The median home in the city of Marina was built in 1981, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and newer than the California median of 1976. That is newer than the Monterey County median of 1976.1 About 47% of Marina's housing units were built before 1980, close to the national share, and 12% since 2010. The largest single share, 38%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it an older stock than Monterey County as a whole (58% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the routine checks are aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines and original single-pane windows. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Marina are of similar age: median build years 1981 and 1982.1

Marina has a mixed housing stock: 52% detached houses, 7% attached or townhouse units and 24% in buildings of five or more units.1 Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Marina, with 43% of occupied homes owner-occupied, below the California share of 56%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Marina is valued at $818,700 (ACS), above the California median of $734,700. Within Monterey County the median is $781,000, so Marina sits close to it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.

Freezing nights are rare: the nearest NOAA station (Monterey Peninsul Ap) averages 1.5 nights a year at or below 32°F.2,3 With few freezing nights, water and sun rather than ice are what exterior details are built against. Hot days are uncommon: about 2 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is low, about 16 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.

Heating dominates the year: about 2,876 heating degree days against 76 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope. Marina is about 1 miles from the ocean or Gulf coast in a straight line.4,5 Proximity to salt air makes fastener grade and corrosion protection part of every exterior quote.

Marina sits in IECC climate zone 3C (Marine).6 Building permits in Marina are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
