🍁 Homes, Architecture & Autumn in Sonoma County
As we move into fall, California’s real estate market is holding steady.
While there are fewer new listings and sales, overall inventory has grown and prices have stayed stable, giving buyers more choices and sellers a chance to shine. Homes are spending a bit more time on the market, which can be a good thing for both buyers and sellers to make thoughtful decisions.
As we transition from summer to fall, it’s a great time to check in and see what’s happening locally. Here’s a look at the August 2025 numbers…
➡ Home sales decreased 6.7% to 364 from the prior month.
➡ The number of available listings decreased 6.6% to 1054.
➡ The median sales price decreased 0.9% from the prior month. However, increased 2.2% from the prior year to $837,000.
➡ Days on market increased 7.3% to 59 days.
As the price gap between what sellers want and what buyers feel is fair widens, buyers are showing more patience, inspecting quality, location and condition carefully before making offers.
However, Sonoma County’s quality of life, natural beauty and mild climate continue to draw interest, helping keep our market steady.

A Field Guide to Home Architecture
American residential architecture is a rich tapestry woven from centuries of cultural influence, regional adaptation, and ever-changing lifestyles. More than mere aesthetic expression, each home style is a tactile reflection of identity, innovation, and the rhythms of daily life.
For homebuyers, basic architectural fluency helps shed light not just on how a home looks, but how it lives, helping you gain insight into its layout, flow, and long-term practicality before ever setting foot through the door.
For homeowners, it’s knowledge that provides deeper connection to personal space and a thoughtful framework to inform potential renovations. And for enthusiasts, it’s a way to read the built environment as a living archive — one that captures a balance of artistry, aspiration, and regional character.
