Recent Compass data shows that Marin County’s market continues to hold strong in key lifestyle-driven communities like Mill Valley, Tiburon, Larkspur, and Novato, despite broader economic uncertainty.

Median home prices across many of these neighborhoods remain elevated, with Mill Valley and Larkspur continuing to lead in pricing strength, while Tiburon maintains some of the county’s highest price-per-square-foot values. At the same time, several Marin neighborhoods are still averaging sale-to-list ratios above 100%, reinforcing that well-prepared homes continue to attract competitive interest.

Inventory has improved compared to the peak pandemic years, giving buyers more options and slightly more negotiating power. However, demand for updated homes with privacy, outdoor space, views, and strong locations remains remarkably resilient.

Another important shift: buyers are taking more time and analyzing value more carefully. Days on market have normalized in many areas, but properly positioned homes are still moving quickly — especially in neighborhoods with limited supply and strong long-term desirability.

The bigger story across Marin right now is that this is no longer a market driven purely by urgency. It’s a market driven by strategy, presentation, pricing, and hyper-local knowledge.
