Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Year-over-year, San Rafael’s rolling three-month typical home value has edged down slightly, even as the median list price has climbed over 6 percent. At the same time, homes sold have surged more than 28 percent compared with a year ago, signaling that more buyers are engaging despite mixed pricing trends.
In the latest rolling three-month period ending in May 2026, 163 homes sold while 216 new listings came on the market, and active inventory reached 297 properties. Conditions still favor sellers, with months of supply at just 2.1 and the market classified as a seller’s market.
Homes are moving at a moderate pace, with a median of 24 days on market in the recent period and nearly half of sales going under contract within two weeks. With about 47 percent of homes selling above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio just over 102 percent, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands how to navigate these competitive dynamics.
Learn more about what San Rafael has to offer.
San Rafael offers residents a welcoming community with a rich blend of historic charm, abundant outdoor spaces, diverse dining and arts, and easy access to regional culture and services.
San Rafael pairs a historic downtown with practical access to San Francisco, the East Bay, and wine country. Located along Highway 101 and served by SMART, it offers an easier commute option while still feeling distinctly local.
Daily life centers on Fourth Street, where independent shops, cafes, and the Rafael Theater give the city a walkable heart. Outdoor time is close at hand. China Camp State Park and paths along the Marin County Civic Center reservoir provide miles of trails and open views, appealing to hikers, cyclists, and dog owners planning weekend routines as much as visitors.
Families pay close attention to schools such as San Rafael High School and nearby Terra Linda High School, while the San Rafael Public Library and community centers support after‑school activities and remote workers looking for quiet spaces. Groceries, medical offices, and everyday services cluster around Northgate and along Francisco Boulevard, making errands straightforward.
For dining and culture, residents enjoy the Downtown San Rafael Farmers Market in season and performances at the Marin Center. Waterfront pockets off the Canal neighborhood offer marinas and bay views that feel removed from the highway corridor.
Whether you are comparing neighborhoods or preparing to sell, a local real estate expert who knows San Rafael’s traffic patterns, microclimates, and zoning rules can simplify decisions and reduce stress. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with agents who understand how to navigate this market confidently.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

Her expertise was invaluable and her communication was incredible and I never had to question the process, timelines or what to expect. Even after moving in she has been keeping in constant touch to make sure all my expectations are being met and to help in any way possible. Run don't walk to have Lolli help you find your dream home like she helped me!!”

“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 !”

“Efficient and non-intrusive service. They recommended an agent, Craig Ackerman, who got us our dream home after only 3 weeks, 4 house-viewings, and one offer later. We'd gone through 3 ineffective agents over a 4 month period before this, so it was much appreciated!”
