How's The Market?

FEBRUARY 2025 WRAP-UP

Buyer activity is picking up in Marin County, with the number of sold listings up 17.5% compared to February of last year. This signals renewed confidence and fresh opportunities for homeowners, investors, and first-time buyers alike.

While inventory remains limited, it’s higher than this time last year, giving buyers more options—though competition is still strong, especially for sought-after neighborhoods and premium properties.

A key measure of market balance, Months Supply of Inventory (MSI),remains low. A seller’s market typically occurs when MSI is below three months, and Marin County currently sits at 2.1 months of inventory for single-family homes. This means sellers still hold the advantage, though buyers are seeing more options than before.

Falling mortgage rates are also giving buyers a boost. Freddie Mac reported that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage saw its largest weekly drop since September, which could motivate more buyers to enter the market. Lower rates are also driving refinancing activity, with refinance applications now making up nearly 44% of market activity—the highest level since December.

With increased inventory and strong demand, this spring is shaping up to be an active season for real estate in Marin County.
