San Rafael Homes for Sale
Your Local Real Estate Search Engine
As Marin’s largest and most diverse city, San Rafael offers a housing stock as varied as its landscape—from the historic Victorians of Gerstle Park and the mid-century icons of Lucas Valley to the hillside estates of Bret Harte to the energetic West End.
This page is your direct portal to the most current inventory in San Rafael, updated every 15 minutes from the MLS. Whether you are looking for a turnkey family home, a condo near the SMART train, or a luxury off-market opportunity, use the tools below to filter by neighborhood, price, and property type.
Beyond the MLS: The Insider’s Edge
While online listings are a great place to start, they only tell part of the story. In a market as competitive as San Rafael, some of the most desirable properties never hit the public portals.
If you want to hear about “coming soon” listings or off-market opportunities before they go live, feel free to call or text me at 415-847-5584.
