SONOMA COUNTY MARKET UPDATE

The Sonoma County real estate market offers a diverse array of properties that blend wine country charm with a more relaxed atmosphere than neighboring Napa. From the historic Sonoma Plaza to the coastal communities of Bodega Bay and the Russian River Valley, Sonoma County provides varied lifestyle options that continue to attract both primary residents and second-home buyers.

Our Q2 2025 market analysis shows Sonoma County maintaining steady property values with a 4.2% year-over-year increase in median home prices to $875,000. This moderate growth reflects a healthy, sustainable market that has normalized following the dramatic post-pandemic price surges of 2021-2022.

Inventory levels have increased dramatically by 68.2% compared to last year, reaching 892 active listings. This expanded selection has led to a more balanced market environment with properties spending a median of 35 days on market, an increase of 6.1% from the previous year.

The luxury segment continues to show strength, particularly in areas like Healdsburg and Sonoma, while mid-range properties maintain steady demand. With months of inventory at 3.5, buyers enjoy greater selection and negotiating power, though well-priced properties in desirable locations continue to command competitive interest.
