 WELCOME TO GREENBRAE
Population: 3500 (approx) Larkspur extends north to the unincorporated area of Greenbrae, home to the Bon Air Shopping Center, which offers boutiques, restaurants and gift shops. Greenbrae is well known for its tastefully designed custom homes, many of which have views of the bay, the valley and Mt. Tamalpais. A special effort was made during the development of this area to preserve the hundreds of majestic oak trees that grace the hillsides. A highly desirable commute for Greenbrae residents, they are only a couple minutes drive to the freeway and a few minutes to the Larkspur Landing Ferry Terminal. A suburban residential area, not far from the big city action, but also located near the more rural areas of West Marin County. Greenbrae is linked to San Francisco by the Golden Gate Bridge, making it a great place to live and commute. Industry in the area includes movie and video production, major computer software companies, communications equipment, printing and the manufacture of plastic products, ceramics, candles and cheese. Many of the communities have comparable prices tags with single family homes starting at approx. $ 700,000 to $850,000, where as larger custom remodeled homes selling upwards of $2 million dollars. With all this and so much more, Greenbrae has much to offer both new and existing residents!

Tax Considerations >Tax Breaks
Most homeowners are keenly aware of the interest tax deduction on their home loan, but there are many other tax breaks which are often overlooked at income tax time. Pro-rated property taxes and mortgage interest in the year of sale are deductible. You will find these amounts listed on your closing settlement statement. If you paid off your mortgage and had to pay a pre-payment penalty, it qualifies as tax deductible interest. If you paid an "acquisition mortgage loan fee" on a home loan, this fee can be deducted as itemized interest. Home improvement loan fees are also deductible. Any remaining loan fees from re-financed or paid-off mortgages are fully deductible at the time of the mortgage payoff.
Certain items don't qualify as deductions, but can be added to the cost basis of your home, such as transfer taxes, recording and title fees, and special local property tax assessments for new sidewalks, streets, or sewers.
Don't be intimidated by the tax code! A little research or consultation with an expert can help you maximize your real estate tax advantages.
