$5.3M in Kentfield. $1.3M in Novato. Same county. Very different markets.
September’s average sale prices across Marin tell an interesting story. But averages can also be misleading.
A few high-end sales in Ross, Kentfield or Tiburon can dramatically influence the numbers, particularly in a month with limited transactions.
And anyone who knows Marin knows that even within the same town, pricing can vary enormously.
A flat, usable lot. Walkability. Sun exposure. Privacy. Views. Condition. These details matter, and buyers absolutely pay attention to them.
Here’s what I always tell my clients: Don’t confuse an average sale price with market value.
One is a statistic. The other requires understanding the property, the comparable sales and what’s actually happening in that particular market.
That’s where local knowledge comes in.
Curious what these numbers mean for your home or your next purchase? Let’s have a conversation. I’ll give you the specifics, not just the averages.
