Sonoma County Real Estate Market Snapshot – December 2025
If you’ve been watching the Sonoma County housing market and wondering whether things are finally slowing down or quietly picking up, December offered some clear signals.
Let’s break it down!
What Happened in December?
Median Sales Price: $835,500
That’s a slight dip of 1.7% compared to last December. This isn’t a market correction, it’s more of a seasonal pause we typically see at the end of the year.
Homes Sold: 266
Sales jumped nearly 18% year over year, which tells us one important thing: buyers are still moving forward when the right home shows up.
Inventory: 869 active listings
Inventory is down almost 3%, which means buyers still have choices, but good homes are not sitting around forever.
Months of Supply: 2.5 months
This keeps Sonoma County firmly in seller-favorable territory. Anything under 4 months generally signals competition.
Average Days on Market: 81 days
Homes are taking a bit longer to sell, which gives buyers room to negotiate, especially on homes that aren’t priced correctly.
Sale-to-List Price Ratio: 98%
Most homes are still selling close to asking price, another sign that pricing strategy matters more than ever.
What This Means If You’re Buying
You don’t need to rush, but you do need to be ready. Well-priced homes in good locations are still getting attention. The advantage right now is leverage: inspections, credits, and price conversations are very much back on the table.
What This Means If You’re Selling
Buyers are active, but they’re picky. Homes that are clean, staged, and priced strategically are selling. Homes that miss the mark are sitting. Preparation is the difference.
The Bottom Line: Sonoma County is currently a "breather" market. You have the time to do your due diligence and find a home that actually fits your lifestyle without the frantic bidding wars.
