“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.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Home values in Central San Rafael have been climbing in this rolling three-month view, with the typical home value up about 11% year over year to roughly $1.41 million. List prices have been steadier, edging down slightly from a year ago, which suggests sellers are pricing carefully even as closed sale prices rise.
Inventory has thinned compared with last year, with active listings down and only about 2.3 months of supply available. Homes are selling a bit faster than a year ago, spending a median of 27 days on the market. More than half of recent sales closed above the asking price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 103%, signaling strong buyer interest.
Buyer activity has intensified, with homes sold up more than 50% year over year and pending sales higher as well in this three-month period. Compared with the broader San Rafael market, Central San Rafael’s typical sale price sits above the citywide figure, reinforcing its position as a relatively higher-priced pocket. At the same time, months of supply is closely in line with the city overall, underscoring ongoing seller leverage. In a setting where both prices and bidding strength are moving upward, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent who understands these dynamics.

“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!”
“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”
