Corte Madera
Investing in Corte Madera Real Estate, like most Marin towns, has been a rewarding experience-not only did you live in one of the greatest suburbs in the world, but you also made a small fortune doing so. In 1970 the average house in Corte Madera sold for $36,635-identical to Mill Valley's average price in the same year. By 2006 that number had risen to almost $1,80,700 for a 36 year compounded rate of return of 9.9%. If you had 50% mortgage on the purchase price of the house the rate of return rises to 11.6% and an 80% mortgage rate of return is 14.8% (not considering mortgage payments, property taxes or anything else). The dollar rate of return interestingly tells more: the total dollar rate of return since 1970 is about $1,044,056 but almost half of that come since 1999.
