Market Report | September 2009

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Marin County home sales were brisk in September, helping boost prices yet again – the average price rose 11%. The median price of a single-family home in Marin was $825,000, flat compared with the previous month and 144 homes were sold – down slightly from last month. In August, the median price was up 6.5% to $825,000 and 164 homes were sold. Though prices were still 5.7% below a year ago, the number of homes sold was about the same and this is very encouraging. Hopefully, this trend continues.

Recent trends suggest the housing market is stabilizing, and it looks like now is a good time to make a long-term purchase. Interest rates dropped below 5-percent last week, and inventory is up – there are some great bargains out there right now.
