Greenbrae Real Estate – Mid-year 2026
Greenbrae Summary
The Greenbrae housing market gained momentum during the first half of 2026 as strong buyer demand, fueled in part by AI related liquidity, combined with a greater number of higher priced home sales. Sales activity increased to 25 homes, up from 18 during the first half of 2025, while buyers continued to compete aggressively for well-priced properties.
The average sale price climbed to $2,525,000, up from $2.2 million during the second half of 2025, while the average price per square foot rose to $1,153 from $942. The increase reflects continued demand across all price segments, with the strongest growth occurring in the $2 million to $4 million market, where sales increased substantially compared to the prior year.
Competition among buyers remained robust. Nearly half (48%) of all homes sold above their asking price, while the average premium paid over asking increased to 11.4%. More than half of all homes received multiple offers, nearly doubling from the previous period, and 60% of properties went into escrow within 15 days, highlighting the continued pace of the market.
As inventory remains relatively limited, well-prepared homes continue to attract strong buyer interest. With demand remaining healthy and move-in-ready homes commanding premium prices, Greenbrae’s market is expected to remain favorable for sellers through the second half of 2026.
