Why the rate lands here
San Rafael's market is running warm — steady buyer demand makes a well-priced listing easier to sell.
Price level matters too: at San Rafael's typical home value, an agent's
dollar payout at a given percentage differs a lot from the national
picture, and a fair percentage moves accordingly. We start from the
typical post-settlement listing-side rate and adjust for local prices,
market heat, and how much work a typical sale here takes.
This range is for a typical San Rafael home. Your home isn't typical —
its condition, your target price, and your exact zip all move the
number, which is what the calculator is for.
