Investing in Kentfield Real Estate, like most Marin towns, has been a rewarding experience-not only did you live in one of the greatest Towns in the world, but you also made a fortune doing so. In 1970 the average house in Kentfield sold for $56,280; by 2006 that number had risen to over $1,616,245, for a 36 year compounded rate of return of 9.8%. The dollar rate of return, interestingly, tells more: the total dollar rate of return since 1970 is about $1,560,000 but more than half of has come since 1996.
Kentfield's rate of return is about 9.8% through 2006, but through June 2007 the compounded 37 year return is well over 11% due to several very large transactions in the current 2007 real estate market that have skewed the Kentfield average sale price well over $3,000,000 (see below). The State of California average real estate rate of return for the same period was 9.0% and the national average rate of return, no mortgage, was only 6.5%.
