Coastal Marin County real estate remains highly competitive in mid-2025, with demand outpacing supply in most segments. The median home sold price in Marin County was approximately $1,478,450 in June 2025, reflecting a 2% increase compared to the previous year. The median price per square foot stood at $802, and homes often sold quickly, reinforcing the county’s status as a seller’s market[4].

Inventory has increased notably, with some reports indicating a 39% year-over-year rise this spring, which has helped ease pressure on buyers but has not shifted the market out of seller territory. For example, in April 2025, there were 562 homes for sale (up nearly 39% from the previous year), and homes spent an average of 33 days on the market—a decrease from recent years. Despite increased listings, sales activity kept pace, resulting in only a slight build-up of inventory[1].

The median sold price in Marin County consistently hovered between $1.47 and $1.5 million for much of 2025, and the median price per square foot has seen small but steady increases, reaching as high as $927 in April and May. Mortgage rates remain elevated but stable, which, while dampening some buyer enthusiasm, has not caused a significant reduction in prices or transaction volume. Many buyers are recalibrating expectations rather than exiting the market altogether[1].

Across the coastal towns—such as Sausalito, Tiburon, Belvedere, and Mill Valley—demand is particularly strong for well-priced, move-in-ready properties. The absorption rate in early 2025 reached 43%, a clear indicator that homes are selling quickly and often receive multiple offers. This dynamic is further amplified in highly desirable neighborhoods and in waterfront properties, where inventory is traditionally tighter and buyer competition more intense[3].

Homes are moving off the market fast, with some listings pending in as few as 13 days and median days on market reported at 17 for certain property types. Average home values, according to some sources, range from $1,458,000 to $1,472,301, depending on the tracking service or month of reporting[6][7].

Price sensitivity is increasing as more inventory comes online, and buyers are exercising caution due to economic and policy headwinds. However, for homes that are competitively priced and well-presented—especially in coastal areas—demand and price stability remain strong through summer 2025[5].
