Marin’s July market showed encouraging momentum heading into the second half of summer.

Sales activity increased across both single family homes and condos compared to last year, while prices also moved higher. That combination points to a market with healthy buyer demand, even during a time of year that can typically see activity slow.

The condo market was particularly notable. Homes sold slightly faster than they did last July, suggesting buyers are responding when the right properties come to market.

For single family homes, the story was one of steady strength. Prices edged higher, homes moved slightly faster, and significantly more properties changed hands than a year ago.

The takeaway? Marin’s market is showing strength across multiple fronts. As we approach the fall market, new inventory will be an important factor to watch and could create fresh opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

July’s numbers tell a bigger story than just rising prices.

San Francisco’s summer market is typically quieter as buyers and sellers travel and new inventory slows, but demand remained resilient this July. Single family homes continued to command a premium, with well positioned properties moving quickly even as fewer homes changed hands.

The condo market tells a slightly different story. A significant increase in sales activity, combined with shorter marketing times and higher prices than last year, points to buyers becoming increasingly active in a segment that has offered more inventory and choice in recent years.

The takeaway? The market is moving, but not uniformly. Property type, neighborhood, condition, and pricing strategy continue to make a major difference in how a home performs.

As we head toward the fall market, I’ll be watching closely to see whether increased inventory brings more opportunities for buyers and how continued demand impacts sellers.

Every renovation tells a story.

The finished photos are what everyone sees. The planning, decisions, and countless details behind them are what often make the difference.

From preserving original Victorian character to thoughtful updates that improve how a home lives today, every project is approached with intention.

This transformation at 3345 22nd Street is a great reminder that preparing a home for the market is about more than fresh paint or new finishes. It's about understanding what buyers value while respecting what makes a property unique.

It's hard to believe we're already more than halfway through 2026!

I'm incredibly grateful to every client who trusted me to guide them through such an important milestone. Whether buying or selling, every transaction is unique, and it's a privilege to be part of each journey.

Here's a look back at some of the incredible homes I had the opportunity to represent during the first half of the year. Thank you to my clients, colleagues, friends, and everyone who has supported my business along the way.

APRIL MARKET SNAPSHOT

The Bay Area spring market didn’t just stay active in April, it became more competitive.

San Francisco continued to see strong upward pressure on pricing, with single family homes surpassing a $2.1M median price and condos showing a notable jump in buyer activity compared to March. Even with more inventory coming online, buyer demand continued to keep pace throughout April.

Marin remained remarkably steady, especially in the single family market where well presented homes continued to move quickly.

A few numbers that stood out to me this month:

• SF condo sales jumped 22.4% year over year
• San Francisco homes averaged just 17 days on market
• Marin single family sales increased nearly 15% year over year
• Buyer activity strengthened across both homes and condos heading into summer

April felt like a clear shift deeper into the spring market.

A closer look at the March market: Across San Francisco and Marin, each segment is moving on its own timeline.

Some are gaining traction, others are opening the door for more thoughtful opportunities.

Knowing how to navigate that is everything.

More opportunity in Marin condos right now 📉

A slower pace and softer demand are giving buyers more room to be selective.

For those looking in Marin, this is where strategy can really pay off.

SOLD | BUYER REPRESENTED ✨

Recently closed on this light filled corner condo where the Mission, Bernal Heights, and Noe Valley come together. With sweeping outlooks, a thoughtful layout, and access to a shared rooftop patio with panoramic City views, this home immediately stood out.

The living spaces are anchored by a fireplace and open naturally into the kitchen and dining areas, creating an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. Tucked away from the main living spaces, the bedroom wing offers a sense of privacy and calm while still feeling connected to the energy of the neighborhood below.

Excited for my buyers to start their next chapter here.

SF condos are gaining momentum 📈

Stronger pricing and increased activity are bringing buyers back into the market.

This segment is starting to feel more competitive again, especially for well-positioned homes.
