Marin homes are spending less time on the market than they were a year ago.

Single-family homes averaged 31 days on market in September, down 22.5% year over year and 11.4% from August.

Put that alongside just 1.6 months of inventory, with 47% of properties selling above list price and 35% receiving multiple offers, and it gives us a clearer picture of the current market. Buyers are still acting when the right home comes along.

But averages can hide a lot in Marin. Location, condition, price point and preparation all matter, and even two homes within the same neighborhood can receive very different responses.

That’s why I look beyond the number of days on market to understand which homes are moving quickly, and why.

If you’re considering buying or selling, I’m always happy to share what I’m seeing.

103% is a number worth looking at more closely.

In September, Marin single-family homes sold for an average of 103% of their original list price, up from 100% in August. And 47% of properties sold above list price during the month.

But that doesn’t mean every home is automatically selling over asking. 35% received multiple offers, which helps illustrate how differently buyers can respond from one property to the next.

For sellers, this is where preparation, pricing and positioning matter. For buyers, understanding the level of competition around a particular property is much more useful than simply knowing the countywide average.

The numbers give us the broader picture. The individual home tells us how to approach it.

A new marsh is taking shape behind College of Marin, and some of its most frequent visitors are already influencing how it evolves. This week’s blog looks at the restoration project, the ducks making themselves at home, and what it means for this little corner of Marin. Now up on my website.

The creek bank by College of Marin was concrete until fall 2025. See which of the 5,800 native plants made it, what ducks and geese ate, and what to look for from the Kentfield path.

October in Marin County is hard to beat. From rolling golden hills and coastal views to crisp morning air and scenic trails, fall is the perfect time to get outside and explore all that Marin has to offer.

Just one of the many reasons to love calling Marin home.
