Our local market continues to outpace the sluggish national real estate market. Across Sonoma County overall, inventory remained relatively tight while buyer demand stayed active, particularly in lifestyle-driven communities with limited housing supply. The spring market showed continued segmentation between entry-level and luxury markets, with higher-priced areas experiencing longer marketing times but still maintaining strong overall pricing.

  • Healdsburg remained one of Sonoma County’s strongest luxury markets, posting a $2.00M median listing price and $1.36M median sales price, though homes took longer to sell at an average of 71 days on market.
  • Petaluma stood out for market velocity, averaging just 25 days on market while maintaining strong pricing near the $1M threshold.
  • Santa Rosa remained the county’s volume leader with more than 400 active listings and 132 sold properties, reflecting the broadest range of inventory and buyer activity in Sonoma County.
