Sonoma County · Market guide
Sonoma County housing market.
The latest available BAREIS county snapshot shows what sold, how long the median sale took and how new listing activity compared with closings. It is a decision aid, not a forecast or an automatic valuation.
Residential snapshot · July 2026
The latest county snapshot.
Countywide BAREIS residential data includes single-family homes, condominiums, mobile homes and floating homes; land, farms, ranches and income property are reported separately. It will not tell you what one particular property is worth.
Seller reading
For sellers.
Residential property sold at a $794,000 median, essentially level with the $793,500 median list price. That supports a seller opportunity, but only when condition, presentation and price meet a selective market.
Buyer reading
For buyers.
A 37-day median and more new residential listings than closings create room to compare homes and investigate condition. That said, it is selective rather than uniform.
Reading the numbers
County, submarket, property.
County
Use the monthly county snapshot to understand broad demand, pace and price context.
Submarket
Compare the relevant city, town, property type and price band. Countywide medians can conceal opposite local patterns.
Property
Reconcile condition, site, permits, systems, presentation, timing and the most relevant comparable sales before choosing a strategy.
