August 2025 Marin County Real Estate Market Update

As the summer winds down, Marin County’s housing market is showing signs of renewed energy. July was quieter—as it usually is with vacations and summer downtime—but as families prepare for the new school year, activity is already picking back up.

Marin County Market Highlights

• Inventory: Up 33% year-over-year, with 503 active listings. Buyers now have more options to explore.

• Days on Market: The median time to sell has stretched to 53 days. While homes are taking longer overall, certain price points and neighborhoods are still very competitive. Well-prepared, well-priced homes continue to attract multiple offers and move quickly.

• Median Sold Price: Holding steady at $1.37 million, just 1.8% lower than last summer. Median numbers don’t always tell the full story—standout homes are still commanding strong interest.

👉 Takeaway for Buyers: More inventory means better opportunities, especially if you’re open to properties that need a little TLC.
👉 Takeaway for Sellers: Preparation and smart pricing remain your best tools for securing quick, competitive offers.

Mortgage Rates Bring Renewed Momentum

Mortgage rates have dropped to their lowest point of the year, with expectations for further easing through 2025. This is bringing both buyers and sellers back into the market, creating a sense of optimism as we head into the fall.
