Pricing & Value Trends

In August, 381 residential properties closed, with a median sale price of $775,000. September recorded 366 closed sales with a median price of $815,000, representing an increase of approximately 5.2% in the median sale price from the previous month.

The average sale price remained almost unchanged, moving from approximately $1,034,150 in August to $1,035,711 in September.

Price-per-square-foot figures were also very consistent. September's median closed price per square foot was $498.76, compared with $499.17 in August, showing virtually no month-to-month change.

September sales ranged widely from $90,000 to $6.7 million, continuing to demonstrate the diversity of Sonoma County's residential real estate market—from entry-level and smaller properties to multimillion-dollar luxury homes.

Time on Market Insights

Marketing times increased slightly during September, with a median of 42 days on market, compared with 40 days in August. Average days on market increased from 59 days in August to 61 days in September.

Of the 366 September closed sales:

151 homes sold within 0–30 days

78 homes sold within 31–60 days

55 homes sold within 61–90 days

34 homes sold within 91–120 days

48 homes took more than 120 days to sell

Approximately 63% of all September closings sold within the first 60 days, demonstrating that properly positioned homes are still attracting buyers relatively quickly.

Only about 13% of closed properties remained on the market for more than 120 days.

Pricing strategy also made a noticeable difference. Homes selling within the first 30 days closed at an average of approximately 102.8% of their original asking price, while properties taking more than 120 days averaged approximately 85.5% of their original asking price.

That is a significant difference and reinforces the importance of accurate initial pricing, property preparation, presentation, and effective marketing.

Market Snapshot Takeaway

September showed a relatively stable Sonoma County housing market.

Although the number of closed sales declined slightly from 381 in August to 366 in September, the median sale price increased to $815,000, while the average sale price remained above $1 million.

For sellers, September's statistics demonstrate that buyers are still willing to compete for desirable, appropriately priced homes. Properties that sold within 30 days actually averaged more than their original asking price, while homes sitting for extended periods experienced substantially greater price reductions.

For buyers, the market continues to offer opportunities across a wide range of price points. Properties that have remained available for longer periods may provide additional negotiating leverage, while newly listed and competitively priced homes can still move quickly.

Whether you're considering buying, selling, or simply want to know what homes are actually selling for in your area, staying informed with the latest closed-sale data can help you make more confident real estate decisions.
