The Mill Valley market has continued to appreciate even though the media would have us all believe the market is crashing. The appreciation has not been exponential as it was in recent years past, but the location, amenities, schools, and commute all continue to make Mill Valley an area of high demand. The market times are longer than the previous couple of years, but overall it's still a very good investment. - Mon Apr 23 2007, 15:51
There is a financial premium paid to live in Mill Valley and the public schools, literally K-12, are excellent. There are still many parents who place their children in private schools, of which there are many options (and growing). The demand for private schools is increasing and therefore some kids are not making it to the schools of their choice - which is another reason why the excellent public schools are a great avenue in reserve. - Mon Apr 23 2007, 15:51
Although the market times have extended somewhat over the past year, the demand to be Kentfield continues to outweigh the supply. Appreciation has slowed in the last couple of years, but it is still strong and will continue to be so. This location is as good as it gets - with amenities such as parks and rec, great weather, proximity to SF, and a public school system that outscores most private schools. This is a high-end market and it's worth it. - Mon Apr 23 2007, 15:51
