Market report
This report covers the two markets I work most: Novato in Marin County and Petaluma in Sonoma County. It pulls from public market sources and is updated by me, a local, not by an algorithm that has never driven the 101.

What it means for you
After years of appreciation, North Bay pricing has leveled off in 2025 and 2026, with more days on market and more room for well-prepared buyers.
List prices and sale prices are converging. Homes priced honestly from the start are selling on normal timelines; late-priced homes sit.
Less inventory overall keeps good homes competitive. The buyers winning today are pre-approved, decisive, and working with someone local.
