Summer is one of the most competitive times to buy in Sonoma + Marin Counties.
The kids are out of school, schedules shift, and the best homes? They're gone by Sunday.
Here's what we want you to know before you start your summer home search:
The best homes move fast — like same-weekend fast. Lock in your financing and get clear on your priorities before you fall in love with a listing.
Sellers are working around their own timelines — school years ending, jobs changing, moves already in motion. When we understand what they need, we can write an offer that stands out without simply paying more.
A bidding war ≠ a perfect house. Competition can create pressure to cut corners. Don't skip the inspection just because there's heat on a property.
A summer move is absolutely doable — you just need to go in prepared, with people who know this market in your corner.
