Investing in Larkspur 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 Larkspur sold for $37,000-identical to Mill Valley's average price in the same year. By 2006 that number had risen to almost $1,289,408 for a 36 year compounded rate of return of 10.4%. The dollar rate of return interestingly tells more: the total dollar rate of return since 1970 is about $1,252,400 but more than half of that has come since 1999.
Larkspur's rate of return is about 10.4% and is significantly ahead the Marin County average of 9.8%. The California State 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%.
