What This Means
San Rafael's housing market is showing signs of cooling as we head into mid-summer. While the year-over-year median price is still up 4.1%, this month brought a slight dip in pricing and a notable slowdown in sales velocity. Homes are now sitting on the market for an average of 68 days, a significant jump from 41 days last month, suggesting buyers are taking their time and sellers are losing some negotiating power. The fact that homes are still selling above asking price (102.2% ratio) indicates the market hasn't collapsed, but the momentum is clearly shifting.
The pipeline ahead looks softer too. With 205 active listings on the market and many sitting nearly 100 days before finding a buyer, inventory is building relative to demand. The gap between active listing prices (median $1.198 million) and actual sold prices (median $1.392 million) suggests many sellers still have optimistic expectations that may take time to adjust. This is typical for Marin County heading into summer, when some seasonal softening occurs, but the extended days on market this month warrants attention from both buyers and sellers watching the market closely.
