Healdsburg Housing Market in July 2025: Why Buyers Have the Upper Hand 

Healdsburg continues to stand out in Northern California’s wine country, not just for its charm and lifestyle, but also for its dynamic real estate scene. If you’re wondering how the Healdsburg housing market is shaping up this July 2025, we’ve got you covered with the latest trends, price shifts, and insights to help guide your decisions.

July 2025 Healdsburg Housing Market Snapshot

Based on Realtors Property Resource (RPR), here’s a quick look at the latest numbers for the Healdsburg housing market in July 2025:

• Median Home Value: $1,019,830
• Median Sold Price: $1,375,000 (a notable 26% jump from last month)
• Median Price per Sq Ft: $824 (7% down from June)
• Median Days on Market: 30
• Active Listings: 107
• Sold Listings in June: 13 (up from an average of 9 in summer 2024)
• Months of Inventory: 8.23

These figures paint a clear picture: inventory is high, prices are fluctuating, and buyers currently have more leverage at the negotiating table than in recent years.

A Market Favoring Buyers

With over 8 months of inventory, the Healdsburg housing market has officially tipped into buyer’s market territory. This means more homes are available than there are active buyers, giving you, the buyer, more leverage. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to upgrade, this could be the right time to explore options and ask for concessions such as repairs, price reductions, or closing credits.

That said, homes are still selling for about 99% of their asking price, which tells us that sellers aren’t slashing prices dramatically. If a home is well-priced and move-in ready, you’ll still need to make a competitive offer.

Inventory Trends: A Market in Transition

While the short-term inventory has dipped slightly (down 12% from last month), the long-term trend shows a 41% increase in inventory year-over-year. In other words, the market is still adjusting and stabilizing after a period of low supply. Keep an eye on these trends if you’re planning to buy later this year; it could mean more options and softer pricing down the line.

The rest of 2025 is expected to maintain the current balance. Rising inventory is giving buyers more breathing room, but demand, especially in key lifestyle markets like Healdsburg, is still present. 

Sub-$2 Million vs. Luxury Homes

• Sub $2 Million: Most of the activity in the Healdsburg housing market in July 2025 is happening under the $2 million mark. Buyers in this range have more choices and more room to negotiate, thanks to the increase in available inventory and more cautious price appreciation.
• Above $2 million: On the other hand, the luxury segment is seeing slower movement. These homes are spending more days on the market and may require price adjustments to attract serious buyers. If you’re shopping in the higher-end range, this could be a great moment to find motivated sellers or underpriced gems that didn’t move earlier in the year.

Whether you’re buying a home near downtown Healdsburg or a vineyard estate in the Russian River Valley, Dry Creek Valley, or Alexander Valley, knowing which segment you’re shopping in will shape your strategy.

Prices Are Rising, But So Is Opportunity

The median sold price of $1,375,000 might feel steep, especially with Healdsburg’s luxury appeal, but it’s important to view it in context. This price represents a 26% increase over the previous month, indicating that competition remains alive in certain segments, particularly in desirable neighborhoods or newly remodeled homes.

At the same time, the price per square foot has dropped by 7%, which may indicate some flexibility in pricing strategies and more space for your dollar, especially if you’re a savvy negotiator.

What This Means for Sellers

If you’re thinking about listing your home, this market requires the right strategy. With more homes available and buyers having more options, sellers must be competitive on both price and presentation.

The good news? Homes are still selling for 99% of the asking price, but only if they’re priced right from the start. Overpricing in this market could lead to longer days on the market, price reductions, and lost momentum.

Sellers in the sub-$2 million range may still see decent demand, especially if the home is turnkey and in a good location. Those in the luxury tier need to be strategic, partner with an agent who knows how to market high-end properties, leverage digital storytelling, and attract qualified buyers both locally and globally.
