So, what do you think of this?  Kaiser Permanente seized, then auctioned off, the home of a Marin County woman to pay her hospital bills after she left the hospital and was placed under the guardianship of Marin County.  Now for some background.  The 85-year-old homeowner had refused to leave the hospital and, after 14 months, was finally evicted.  She is now living in a nursing home at state expense.  Her extended stay in Kaiser cost $1.4 million, and the sale of the home is intended to partially reimburse Kaiser for the expense of her stay, with 10 percent of the proceedings being placed in a trust for the patient’s care in the nursing home.The somewhat ramshackle home had been in the patient’s family since 1910 and was given to the patient’s daughter 2 years ago.

San Anselmo (like many parts of Marin County) is HOT!  Homes priced under $800K are selling extremely well right now (six sold in the past 30 days, with several new listings just hitting the market).  Homes in San Anselmo priced between $800K and $1 million are in short supply (only 3 active listings on the market) and sell fast so long as they are nicely maintained, updated, and/or located in desirable neighborhoods.  In fact, the current absorption rate for homes under $1 million in San Anselmo is under one month-underscoring the extremely low inventory (if you are thinking of selling and your home is in this price range, you are in the driver's seat).  That is the definition of HOT!The low inventory phenomenon extends into the higher price points as well-incredibly, homes priced betw... 03/17/2007

San Anselmo, once the county's railroad hub, is larger than many of its neighbors, but retains a small-town charm. The self-proclaimed "Antiques Capital of Northern California,'' San Anselmo has about 130 antique dealers, as well as bookstores, coffee shops, boutiques, and restaurants along San Anselmo Avenue next to Creek Park. The downtown area is a delightful place to eat, visit, and spend an afternoon.Homes are older and smaller than those in nearby Ross. Larger lots grace some hill areas. Five roads converge through The Hub, with Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and The Miracle Mile jamming from traffic during the rush hours.
