SEBASTOPOL MARKET UPDATE

The Sebastopol real estate market is experiencing significant growth with the median sale price rising 17% year-over-year to $1,100,000. This substantial appreciation reflects the enduring appeal of Sebastopol's unique blend of rural charm, artisanal culture, and proximity to both coast and wine country.

While homes sold have decreased by 16% to 27 properties and days on market have increased by 19% to 32 days, these metrics suggest a shift toward a more measured pace rather than a weakening market. The price appreciation indicates that demand remains robust, particularly for distinctive properties.

Sebastopol's appeal to buyers seeking a blend of countryside living with access to amenities continues to drive its market performance. The community's emphasis on sustainability, organic farming, and artistic heritage creates a distinctive market segment within Sonoma County.

The sales-to-list price ratio remains strong at 99.6% (down just 0.4% from last year), indicating that appropriately priced properties continue to command near-asking prices despite the longer selling timeframes and reduced transaction volume.
