Sonoma County: The Big Picture
Sonoma County's countywide numbers set the tone for everything else this summer.
The median listing price landed at $995K, up 1% year over year, while the median sales price came in at $877K, up 3%. Active listings dropped 17% to 1,334, and days on market fell 25% to 42, a sign that well-priced homes are moving faster than they were last summer. Pending sales held essentially flat, but sold listings dipped 5% to 362.
Takeaway: Inventory is tightening and homes are selling faster. If you've been waiting for less competition, that window may be closing. If you're a seller, this is a good moment to have a real conversation about pricing strategy.

What This Means for You
A few patterns stand out across almost every market this month:
Inventory is shrinking almost everywhere. From Rohnert Park's 45% drop to Petaluma's 33% decline, active listings are tightening across the North Bay. That means less competition among sellers and more competition among buyers.
Homes are selling faster. Days on market fell in the majority of markets we track, some dramatically. Cloverdale, Petaluma, and Rohnert Park all saw drops of 18% or more.
Pending sales are climbing in many areas. This is the leading indicator worth watching. What's going into escrow this month becomes next month's closed sales, and the direction points toward continued buyer activity through late summer.
