Larkspur Home Sells for $1M Over Asking in Just 7 Days

In one of Larkspur’s most desirable neighborhoods, a 2019-built home sold for $5.3 million—coming in $1 million over asking—after generating nine offers and closing all-cash in just seven days. The sale, represented by Holly Welch of Corcoran Icon Properties’ Greenbrae office, achieved over $2,000 per square foot, a remarkable price point for the area.

The sellers, recent empty nesters ready to begin their next chapter, turned to Welch for her market expertise, strategic insight, and hands-on approach. Together, they brought the property to market with thoughtful preparation and a few creative touches that helped it stand out.

“We knew the garden was a showstopper, but it hadn’t fully bloomed when we listed,” said Welch. “So we enlarged past-season photos of the garden and placed them on easels throughout the home. It allowed buyers to envision the space in full bloom—and that personal detail made an impression.”

With a smart pricing strategy, premium marketing, and carefully managed private showings, the home attracted strong interest right out of the gate. Within days, nine serious buyers emerged, leading to an all-cash offer and a seamless one-week close.

Highlights of the Sale:

• 9 competitive offers
• $5.3M final sale price (listed at $4.25M)
• Over $2,000 per square foot
• All-cash, 7-day close

“This was a win-win for everyone involved,” added Welch. “It’s a great example of what’s possible with the right timing, preparation, and a customized strategy.”
