Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).

Year-over-year, San Rafael’s rolling three-month data shows prices pushing higher while listing activity eases. The typical home value is up nearly 18% from a year ago, even as active listings have declined about 9% and new listings are down more than 12%.

Looking at the latest rolling period through September 2026, buyers are contending with relatively lean inventory and strong pricing power for sellers. The market is classified as a seller’s market, with about 2.2 months of supply and a median days on market of 28.

Demand has clearly intensified compared with last year, with homes sold rising more than 36% and pending sales up about 35% year over year. At the same time, sellers are often achieving favorable terms, as roughly 46% of homes are selling above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just over 102%, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers find an agent who understands these conditions.



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.

“Jorge and Iris made buying my property a smooth and easy experience from start to finish. They were accommodating, communicative, and always prompt in responding to my questions. Both were professional while also being personable and easy to work with. They handled the inspection and negotiations with care, and everything went smoothly without any issues. I’m very happy with the property and would highly recommend Jorge and Iris to anyone looking to buy a home!”

“Jessie did very good job at showing us the house around San Francisco and San Mateo County. She gave us very professional and honest advice on the home we were looking for. She went through the inspection, pointed out what we need to consider, and helped us draft a strong offer to secure our current home. Thanks to her, we have our first lovely home. Even after securing our home, Jessie went the extra mile to ensure we would be able to comfortably settle in. We would highly recommend Jessie to any homebuyers who need help in Bay Area.”

“Working with Joe and the entire RISE Homes team was truly a dream! They made selling our home such a breeze from start to finish. They handled every detail, both big and small, which took a huge weight off our family's shoulders. Joe and his team genuinely listened to all of our questions, comments, and concerns with care and patience. They always made sure to check in with us throughout every step of the process, keeping us informed and making sure we felt supported along the way. We truly cannot thank Joe and the entire RISE Homes team enough for everything they did for our family. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

“So glad we found Eddie! It is rare that you find someone truly talented at their job. He is an expert and someone you can trust to do their job exceedingly well. He helped us navigate the buying of our new house and selling of our old house. We had a lot of questions. He was available and willing to help whenever we called and was knowledgeable about every step of the process. To top it all off he is a great guy with a ton of energy, professionalism and industry contacts. If you want your house to get sold or to purchase a new house… Call Eddie!!! You won’t regret it!”

“I give Linnette and her team the highest recommendation possible.  If you miss out on working with her, you're making a mistake.  I originally met her when buying my home in North Oakand 10 years ago, and she was excellent.  During Covid, I left the area, and in 2026 I made the decision to sell.  It was a no-brainer to go back to Linnette.  I am across the country, and she managed the entire process with no hassle for me.  Took care of specs, comps, price modeling, recommended renovations, affordable contractor, etc.  She and her team were in great touch throughout.  I trusted her opinions, and she got me a wild number of bids and an incredible purchase price. Everything went off without a hitch. I would definitely work with her again. Thanks, Team Linnette!”

“Working with Angelina to purchase my very first home was an absolute dream! Going into the home buying process for the first time, I was nervous and unsure of what to expect, but Angelina made the entire journey seamless, transparent, and exciting. From day one, she took the time to truly understand what I was looking for, patient with all my questions, and guided me through every single step. From initial viewings all the way to closing day. Her knowledge of the local market, sharp eye for detail during walkthroughs, and strong negotiation skills made all the difference. I always felt completely supported and confident that my best interests were the top priority. Thanks to Angelina, what could have been a stressful process felt manageable and rewarding. I couldn't be happier with my new home! If you are a first-time buyer (or looking to buy or sell at all), I cannot recommend Angelina highly enough.”

“Corey was absolutely outstanding to work with from start to finish. He helped us navigate the sale of a family home during a very difficult and emotional time, and we truly could not have asked for a better realtor. From the beginning, Corey was knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful. He guided us through every step of preparing the home for sale, provided great recommendations and advice, communicated with us consistently, and was always available whenever we had a question or needed help. He went above and beyond throughout the entire process and made what could have been an overwhelming experience much easier for us. Corey’s knowledge of the local market, attention to detail, communication, and professionalism were exceptional. We always felt like he had our best interests in mind, and we had complete confidence in his advice throughout the sale. We are extremely grateful for everything Corey did for us and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you’re looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about his clients and will work hard for you, Corey is someone you can trust. Five stars all around.”

“When I was interested in selling my home, I started reading reviews of realtors. Nick Flageollet reviews were very positive. After speaking with him I found him to be very responsive, if Nick didn’t answer my phone calls he would return my calls soon afterwards. He would provide answers to all my questions During the selling process of my first home a buyers agent asked me how I met Nick, the buyers agent expressed all positive remarks about Nick. Nick was very patient with me due to my delay on getting my homes ready for him to put onto the market. When I was ready to sell Nick immediately went into action. He provided a great marketing strategy and kept me informed during the whole process I was so impressed with Nick’s real estate skills i contacted him for selling my second home that sold in 12 days with an offer more than listing price”

