As summer starts to wind down, the California housing market continues to settle into a more balanced pace.
Across many regions, fewer homes are coming to market, while prices remain relatively steady and buyers have a bit more room to explore their options. At the same time, well-priced homes continue to attract attention, and local conditions can vary quite a bit from one market to the next. Here's a look at how those trends played out in your local market this month.
Sonoma County’s market softened month-over-month, with home sales down 6.2% to 364 and inventory down 2.6% to 910 listings. Days on market increased to 53, while the median sales price fell 4.6% to $835,000—down 1.2% year-over-year. The condo market saw a sharper decline in sales, down 25.8% to 23, with the median price at $420,000, down 18.9% year-over-year.
