Marin County Real Estate Market Report
April 2024

April 2024 Marin real estate market report

Marin Real Estate Market Report

April 2024

In March we saw the Marin real estate market awake from its slumber, with three of the four metrics I discuss in this monthly report in the green. The median sold price jumped 10% vs the same month last year to $1.95 million, while the number of homes for sale was up 15% to 301 on the market. There is now a healthy 2.1 months of supply on the market, up 24% since March 2023.

All the metrics are (finally) starting to move in the right direction for home buyers and sellers, with both pricing and inventory inching up. Whether this is a trend or a blip remains to be seen, but I think with the most recent inflation reports people are realizing that the days of 2% mortgage interest rates are not coming back anytime soon.

I find I am working with more buyers these days than last year at this time, including city dwellers looking to find a slice of paradise in wine country, and young couples moving to Marin to start families. We will live in the best place on earth, and I count myself lucky to live and work in the SF Bay Area.

Price Improvement in Country Club

I just announced a price improvement for 378 Margarita Drive in San Rafael’s Country Club neighborhood last week. It is a spectacular Country Club gated estate offering complete privacy and stunning panoramic views, situated on two acres of very private land. Offered exclusively for $2,750,000 – click here for more information.

I am also working on a great home in the Tam Valley area of Mill Valley which offers a great floor plan, a large back yard and views. This home will be coming on the market later this year.  

How Can I Help?

While the market is shifting, there are many opportunities out there for smart buyers and sellers. Let me help pave the road to success for you!

These market reports are a great place to start, but let’s continue the conversation. I am always happy to discuss the market and the best way to approach buying or selling a home in Marin County or the greater Bay Area. 

If you have any questions about the market or are considering your next real estate move, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, let’s make your real estate goals a reality. Call or text me anytime at 415-847-5584.

From the Golden Gate Sotheby’s Bay Area Market Report…

SF BAY AREA RESIDENTIAL MARKET SPRINGS FORWARD

The SF Bay Area housing market gained additional momentum heading into the spring buying season. More homes came onto the market, giving potential buyers additional options in prime neighborhoods. With mortgage rates coming down from the late 2023 high point, buyer activitystarted to accelerate. Home prices also increased during the first quarter in most areas. In addition to the strengthening housing market, the economy made moderate gains. Job growth was strongest in the educational and health services sector, which offset some losses in the technology industry.
Though overall the tech sector is not generating as many new jobs as in recent years, the scale and number of layoffs in the SF Bay Area continued to slow. The unemployment rate increased slightly to 4.3%, though a figure less than 5% indicates a tight labor market. Fewer tech layoffs and continued record-setting performance of stocks should bolster the housing market into the remainder of the spring and summer buying seasons.

FOR-SALE INVENTORY EXPANDS

Pricing trends as well as moderating mortgage rates helped convince a growing number of homeowners to list properties for sale. In the first quarter, the number of active listings increased by 15%. This was the largest number of homes for sale in a first quarter since 2019 and inventory increased across all SF Bay Area counties.

DEMAND BOOSTS MEDIAN PRICES

Strengthened buyer competition, as well as more home sales in higher-priced tiers, helped drive the median price higher during a period in which there is typically a seasonal lull. The SF Bay Area median sale price increased by 1.6% from the previous quarter. While the median sale price increased across most of the SF Bay Area, Alameda, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties outpaced much of the region. After building upon the pricing gains of the second half of 2023, the SF Bay Area median existing homeprice stood more than 15% higher than a year ago.

LOOKING AHEAD

Pent-up demand for housing and an increasing supply of homes for sale should continue to bolster SF Bay Area home sales. The relatively strong economy combined with a modest increase in households moving into the SF Bay Area will support the potential for a greater number of sales. Should mortgage rates decrease further, more buyers will come off of the sidelines.
