Marin County Market Update | August 2026

Marin County’s single family home market strengthened decisively in July, with the clearest shift visible in competition and speed. The share of homes selling over list price jumped from 31.9% to 51.0%, a 19.1 percentage point increase and nearly 60% higher than last year. Sellers also received an average of 103.7% of list price, compared with 99.5% in July 2025. Together, these figures show a meaningful return of seller leverage, particularly for desirable homes that were priced and presented well. Homes sold in a median of just 19 days, 14 days faster than last July and a 42.4% year over year decline. That was Marin’s fastest July market time since 2022 and the third fastest July in the 17 years shown in the historical data. Even during the typically quieter summer period, buyers moved quickly when the right properties became available. The driving force remained a sharp imbalance between supply and demand. Buyers absorbed more homes despite having substantially fewer options, creating a notably tighter and more competitive market than last summer.

Inner East Bay Market Update | August 2026

The Inner East Bay single family home market remained highly competitive in July, with sharply tighter inventory supporting stronger prices, faster sales, and increased bidding activity. The most consequential shift was supply. Just 400 homes remained for sale at the end of July, down 30.2% year over year. More sales against substantially lower inventory points to resilient demand and a market absorbing available homes efficiently. Competition intensified accordingly. 77.8% of homes sold over list price, while sellers received an average of 119.3% of list price. Although strategic underpricing is common in the Inner East Bay and contributes to these ratios, the widening year over year spread is a clear sign that buyers competed more aggressively for desirable homes. Overall, the Inner East Bay remains a fast moving, seller favorable market defined by limited supply and decisive buyer competition. Sellers who prepare and price strategically continue to be rewarded, while buyers should be ready to move quickly when the right home appears. The Inner East Bay typically sees a second wave of listings after Labor Day, bringing more choices for buyers and renewed market activity through September and October.

San Francisco Market Update | August 2026

San Francisco’s July results show that the strength of 2026 has continued into the summer. Prices advanced at double digit rates across both major segments, homes sold faster, and available inventory contracted sharply. Single family homes maintained extraordinary pricing power, while condominiums delivered some of their strongest results in years. The median single family home price rose 24.2% year over year to $2,027,500, the highest July median on record. The condominium market also showed a meaningful increase in competition. The share of condos selling over asking nearly doubled, rising from 28.9% to 53.8%, while median market time fell from 41 days to 20, the fastest July pace since 2019. Overall, July reinforced the durability of San Francisco’s housing market: single family homes remain exceptionally competitive, while condominiums are benefiting from a meaningful expansion in buyer participation. The fall market traditionally begins after Labor Day, and we expect an influx of new inventory as sellers return from the summer. That should create more opportunities for buyers, but with demand and pricing power remaining strong, well-prepared and strategically priced listings should continue to command attention.

Napa Market Update | Q2 2026

Napa County’s single family home market gained meaningful momentum in Q2. Closed sales jumped 30.2% year over year, the strongest Q2 total since 2022, while homes going into contract increased 8.3%. Quarter-end inventory declined slightly, indicating stronger absorption rather than activity driven by additional supply. Buyers have more time and negotiating room, but the substantial increase in sales shows they are acting when pricing and presentation align. Napa County entered the second half of 2026 with stable pricing and considerably more transactions. Sellers still need disciplined pricing and elevated presentation, while buyers benefit from greater negotiating power. The market is more measured than competitive, but it is clearly active when value is compelling.

Lamorinda Market Update | Q2 2026

Lamorinda’s Q2 2026 market was defined by tightening supply and intensifying competition. The number of homes for sale at quarter-end fell 23.8% year over year to just 96, while the median time on market dropped 25% to an exceptionally fast nine days. More than half of all sales closed above asking, up from 48.3% last year, and sellers received an average of 102.6% of list price. City-level results reinforce that story. The takeaway is clear. Lamorinda enters the second half of 2026 with stable prices, exceptionally fast sales and fewer homes available. Buyers remain engaged, and well-presented, appropriately priced properties continue to command strong competition.

Sonoma Market Update | Q2 2026

Sonoma County’s housing market strengthened in the second quarter, led by sharply tighter inventory, rising sales, faster market times, and stronger competition. Quarter-end inventory fell 19.0% to 891 homes, yet closed sales increased 6.6% to 1,121, the highest Q2 total since 2022. The broader backdrop offered additional encouragement. Mortgage rates remained below year-ago levels, Sonoma County unemployment improved to 3.7%, and June inflation cooled meaningfully, potentially creating a more supportive environment for housing demand. Overall, Q2 reflected a resilient and increasingly competitive Sonoma County market. More homes sold despite substantially less inventory, prices reached a new Q2 high, and well-positioned listings continued to attract decisive buyers.

Marin County Market Update | Q2 2026

Marin County’s single-family home market strengthened considerably in Q2, as closed sales increased 17.7% while quarter-end inventory fell 36.5%. This sharp absorption of available supply intensified competition, with 57.5% of homes selling above asking price, and sellers receiving an average of 104.7% of list price. The condominium market also experienced a significant increase in activity. Pending sales jumped 22.5% while completed sales rose 13.9%. Overall, Q2 reflected a Marin market with strong momentum. Single-family homes remain firmly seller-favored, while the sharp increase in condominium activity shows that demand is broadening across property types. Well-prepared and strategically priced homes should remain well positioned as the market moves into the second half of 2026.

Inner East Bay Market Update | Q2 2026

The Inner East Bay closed Q2 2026 with one of the strongest setups we have seen in recent quarters: less inventory, more closed sales, more homes going into contract, and stronger competition from buyers. The headline is not just that prices improved. It is that demand expanded while available supply tightened, which is typically the foundation of a much healthier market. Single-family homes led the way. 82.7% of single-family homes sold over asking, and sellers received an average of 121.5% of list price. The condominium market also showed meaningful improvement. Most notably, the share of condos selling over list jumped to 52.8%, up from 39.2% last year, signaling renewed competition in a segment that had been more uneven. Overall, Q2 points to an Inner East Bay market that is tightening, competitive, and gaining momentum. With inventory constrained, local employment steady, and regional wealth creation improving, the Inner East Bay enters the second half of 2026 from a position of strength.
