Novato’s rolling three-month snapshot through September 2026 shows more homes coming to market and more deals closing than a year ago. Active listings are up roughly a quarter year over year, while homes sold have climbed by about 37 percent. New and pending listings have also risen more than 20 percent compared with last year, signaling stronger contract activity even as recent months saw a slight pullback.
Prices over this period have held firm to slightly higher than last year, with the typical home value up about 6 percent year over year despite a notable dip from early summer peaks. List prices show only modest annual growth, suggesting sellers are adjusting expectations as buyers gain a bit more choice.
Conditions remain tilted toward sellers, but some indicators point to a more balanced feel. Months of supply sits near three, down from a year ago but higher than last winter’s very tight levels, and homes are taking around 41 days to sell, roughly in line with last year. At the same time, about 38 percent of sales are closing above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio remains just over 100 percent, underscoring solid demand. Whether you are trying to stand out as a buyer or maximize your position as a seller, Agent Pronto can connect you with an experienced local agent who understands these trends.
