1. What is the Healdsburg Housing Market like in November 2025?
In November 2025, the Healdsburg housing market continues to show a mix of dynamic movement and some cooling signals, depending on the segment. Here are the key metrics:
- Median sold price: $850,900 (7% less than October).
- Estimated median home value: $1,010,050, +6% from last month and projected to increase in the coming months.
- Months of inventory: 5.33, approx. -15% vs. October (meaning fewer months of supply).
- Days on market: 47, which indicates homes are selling about 12% faster than in October.
- Active listings: 80, a 13% drop month-over-month, showing tighter inventory, favourable for sellers.
- Median price per square foot: $864, essentially flat from last month.
The market is still moving, but the pace is uneven. Inventory is tight, which gives sellers some advantage. Meanwhile, the value metric is trending up (from the estimated value side) even though the median sold price dipped slightly month-to-month. So it’s a good moment to be alert if you’re considering action.
2. Healdsburg Home Prices by Segment
Homes Under $1M are Selling Fast
The under-$1 million segment in the Healdsburg housing market is the standout. Demand is strong and inventory is tight.
- Sales have jumped (year-over-year) by roughly 83%.
- New listings have dropped by more than half.
- Absorption rate has nearly doubled from ~28% to 51%.
- Days on market in this segment average ~71 days, about 10 days faster than the general local average.
- Sellers in this range are seeing better alignment between their original asking price and final sale price (improved by ~1.1% over last year).
If you’re a first-time buyer or investor, this is your competitive zone. Being pre-qualified, ready to move quickly, and selective about condition and pricing will matter. The upside: pricing seems more rational than at the very high end, so you may avoid overly inflated expectations.

The luxury Market Over $2M is Getting Harder
The luxury segment of the Healdsburg housing market is more nuanced.
- Closings dropped 10%.
Absorption rate slipped slightly (to 5.6%), meaning only around 1 in 17 homes in this price category sells each month. - Yet pending sales surged (140%), though the actual number of contracts remains small (so treat with caution).
- Average days on market improved dramatically (31%), down to 61 days, faster than the mid-tier segment.
- The sold-to-original list price gap widened (4.4%), the largest drop across all segments.
If you’re looking at high-end Healdsburg real estate, patience and smart positioning are key. There’s selection (favouring buyers), but the faster days-on-market for the right properties suggest that well-priced, desirable homes still find buyers. Sellers should price competitively, present well, and understand negotiation dynamics.

4. Recommendations for buyers and sellers
For Buyers
If you’re buying in the Healdsburg housing market under $1M, act decisively. Inventory is low, competition is high, and homes are selling faster. Thus, have your financing lined up and be ready to move quickly if you find the right place.
For the $1M to $2M range, you have a little more breathing room. This is a good time to be selective, giving you the time to look for homes in good condition, with minimal required updates, well-priced from the start. Since homes are staying longer on the market, 89 days, you may have more negotiating power.
In the luxury market over-$2M tier, take your time to evaluate the property’s condition, market positioning, and comparable sales. If it’s turnkey and properly priced, you may benefit from less competition and motivated sellers.
For Sellers
In the current Healdsburg housing market, sellers in the under $1M tier are in a strong position, but you still need to price smart and move quickly. Homes that come to market in good condition and are priced realistically do best.
If you’re selling in the $1 M–$2 M range, you still have strong demand. However, buyers are more discerning, so make sure the home shows well, has up-to-date systems, and is priced competitively from day one.
For luxury sellers (over $2 M), because inventory is more abundant and buyers are more selective, presentation and pricing are critical. Emphasize the property’s unique value, features, and readiness to attract today’s premium buyers.
