And just like that, we are falling back and into November. I hope you had a festive and fun Halloween with plenty of treats! I know that I enjoyed that extra hour of sleep on Sunday as well! Now we will welcome in brighter mornings and longer evenings, cooler temps and likely some rain. It's crazy to me that another year is winding down with the holidays soon upon us!
The 7ft+ tides have been unusual in the past, but seem to be more frequent these days. I hope that you and your properties haven't been affected by flooding. Stay safe and keep up on any problem areas by checking in with public works and signing up for AlertMarin.

Marin’s single-family market got noticeably tighter in September. More homes sold, but from a much smaller pool of listings, and buyers are competing for what’s available.
Sales are up: 190 single-family homes closed, up 12% from last year and 21% from August.
Inventory is down: Active listings fell 27%, leaving less than two months of supply.
Competition is back: Half of all single-family homes sold over asking, up 12 points from a year ago, and homes are selling faster (32 days on market vs. 42 last year).
Prices are steady: The median rose a modest 3% to $1.7M.
Condos are a different story. That market is smaller and steadier, but more price-sensitive. More than a third of condo sellers reduced their price, and the median held around $600K.
Across the region, the Bay Area is splitting based on inventory. San Francisco led the way, with 92% of homes selling over asking, including some record-breaking sales and homes trading for $1M over the asking price. Areas with growing inventory, like Santa Clara and Sacramento, are seeing more price cuts. Marin is firmly on the competitive side.
Fall inventory is out there now, and new listings will soon taper off for the holiday season. This is a great time to start following the market closely. Sellers who haven’t received many offers may be more motivated, which can create an opportunity for frustrated buyers. Some of these homes may not check every box on your dream list, but if you’re open to taking on a few projects, you could face much less competition.
With several AI company IPOs expected in the spring, we anticipate less of a winter slowdown and a tight spring market. That makes now a great time to explore buying. How quickly buyers absorb current inventory will tell us whether this momentum carries through the end of the year and into 2027.
Curious what this means for your home or your next move? I’m always happy to talk it through.
