| | Hello Marin Locals,
Have you noticed the harbor seals resting along the Sausalito shoreline? Camellias coming into full bloom? Migratory birds returning to our local wetlands? The first wave of open house signs?! The early signals of spring in Marin are here.
This month, I’ve gathered a mix of local happenings, along with a snapshot of mortgage rates, market trends and the new Ultra-Luxury Report as we head into the spring buying and selling season. With rates about a percentage point lower than this time last year, we should see activity pick up.
If you’re curious about the market or thinking about what’s next, I’m always happy to be a resource to help you think it through.
Wishing you an inspiring February,
❤️ Robin |

| Jan 29 2026 "Mortgage rates remain near their lowest levels in three years, which is encouraging for potential homebuyers who have waited to enter the market for some time. Lower rates, combined with strong income growth, have led to a steady increase in purchase applications compared to last year. More homeowners refinancing their mortgages are also benefiting from these lower rates, as shown by the rise in refinance applications over the past year." (FreddieMac, 2026)
