The Sonoma County housing market is showing signs of renewed activity heading into the spring season, with demand picking up even as inventory remains tight and pricing holds steady. While homes are taking longer to sell and bidding wars have cooled, the overall market is functioning in a more balanced and sustainable way.

The most notable shift year over year is the increase in buyer engagement against a backdrop of declining supply. The number of homes going into contract rose 11.9% and closed sales increased 1.8%, even as inventory dropped 14.2%. In other words, more buyers are competing for fewer homes, reinforcing the supply-demand imbalance that continues to support pricing.

Pricing remains highly resilient. The median sales price held essentially flat at $849,000, down just 0.1%, while price per square foot increased 0.8% to $502. Sellers are still achieving strong results, receiving 99.4% of their list price on average.

Altogether, Sonoma County is entering the spring season from a position of strength. Demand is building, supply remains constrained, and values are holding steady.
