Greenbrae Real Estate – 2024 Year End
Marin saw an 8% increase in the total number of homes sold in 2024 compared to 2023, with 1,752 single-family homes changing hands. The $1 million to $3 million price range experienced the largest growth, with a 10% rise in sales compared to the previous year. The average selling price in 2024 remained steady at $2,150,000, nearly unchanged from 2023.
Homes that are less than ideal faced price reductions, while remodeled properties featuring open floor plans and premium amenities—such as pools, breathtaking views, or expansive yards—drew strong buyer competition and multiple offers.
Forecasting the short-term impact of a new administration, global trade developments, and financial markets remains complex. However, with anticipated lower interest rates, robust stock market performance, and a strong regional job market, demand is expected to continue outpacing the supply of available homes, contributing to price stability.
