📍 Office: 385 Bel Marin Keys Blvd, Novato, CA
The Bel Marin Keys market is heating up just in time for summer. After a slower 2024 in terms of inventory, it’s refreshing to see more opportunities hitting the market—especially in one of Marin’s most unique waterfront communities. Whether you’re looking to make a move or just love staying in the loop, here’s what’s happening in Bel Marin Keys right now.
🌊 Waterfront Homes: Steady Demand for the Lifestyle
Waterfront properties remain in high demand—especially those with modern updates, private docks, and sunset views. A few standout closings from the past couple months include:
- 1015 Bel Marin Keys Blvd closed at $2,100,000 in just 14 days. This well-presented, move-in-ready home shows that quality homes with direct lagoon access continue to command top dollar.
- 86 Del Oro Lagoon N (buyers represented by me) closed at $1,925,000, $55,000 below the list price. With strong negotiation and local insight, we were able to secure a beautiful waterfront retreat at a great value.
- 1086 Bel Marin Keys Blvd, a larger fixer, closed at $1,400,000—proving that even homes in original condition are selling if they’re on the water.
Several waterfront homes are currently pending, including:
- 312 Montego Key – Listed at $1,695,000
- 151 Del Oro Lagoon – Listed at $1,790,000
- 1097 Bel Marin Keys Blvd – Listed at $2,195,000
Price per square foot on the water is ranging widely, from the low $500s for fixers to over $1,100 for fully renovated, dialed-in homes.
🌴 Off-Water Homes: Great Value and Lifestyle Perks
Not every home in Bel Marin Keys is on the water—and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The two listings below are part of Keys Landing, meaning they back to an awesome private 5 Acre park with 2 docks and lovely walking trails. Off-water homes offer these larger yards, access to parks, and often sit at a more approachable price point:
- 1153 Bel Marin Keys Blvd – Offered at $1,454,000, this home features a spacious layout, vaulted ceilings, and backs to a lush HOA-maintained park.
- 8 Calypso Shores – Listed at $1,450,000, it boasts stylish updates, RV/boat parking, and proximity to three different waterways for paddleboarding and kayaking.
These homes are ideal for buyers who want the Keys lifestyle—community amenities, trails, water access—without the premium of direct waterfront.
💡 What This Means for Buyers & Sellers
- Sellers: Homes on the water are still in high demand—especially when staged and priced correctly. Off-water homes are also getting attention when the unique lifestyle benefits are highlighted.
- Buyers: If you’ve been waiting for more options to hit the market, this is your chance. With more inventory available than we saw in 2024, it’s a great time to explore before competition ramps up.
☀️ Timing Is Everything
Bel Marin Keys truly shines in the spring and summer months. Whether you’re boating, paddleboarding, or just relaxing on the deck at sunset, this is the season where life on the water comes alive.
If you’re considering buying or selling in the neighborhood, I’d love to be your resource. I’ve sold more homes in Bel Marin Keys than any other agent in recent years and know the ins and outs of every lagoon, trail, and community pocket.
