Marin Real Estate Market Update:

How much have home values increased?

What is the forecast for the future?

Should I buy or sell this Fall?

Answers to these questions and a Marin Real Estate Market update are in this video.

Earlier this year, I sold this client a house in Larkspur and now it was time to sell his end unit townhome.  We received 3 offers and went over asking in about a week! 

The sold price set a record for this group of townhomes.  Happy Seller!

My clients are a wonderful family that wanted to own a home they could fix up with their personal touches.  This amazing backyard with a creek in the back was the perfect fit and they won in multiple offers!

Marin Real Estate Market Update

The Marin real estate market was on fire in 2020 with record-setting sales volume and an increase in median home price.  We saw an overall large 12% increase in prices in 2020 in Marin home sales.  So what is happening now in the Marin Real Estate Market?

January is typically a slow month in Marin activity and many Realtors were able to take a deep breath in this January (at least the first half).  We have seen the home sales market slow down, still busier than a normal January, but less activity than Q4 2020.  Why? Lack of inventory!  A small number of new listings are trickling into the Marin real estate market and buyers are waiting to gobble it up quickly, oftentimes with multiple offers.  A simple supply and demand situation.

So what will spring give us in the Marin real estate market?

As we progress through Q1 of 2021 we expect to see more listings hit the market.  As I am writing this blog, the MLS had the highest number of new listings we have seen so far in 2021 so things are heating up.  April and May are typically the most active and we usually see the most listings come to the market around this time.  Now with the COVID restrictions still in place for our county, the future is always unclear and historical data may not apply.  Only time will tell but the migration pattern of San Franciscans to Marin may still occur through Spring, perhaps all of 2021.

If you are a seller, it is a great time to sell with a pent up buyer demand you are likely to have multiple buyers wanting to buy your home, and buying is still a good idea with more purchasing power with interest rates staying low.

Here is a quick fact about home sales in Marin…………

As a Marin County Realtor, I thought it would be fun to share with you the least and most expensive home that sold in Marin County.  With a record-breaking year in home sales in Marin in regard to median home price and volume of home sales, we saw strong activity at ALL price points.  The least expensive home sale was a cute bungalow not far from the ocean in Bolinas for $780,000 2bedroom/1 bath and 898 sq ft.  The most expensive home sold in 2020 in Marin was in Tiburon with spectacular city and water views and a pool on 2.2 acres.  The buyer paid $15,043,000 for 6 bedrooms/7 bathrooms and over 10,000 sq ft and sold in just 14 days (all cash!!)

There were close to 3000 homes that sold, besides these 2 in 2020, so the migration pattern from the city was real.  As the COVID restrictions continue to loom, many buyers may still be looking to seek Marin to gain more space, more sunshine, easier access to outdoor space,  and zoom rooms.  We saw a huge uptick in demand for POOLS in Marin home sales!  With everyone being homebound, many wanted to create a summer resort in the own backyard.  Here is a link to some of the best home pools in the world https://www.urbandaddy.com/articles/43067/the-finest-swimming-pools-in-america

If you are a seller, it is a great time to sell because with pent-up buyer demand you are likely to have multiple buyers wanting to buy your home (of course you need to properly prep and price your home).   And buying is still a good idea with more purchasing power with interest rates staying low.

Realtor referrals anywhere in California

Back in January 2020, which seems like a lifetime ago during COVID, the brokerage I worked for, Zephyr, became the first franchisee of the new Corcoran Global Living (CGL).  Now, what does that mean? Zephyr had been a strong independent brokerage in the Bay Area since the 1970s and when Michael Mahon, the CEO of Corcoran Global Living, approached Zephyr to become a franchisee of the brand the offer was too good to pass up.  Corcoran Global Living’s mission is to find successful strong independent brokerages in California and Nevada (and soon to expand further) and collect them under one umbrella so they can have brand recognition, premium marketing materials, respected and connected Realtor referrals, and most importantly, each franchisee could maintain their local management and culture so their independence could continue.   Why is this important?  Because each local market is different than the next and to best accommodate those agents and clients you need to be able to do what is best on a local level!  This is the best of both worlds (the fiercely independent brokerage and the national brand brokerage).  Corcoran Global Living draws on the larger mothership, Corcoran Group, which is a high-end luxury brand in NYC, Hamptons, Chicago, Denver, Hawaii, and many other cities for name recognition, agent training, branding, Realtor referrals, and so much more.

So if you are thinking of moving or know someone moving out of Marin – I can help find trusted Realtor referrals with strong local knowledge of their real estate market.  I have already referred a client to a CGL agent in Tahoe to purchase a second home and they had a 5 -star level of service.  That is what you will get with all CGL agents!  So hit me up with a Realtor referral!
