📈 Rising Inventory—Is the Market Shifting in Sonoma County?
“The earth laughs in flowers.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sonoma County is blooming—both in landscape and in market activity.
As spring hits its stride, the real estate market is showing signs of seasonal momentum. Sellers are stepping forward, buyers are reengaging, and the rhythm of spring activity is taking shape across the county.
April’s data reveals key shifts in the Sonoma County market.
➡ The median sales price for single-family homes in April landed at $855K, a slight 0.6% increase from the same time last year.
➡ While the price per square foot dipped 4.6% to $556, homes sold faster—averaging just 45 days on market, down nearly 12% year-over-year.
➡ Total sales held steady, up 0.3%, and inventory rose to 3.0 months—50% higher than last April.
➡ Sellers received an average of 98% of their original list price, signaling a still-competitive environment for well-positioned homes.
This Month’s Takeaway:
Most of the current market activity is in price ranges under $1.5 million and very property and location specific.
Although we are still technically a “seller’s market,” things have leveled out this year due to a rise in inventory. There is now a healthier balance between supply and demand.
The condo market in April, however, showed a cooler pattern.
The median price fell 14.6% year-over-year to $440K, and price per square foot declined by 11.7%. With just 18 condos sold in April (a 37.9% decrease), and inventory climbing to 5.3 months, condo buyers now have more leverage—and more selection—than they’ve seen in recent years.
