May brought more inventory across Sonoma County, giving buyers more choices while slowing the pace of the market. Windsor, Healdsburg, and Cloverdale all saw fewer sales and longer days on market, but countywide home values remained remarkably resilient with the median sales price rising to $885,000. The market is feeling more balanced than competitive—a welcome shift for both buyers and sellers.

🍷 Downtown Healdsburg or Country Living?

If you're considering a move to Healdsburg, this may be the biggest decision you'll make.

Downtown offers:
✔ Walkability
✔ Restaurants
✔ Wine tasting rooms
✔ Community events

The countryside offers:
✔ Vineyard views
✔ More privacy
✔ Acreage
✔ Room to spread out

Both offer incredible Wine Country lifestyles—but they're very different experiences.

I compare the area's top neighborhoods in my newest blog post.
