What This Means
Sonoma's housing market is showing some interesting spring momentum, though with a few cautionary notes. Sales volume jumped 20.7% month-over-month to 35 homes, suggesting buyers are finally emerging from winter hibernation. That's the good news. The less encouraging part? The median price dropped 10.3% to $780,000, which indicates we're seeing more activity at the lower end of the market rather than across the board. The sale-to-list ratio of 98.4% suggests homes are still selling close to asking, so it's not a buyer's market yet, but the inventory sitting at 178 active listings is starting to pile up.
The real story here is patience. Homes are taking 85 days to sell, which is down from 96 days last month but still longer than the quick turnovers we saw a few years ago. This is normal for spring in Sonoma, though it suggests sellers can't expect bidding wars. Year-over-year, we're essentially flat on price while down 12.5% on sales volume, meaning the market hasn't really accelerated compared to March 2025. If you're selling, price realistically and prepare for a longer holding period. If you're buying, you have time to look carefully, but don't expect significant discounts.
