We are grateful for a productive year despite market shifts and broader global uncertainty. In 2025, we represented the sale of exceptional homes, including several at record-setting prices, and uncovered a significant number of off-market opportunities for our buyers. In total, these efforts represented approximately $150 million in closed sales.
We continue to invest in resources that help our sellers prepare their homes for market and present them at the highest level. At the same time, we have strengthened our professional networks to ensure our relationships consistently provide an advantage in negotiations, whether representing buyers or sellers.
Looking ahead to 2026, the outlook is encouraging. With a growing local economy, moderating inflation, and a healthy pipeline of buyers, the foundation is in place for renewed momentum. Interest rates are trending lower, inventory remains balanced, and the Bay Area continues to attract high-income households seeking lifestyle amenities and proximity to San Francisco. Overall, the year-end data suggests that the market is well-positioned for continued strength in the year ahead.
