Market Intelligence

Analysis & Insights

What the data means for buyers and sellers in San Anselmo

Key Market Observations

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
