🎄 Holiday Fun + Changes to the Sonoma County Market
“Times, they are a-changin’.” – Bob Dylan
This sentiment rings true as we navigate the twists and turns of Sonoma County’s real estate market. November’s data paints a picture of both opportunities and challenges, prompting buyers and sellers alike to reassess their strategies heading into the new year.
With that in mind, let’s look at what’s happening locally…
➡ For single-family homes, the median sold price stood at $810K, a slight month-over-month decline of 0.9% but up 2.3% from last year. Properties sold at an average of $552 per square foot, marking a modest 1.1% increase year-over-year.
➡ With an average of 63 days on the market, homes are taking slightly longer to sell compared to previous months, reflecting seasonal trends.
➡ Inventory levels rose to 2.6 months, remaining steady year-over-year, but signaling a slower sales pace.
The condominium market showed resilience with a median sold price of $440K, up 6% month-over-month and 1.1% year-over-year. However, the pace of sales slowed, with 29 properties sold—a significant 52.6% increase from last year, despite a 12.1% month-over-month decline.
Condos averaged 61 days on the market, consistent with October but up from last year, while inventory remained relatively low at 1.9 months.
