Roger's read on Sausalito

The market right now.

Boats, hills, restaurants, ferry to SF. Smaller market than Mill Valley but with personality, waterfront access, and views few Bay Area cities match.

Insider note: Hillside homes above downtown trade by view-grade. New Town (below) is the entry-price play. Houseboats are a separate market entirely with their own marina rules.

Who's buying here right now: Downsizers from larger Bay Area homes, Empty-nesters, SF refugees wanting waterfront.

What this market is NOT: A schools play. Sausalito proper has limited public-school options; many families opt private or commute to Mill Valley schools.
