Analysis & Insights
What the data means for buyers and sellers in San Anselmo
Key Market Observations
Strong Price Appreciation
Median sale prices rose 17.7% quarter-over-quarter, from $1,516,000 in Q4 2025 to $1,785,000 in Q1 2026. This significant increase reflects strong demand in the San Anselmo market, particularly for higher-end properties.
Extended Days on Market
Average days on market increased from 28 days to 68 days. This is partly influenced by several high-value properties that were listed for extended periods before closing. The median DOM of 40 days provides a more representative picture of typical market velocity.
Low Inventory Persists
With only 15 active listings and 1.7 months of inventory, San Anselmo remains firmly in seller's market territory. A balanced market typically has 4-6 months of inventory. The 11 pending sales indicate continued buyer demand.
Seasonal Sales Pattern
Sales activity shows the typical seasonal pattern with spring (April-June) being the most active period. Q1 2026 saw 26 closed sales, with March alone accounting for 13 transactions — signaling a strong spring market ahead.
For Sellers
- •Prices are at their highest point in the past 12 months — an excellent time to list.
- •Low inventory (1.7 months) means less competition from other sellers.
- •Well-priced homes are still moving quickly — median DOM is 40 days.
- •Spring market momentum is building with 13 sales in March alone.
For Buyers
- •New listings are coming to market — 1 coming soon and spring inventory building.
- •Some properties are selling below asking — opportunities exist for well-positioned offers.
- •Price range is wide ($390,000 to $3,650,000) — options at multiple price points.
- •Act decisively on well-priced properties — inventory remains limited.