“I have used Matthew for 2 purchases now. He has proven to have a unique ability to navigate challenging deals and use out of the box negotiation methods. We were able buy both houses for well under market and avoid a few preparties that that, in hindsight, would have been bad deals. Matthew has also helped me prepare my rental property for rent for the first time. His expertise for this niche got us over 40 qualified prospective tenants in 72 hours, and helped us decide on a great couple that has been amazing to work with. I have learned that when you talk about real estate, everyone claims to be an expert but few actually are. I can't see my self using any other agent for any future endeavors. - Highly recommend!”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Lolli! Our purchase was an unusually complicated transaction with multiple unexpected hurdles, and we honestly don’t know if we would have made it to the finish line without her. From the complicated title issues to unpredicted appraisal and lending delays, extensions, and a seller who was pushing to terminate the deal, she remained calm, proactive, and incredibly persistent throughout the entire process. She was always one step ahead, communicated clearly, and never made us feel like we were navigating the situation alone. What stood out most was how hard she fought for us. She didn’t just facilitate the transaction—she genuinely advocated for our family and our best interests every step of the way. Even when things became stressful and uncertain, she kept working toward solutions and never gave up. If you are looking for a realtor who will truly go to bat for you, Lolli is your agent!”

“I had such an amazing experience working with Nicole. She truly went above and beyond every step of the way and made the entire process so much easier and less stressful. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely caring. She always made me and my kids feel like a priority and was willing to do whatever it took to help us reach our goals both as a buyer and a seller. Her attention to detail, and commitment was truly exceptional. Beyond being an outstanding real estate agent, I always felt we were in good hands and could trust Nicole completely. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent.”

“Nick was fantastic to work with throughout our home-buying process. He was responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and always made us feel like we had someone in our corner. He helped make what can be a very stressful process feel much more manageable, and we really appreciated how available and thoughtful he was from start to finish. We’re so happy with our new home and would absolutely recommend Nick to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area!”

“Thomas was personable, flexible, timely, and communicative! We met him through Zillow and requested his services outside of his area of focus (we were buying in Marin County, and he usually specializes in San Francisco), but he jumped in to help and established open dialogues with selling agents at homes we were interested in. My husband and I enjoyed working with Thomas and appreciated his transparency and humor. We can’t speak to his negotiation skills as we did not enter into much negotiation, but we did close fast and smoothly (within 14 days) with his help and guidance, as well as the help of a great lender at Wells Fargo and a great title associate at Fidelity National Title. This was our first in-depth home buying experience, so we don’t have much to compare to, but Thomas made this experience possible, effective, and fun.”

“Working with Jason Hoffman was one of the best decisions we made. He helped us sell our condo and guided us through the purchase of our first home in Moorpark, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Jason was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He made what could have been a stressful process feel organized and manageable by keeping us informed every step of the way. We always knew what to expect and felt confident because he was looking out for our best interests. Jason's marketing of our condo was exceptional, and his negotiation skills helped us achieve a great result on both the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home. He was always available to answer our questions, offer honest advice, and make sure every detail was handled. What impressed us most was how much he genuinely cared about us, not just as clients, but as people. We never felt like just another transaction. His dedication, communication, and attention to”

“Marco, Vanessa and their entire team was wonderful from start to finish. We had a unique selling situation (POA for elderly parent) and the team helped guide us through the process. After listing the home in late May 2026, we closed early July 2026 after receiving multiple strong offers. Staging, marketing, technical advice and guidance were all top-notch, and we would not hesitate to recommend Marco and the team. Thanks guys!!!”

“This review is long overdue! We used Nicole to help sell our home in Rohnert Park earlier this year and yall SHE IS A ROCKSTAR!! We sold our home while living out of state and this amazing woman made the process so simple! We have since bought and sold multiple homes and none of those experiences can even come close to the care, communication, and quality that we received with Nicole! She made the complicated process extremely simple, took care of every detail for us since we were out of state, and got us a great offer within a short period of time on the market. She works so hard at her job and you can truly see how much she loves being a realtor! We enjoyed working with Nicole so much that my husband and I often joke that we should buy a home in CA again just to work with her. So take this as your sign. If you are even questioning using Nicole, please do it! You will be so happy you did! Thank you again Nicole for all you did for us!!”

“I had a great experience working with Adriana, not only did she help me buy my first home but we also built a strong relationship in the process. She listened to what I was looking for, and gave me her professional and personal advice when I felt unsure. Adriana was very involved throughout the entire process until closing time and it allowed me to feel more at ease every step of the way! I truly recommend you reach out to Adriana, she makes the experience of buying a home so effortlessly simple as stressful as it can be. I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with her.”

“When my husband and I were looking for a real estate agent in SF, Bianca was one of three agents we "interviewed" to guide us on our home buying journey. She was a clear winner and we are so glad we got to work with her! Bianca is super professional, very easy to communicate with, and has a strong work ethic. She was patient while we toured homes and figured out what we really wanted, was respectful and knowledgeable about our budget restrictions, and had a ton of expertise to share when it came time to put in offers. We are so happy to have closed on our home last month thanks to Bianca's advice and care. Even after closing, she has been supportive and responsive. My recommendation: hire Bianca and then do exactly as she says! You won't regret it. Thanks for everything, Bianca!”

She worked incredibly well with a myriad of inspectors and vendors, while paying strict attention and tracking every detail. And, she’s a lovely person, to boot! I highly recommend working with Denise, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again. Thanks, Denise!!”
