Analysis (updated quarterly):
Inventory has shot up 25% year over year. This means that buyers now have more to choose from amongst the competition. Although prices have stayed relatively the same (even a slight increase in avg price since last year - likely due to a large sale in the county), the combination of more inventory, only slight increase in pendings (230 last Sept, 247 this year), and rising interest rates are strong indicators of a changing marketplace. Buyers will have more to choose from, forcing less desirable properties to adjust their price to attract the same level of attention. With rates only creeping up slightly, buyers will still be scrambling to invest. Marin's strong schools also keep it more insulated from market changes than other Bay Area communities. However, it should be noted that we may be facing a different level of demand early next year. These next 2-4 months will tell us a lot of about which direction the market is headed.
