What This Means
San Anselmo's housing market is showing mixed signals as we head into summer. The median price jumped nearly 21 percent month-over-month to $2.055 million, which is encouraging for sellers, though it's still down about 10 percent compared to May 2025. The real standout is that homes are selling above asking price with a 108.7% sale-to-list ratio, suggesting strong buyer demand despite higher mortgage rates. Homes are also moving faster, spending just 36 days on market versus 39 days last month.
However, there's a wrinkle: sales volume dropped 26 percent from April to May. This likely reflects typical late-spring seasonality rather than weakness—fewer homes are entering the market heading into summer, which can create scarcity and prop up prices. The 43 active listings represent a relatively modest supply, which further supports the strong pricing we're seeing.
Looking ahead, buyers should expect competition in this price range, while sellers have negotiating leverage. The $1.01 per square foot price point remains solidly upscale, positioning San Anselmo as an exclusive Marin County enclave. Unless interest rates shift dramatically, expect prices to stabilize around current levels through the summer months.
