Back on the Field!
Not everyone knows this, but football has been a big part of my life. I played Collage Football at Utah State University. It’s been a long time since those days, but this fall I’ve found myself back on the field, this time as an assistant coach for my son’s team, the Petaluma Panthers 14U.

Football has always been more than just a game to me. It’s a sport that teaches resilience, leadership, teamwork, and how to push through challenges, lessons that stick with you long after the final whistle. Getting the chance to help pass those values on to the kids has been incredibly rewarding (and a lot of fun).

We’ve started the season strong at 2-0, and I’ll keep you posted as the season rolls on!

Sonoma County Market Update, Week of Sept 8–15, 2025

Market Pulse

This week’s numbers highlight a stable but price-sensitive market. With 62 homes closing, the pace is consistent with early September, and homes are selling closer to ask when priced right out of the gate. Nearly half of closings happened within the first 30 days on market, and those sellers achieved, on average, above asking prices (101%).

On the flip side, properties that lingered past 60–90 days required more significant concessions, closing closer to 88–95% of list price. This shows a clear split: buyers are quick to compete for well-priced inventory, while overpriced homes face markdowns and longer DOM.

Takeaways

Buyers: The mid-range ($700K–$1.1M) remains competitive, expect multiple offers if you’re shopping in this band. Patience may pay off at the higher end, where longer DOM is leading to price reductions.

Sellers: Correct pricing is crucial. The data is clear, homes that launch at the right price sell quickly and often above asking, while overpricing leads to weeks on market and eventual markdowns.

Investors: 3–4 bedroom homes remain the most liquid product in Sonoma County, balancing price stability with strong absorption.

Bottom Line: The Sonoma County market is steady, with fast-moving sales at or above asking for well-priced homes and longer DOM forcing concessions for overpriced inventory. With mortgage rates still near 2025 lows and a likely Fed rate cut on the horizon, expect more buyers to re-engage this fall.

End-of-Summer Client Appreciation, Potluck & Concert 🎶
Wrapping Up Summer—Petaluma Style!

We closed out summer in true Petaluma Potluck fashion, surrounded by clients, friends, and plenty of “Cool Block” neighbors. On a sunny Sunday afternoon, we gathered for an unforgettable outdoor concert featuring the soulful sounds of Misner & Smith, a folk duo whose hip, harmony-rich melodies created a beautiful sense of connection and community.

From delicious homemade dishes to heartfelt conversations and toe-tapping tunes, the day was a celebration of everything we love about living and working here.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, we’re grateful for your ongoing support, friendship, and trust. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
