At Home With Anjanette

If you’ve been wondering whether now is a good time to buy or sell in Northern California — the data tells an interesting story this month.

What the Numbers Show

According to the latest BAREIS MLS data for Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma Counties combined:

Inventory is rising — active listings jumped 21% from February to March. More homes on the market means more choices for buyers.

But buyers are active too — pending sales surged 36.6% month over month, and closed sales were up 18.9%. Homes are moving.

Year over year closed sales are up 6.2% compared to March 2025 — a sign of a market that continues to move forward despite higher interest rates.

What This Means for You

If you’re a seller — inventory is rising which means competition is increasing. Pricing your home correctly and marketing it well matters more than ever.

If you’re a buyer — more inventory means more options. And with strong pending numbers, well priced homes are still moving quickly. Being prepared with a pre-approval and a clear plan is essential.

The Bottom Line

The Northern California market remains active and opportunities exist on both sides of the transaction. The key is working with someone who knows the data and can help you navigate it strategically.
