Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Novato has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up nearly 9% year over year to 263. New listings have risen even faster, climbing about 19% from a year ago. Pending sales are also higher than last year, indicating that buyers are still stepping up as more homes come to market.
Pricing is adjusting to this extra supply and slightly softer demand. The typical home value over the past three months is down about 4% year over year, and the median list price has declined nearly 7% from the same period last year.
Homes are moving through the market more quickly despite the added inventory, with median days on market dropping nearly in half compared to a year ago, to 28 days. Months of supply has increased to 2.7, almost 49% higher than last year, yet conditions still favor sellers, and roughly one-third of recent sales closed above list price with an average sale-to-list ratio just over 100%. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a Novato agent who understands the data and the local market on the ground.

“Angelina Rantissi was very professional and knowledgeable. She guided me through the whole process seamlesly. She said at the very beginning that she was available at any time and not to hesitate to call. This was very important to me, as I live in Maryland and the 3 hour time difference could have been problematic. She helped me find handymen and movers. I highly recommend her. Thank you Angelina !”
