Pacific Union San Rafael, CA Real Estate Update (January 2013 Real Estate Report)
Pacific Union San Rafael, CA Real Estate Update (January 2013 Real Estate Report). San Rafael, CA’s December 2012 home sales maintained very strong momentum with 44 sales (this was 1 more than October). Just like the rest of Marin County, the inventory level of homes for sale in San Rafael remains extremely low. I have little doubt that sales figures would be significantly higher if there were more homes available for purchase. At this point, San Rafael’s absorption rate is at the lowest point in memory with just under 1 month’s worth of homes — e.g., there is enough inventory for just under month’s worth of sales. For now, it appears most sellers are holding out for higher prices in 2013 — a strategy that may or may not make sense depending on the ultimate objective of the sellers and the state of the market in coming months. By the time the primary selling season rolls around in April, I anticipate much higher levels of inventory. It will be interesting to see what impact, if any, this anticipated higher supply has on pricing.
Averages relating to San Rafael home sales in December 2012 are as follows:
- days on market — 100
- sales price — $787K
- home size was 2,083 square feet
- $391 per sq. ft.
