June 2025 Market Update: Marin & San Francisco

Summer is here, and with it comes a fresh wave of activity and opportunity on both sides of the Golden Gate. But this season is looking a little different than the frenzied springs of years past.

As we review the latest data from May 2025, it’s clear that both the Marin and San Francisco markets are shifting—not in a dramatic way, but in a natural recalibration shaped by rising inventory, softer buyer urgency, and the economic mood. Between April’s stock market dip and a general sense of financial caution, some buyers and sellers took a step back. But the story here isn't a slowdown—it's a return to balance.

Marin County: More Choices, Calmer Competition

In Marin, new listings rose 10% year over year in May, giving buyers more breathing room and options. Sales were down slightly—19% compared to this time last year—but that's largely due to timing and confidence, not a lack of interest. Many homes are still receiving strong offers, especially those that are well-priced and well-presented.

• Median Sales Price: $1.86M (down 4% YoY)
  
  

• Average Days on Market: 35
  
  

• Homes Selling Over Asking: 46%
  
  

• Average Sale-to-List Price: 100%
  
  

For sellers, this means your home needs to shine. Buyers are looking carefully and taking their time—but when they see the right property, they’re ready to act. The most desirable homes are still moving fast and often above asking.

San Francisco: Strong Demand, Especially for Single-Family Homes

Across the bridge, San Francisco saw a similar pattern with growing inventory and slightly lower year-over-year sales. But single-family homes, in particular, remain in high demand. The condo market is a bit more subdued, but even there, standout properties are getting traction.

• Median Sales Price (Houses): $1.65M (down 4% YoY)
  
  

• Average Days on Market: 39
  
  

• Over Asking Sales:
  
  

• 57% of houses
  
  

• 31% of condos
  
  

• Average Sale-to-List Price:
  
  

• 103% for houses
  
  

• 98% for condos
  
  

It’s still a competitive landscape in SF, but not the frenzy we’ve seen in past years. Buyers have more time to consider their options, and sellers who are strategic are reaping the rewards.

Navigating This Market

Markets like this can actually be an ideal time to make a move. Buyers aren’t being rushed into bidding wars (though they still happen!), and sellers who invest in preparation—staging, pricing, timing—are still seeing excellent results. There’s room to breathe, to negotiate, and to get creative.
