer or seller, we are now available to help you in Aspen. Tracy’s Aspen based design and renovation team is also immediately available to assist you with capital improvements that will fully monetize your home’s value. Our Marin County office is busier than ever with two recent record breaking sales in Belvedere and Kentfield, and 9 upcoming listings in Marin County! Feel free to call us about our upcoming listings in both Aspen and Marin!

Please scroll down for market data in Marin County to date year over year 2022-2023. While our volume of sales in all communities is substantially reduced due to 9 successive interest rate hike since Spring 2022, the great news is that due to Marin’s very limited space for development and low inventory loads continues to put pressure on pricing which is why we are seeing pockets of continued record breaking sales like the home I just sold on West Shore in Belvedere!

Her book provides homeowners a clear roadmap to fully monetize the sale or purchase of their home.
