Good News for Marin Homeowners

The Marin County housing market continues to favor sellers (see chart below).

• Inventory is down 30%, while single-family home sales have increased 16% and the average sales price has risen 11%.
• Southern Marin communities, especially Mill Valley and Corte Madera, are seeing homes sell in an average of just 12–14 days, reflecting strong buyer demand, competitive bidding, and a significant number of cash purchases.
• Many well-qualified San Francisco buyers, including those benefiting from the growth of the AI industry, are choosing Marin for its exceptional lifestyle, larger homes, outstanding schools, and easy access to nature.

With housing inventory at historic lows and motivated buyers actively competing for available homes, conditions remain highly favorable for Marin homeowners considering a sale.

If you're thinking about selling—or simply want to understand your home's current market value—I would be happy to share my local market insights, develop a personalized selling strategy, recommend cost-effective improvements, and connect you with trusted local tradespeople to help you maximize your home's value.
