What Sellers Should Know
Well-maintained homes in San Anselmo—especially those with updated kitchens, functional floor plans, and appealing outdoor spaces—are still drawing strong buyer interest. Properties within walking distance to downtown or close to award-winning schools tend to see the most attention.
While the market is more balanced compared to the competitive peaks of recent years, homes that are priced strategically and presented beautifully often sell quickly and at strong prices. Professional staging, high-quality photography, and a thoughtful marketing strategy remain essential.
Seasonal timing can help maximize results. Listing in periods of higher buyer activity, such as early spring or late summer, often positions sellers ahead of the competition. A detailed property valuation will clarify how your home fits into today’s market landscape.
