What to Expect in 2025

January typically starts slow as the market emerges after the holiday season, however activity is expected to build with new listings during the busy spring season. Based on current trends and forecasts, projections point to a seller’s market with sustained demand and limited inventory.

Here’s what that means for you:

If you’re thinking about selling: With homes selling quickly and prices projected to rise another 2%, 2025 is shaping up to be an ideal time to list and maximize your return.

If you’re planning to buy: Competitive conditions continue, but stabilizing mortgage rates may give buyers more confidence to make a move. The key? Having the right strategy and early access to the best homes—especially off-market opportunities. That’s where we come in.

You Might Be Wondering…

Is now a good time to sell my home?
Yes! With limited inventory and high demand, homes are moving quickly and often receiving multiple offers. Plus, prices are projected to increase, meaning sellers can still maximize their returns.

Will home prices continue to rise in 2025?
Experts predict a 2% increase in home prices this year, making it a strong market for sellers. However, buyers who act sooner may benefit before further appreciation.

What’s the biggest challenge for buyers right now?
Competition. With homes selling in just 21 days on average, buyers need to be prepared to move quickly and work with an agent who can provide access to off-market listings.

How can I prepare to buy in this market?
Start by getting pre-approved for a mortgage, understanding your budget, and working with a knowledgeable Own Marin agent who knows the Marin market inside and out.
