Marin County Real Estate Market Report December 2025

Marin County ended the year with a more balanced market: the median sold price held essentially flat year-over-year, while inventory remained higher, giving buyers more choice heading into 2026. With the Fed cutting rates and AI-driven venture capital continuing to flow into the Bay Area, the next cycle may bring renewed demand as financing conditions improve. In my own business, I also brought an off-market Mill Valley home into escrow for a seller client—proof that the right strategy (including Top Agent Network exposure) can matter as much as timing.

Marin County Real Estate Market Report August 2025

Supply surged in July, with active listings up 33% year-over-year to 503 homes. At the same time, average days on market rose to 53 days — nearly 40% longer than last summer — signaling a slower sales pace. Pricing remains relatively stable, with the median sold price at $1.37M, just 1.8% below July 2024. Whether this stability continues will depend on how much of the increased inventory is absorbed during the “mini season” that begins just after Labor Day.

Architect Joseph Esherick: Mid-Century Master in Marin and Beyond

Joseph Esherick stands as one of the most influential and widely respected architects in California's history. Known for his masterful ability to merge form with function, landscape with lifestyle, and structure with soul, Esherick's work has helped define the architectural character of the San Francisco Bay Area for over half a century. From elegant hilltop residences to major civic and institutional landmarks, his designs exemplify clarity, warmth, and a deep respect for place. He designed one of my current listings, a gorgeous example of his work at 11 Crest Road in Belvedere.

Marin County Real Estate Market Report February 2025

Happy new year! Thank you all for your continued support of my business and I am so happy to have worked with so many of you in 2024.
