Marina Real Estate Market Update: September 2026

September brought an interesting mix of results to the Marina real estate market. Compared with September 2025, condo sales were down, while the median sale price and price per square foot were notably higher. Single-family homes also posted higher median prices, with five homes selling compared with four the year before.

For Marina condominiums, five units sold in September 2026, compared with nine in September 2025. That's a 44% decrease in the number of sales, but the smaller number of transactions doesn't necessarily mean demand has disappeared. In fact, the median sales price jumped to $2.6 million, up from $1.62 million last September, while the median price per square foot increased from $1,151 to $1,901.96. Condos that did sell also moved considerably faster, with a median of just 8 days on market, compared with 25 days last year.

That combination is worth paying attention to. Fewer condos sold, but the properties that did sell commanded significantly higher prices and moved quickly. In a neighborhood like the Marina, where location, condition, size and parking can create substantial differences from one property to another, median numbers can be influenced by the particular homes that sold during the month. So I wouldn't look at the 60% increase in median price and assume every Marina condo is suddenly worth 60% more. The more useful takeaway is that well-positioned properties continue to attract buyers.

The single-family home market tells a similarly strong story, although with a slightly different dynamic. Five Marina single-family homes sold in September 2026, compared with four in September 2025. The median sales price rose from $4.35 million to $5.8 million, a 33% increase, while the median price per square foot climbed nearly 40%, from $1,707 to $2,390.44. Median days on market remained exactly the same at 11 days.

What does this mean if you're thinking about buying or selling in the Marina? For buyers, it reinforces that good homes can move quickly, and waiting for the "perfect" market may mean competing for fewer quality options when they do come along. For sellers, these numbers are encouraging, but they also make one thing clear: pricing still matters. A strong market doesn't mean every property will command the same premium. Buyers are sophisticated, and condition, presentation, location and price all play a role in how a home performs.

The Marina market in one sentence

September's numbers point to a market where quality inventory remains valuable, well-priced homes can move quickly, and the headline numbers need a little context before telling the whole story.

As always, monthly statistics are a snapshot rather than a prediction. If you're curious about what these numbers mean for your particular Marina home, I'd be happy to take a closer look at recent comparable sales and give you a more personalized picture of today's market.
