The median sold price jumped 10% vs the same month last year to $1.95 million, while the number of homes for sale was up 15% to 301 on the market. There is now a healthy 2.1 months of supply on the market, up 24% since March 2023. The post Monthly Marin County Real Estate Market Report April 2024 appeared first on Thomas Henthorne ..read more

In February we saw all of our metrics move up, with the median sold price up 20% vs. the same time last year to $1.44 million.
