MARIN COUNTY 2026 MARKET UPDATE
Happy Summer and July 4th! The first half of 2026 has proven that Marin County real estate remains an incredibly resilient, high-performing seller’s market. Driven by anticipated tech IPOs like OpenAI and Anthropic, a wave of new capital is crossing the bridge. Highly qualified, all-cash buyers are aggressively competing for limited inventory unfazed by mortgage rate fluctuations. The surge of AI wealth is reshaping Northern California luxury markets well beyond Silicon Valley. Flush with stock gains and flexible schedules, thirty-something tech professionals are buying early.
Mill Valley has taken center stage as one of Marin's most sought-after destinations. Due to consistent lack of inventory, decisive buyers have pushed the average single-family home price upwards of $2.5M. Well prepared and staged homes are securing offers in under 10 days. Roughly 85% of spring and early summer sales are closing within 30 days at an average of 110% of the list price with multiple-offers.
Following a highly rewarding spring season for our clients, we are preparing for Marin's next peak selling season that brings a steady stream of new inventory, which runs from late August through early November. Whether you are looking to position your home to stand out for sale or need guidance to win in competitive buying situations, we are here to help. Reach out to discuss your real estate goals and put our local expertise to work for you.

We recently partnered with the homeowners of 101 Elm Ave in Mill Valley to prepare their beautiful property for the upcoming fall market.
During our initial planning phase, the clients asked if it might be possible to sell the home immediately, to bypass the stress, time, and expense of the proposed preparation and staging work.
Leveraging our deep local roots and network of top agents we quietly and strategically marketed the home to highly qualified buyers. Within days, we secured an off-market offer at a price our clients were thrilled with, leading to a seamless and incredibly successful sale.
This exceptional outcome highlights the power of off-market networking in Marin’s fast-moving luxury landscape.
If you are curious about the true value of your home or want to explore how a discrete, off-market sale could work for your property we would love to connect.
I am excited to be heading to Cape Cod soon for some family time after a busy first half of 2026. Skaket Beach in Orleans, MA, pictured here, is a magical place I’ve been visiting since I was a kid. It brings me so much joy to travel there every year with my daughters and watch them create their own memories of a classic Cape Cod summer.
No matter how you are spending your season, Ethan and Nadine hope its filled with sunshine, well-deserved time off, and relaxing days alongside your loved ones.
