Marin County, the wider economic picture

For the bigger picture behind the Marin numbers above, the California Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.) publishes a County Economic Profile for Marin County, jobs, population, affordability, and the county housing market, set against state and national benchmarks. It’s a useful companion to our block-by-block MLS data when you’re weighing a move to buy or sell.

C.A.R. also publishes a statewide Housing Market Forecast each year, projecting where California prices, sales, and mortgage rates are headed.

Source: California Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.), County Economic Profiles & Housing Market Forecast, car.org. County Economic Profiles are updated annually each March using prior-year data. C.A.R. median-price figures reflect existing single-family detached homes surveyed across 90+ REALTOR® associations statewide and are not seasonally adjusted; medians can shift with the mix of homes sold and should not be read as the change in value of any specific home. These reports are provided by C.A.R. for members to share with their clients. Figures are independent of, and may differ from, Bela Realty’s MLS-based data shown elsewhere on this site; verify any figure before relying on it.
