| | | I hope you're enjoying the delightful summer weather and all the wonderful experiences our beautiful Marin County has to offer. Whenever life feels a bit overwhelming, I find solace in a peaceful hike or a stroll along Blackie's Pasture, and it always reminds me of how fortunate we are to call this incredible place home.
Let's Dive into Real Estate:
The second quarter was notably influenced by political and economic uncertainties that arose in early spring, leading to an overall cooling in the market compared to last year. Here's a quick overview: |
| The Q2 median house sales price was unchanged from Q2 2023 and 2024 The average price per square foot for Q2 2025 experienced a slight decline. New listings in June were fewer than in May, but there was an 8% increase compared to the previous year.
|
| As the quarter concluded, we witnessed some significant economic shifts: the stock markets reached new highs, "economic policy uncertainty" decreased, and interest rates started to dip. If these positive trends persist — and that is the key — they could have a positive impact on Q3. Historically, a substantial decrease in interest rates has sparked late-summer rallies, even when rates climb again in the fall.
For sellers, focusing on strategic pricing and thorough home preparation is essential. For buyers, opportunities abound—it's crucial to stay updated on listings and be ready to act swiftly when you discover the right property. |
| Enjoy the rest of your Summer! |
