Marin County Real Estate Market Report October 2021 | Latest News

In September we saw the median sold home price in Marin County increase by 11% vs the same month last year to $1,723,000. The number of homes for sale decreased by 26% vs. September of 2020. We continue to see a very active market in Marin, but there are great opportunities for those who are prepared for it. Smart buyers are pre-qualified, well-educated on the market and can move quickly. Pre-emptive offers have become more common as buyers try to “lock up” a house before it is fully exposed to the market. Smart sellers prepare their homes for sale with staging, painting and in some cases remodeling. Just because it is a sellers’ market doesn’t mean that a poorly-prepared or marketed home will command top dollar.

Marin County Real Estate Market Report April 2021 | Trends & Market News

This is the first Market report of 2021 with figures compared to the pandemic lockdown period of 2020. If you will recall, we went under lockdown during the “longest month” as many referred to it -- March 2020. The real estate market completely shut down that month, and as a result this is the first month in a long time where home inventories are up 11% vs. that time period but still at record lows. Pricing continued its upward march, with the median sold price up 17.3% and average active price up 18% vs. the same time last year.
