Sonoma County’s real estate market is showing signs of increased activity as we move into 2025. January saw a significant rise in available homes for sale, up 42% compared to last year. However, new listings are down. Buyer activity is on the rise, with more deals being made.
The overall market is still favoring sellers, though some submarkets are showing different trends. Sonoma Valley & Healdsburg are seeing a buyer’s market, while Petaluma remains firmly in seller’s territory.
Experts predict 2025 could see an increase in both listings and closed transactions, potentially shaking off the flat sales experienced in the past two years. Overall, the Sonoma County market is expected to remain a seller’s market for the foreseeable future.
