Healdsburg is not just known for its vibrant wine country, but also for its dynamic real estate market. July 2024 has proven to be a particularly active month, with market trends that offer valuable insights for both buyers and sellers. The data and metrics discussed here are based on a comprehensive analysis by Realtors Property Resource (RPR).
A Closer Look at Healdsburg Market Trends
In July, Healdsburg’s real estate market saw a 5.32-month supply of inventory, reflecting a balanced market where neither buyers nor sellers have a distinct advantage. This inventory level indicates a healthy flow of homes for sale, giving buyers enough options to find the perfect property while allowing sellers to command fair prices.
The median sold price in Healdsburg stood at $1,170,000. This figure, coupled with a 6.19% increase in home prices over the past year, underscores the area’s growing appeal. Sellers are benefiting from this upward trend, achieving significant returns on their investments. For instance, a property listed for $1.1 million in June sold for $1.17 million in July, demonstrating the impact of the rising market.

Competition Among Buyers
The competitive nature of the market is evident in the List to Sold Price percentage, which reached an impressive 100.1%, according to the RPR analysis. This means that, on average, homes in Healdsburg are selling for slightly more than their asking price. For buyers, this statistic is crucial, indicating that in order to secure a property, one must be prepared to offer the full asking price or more.
Average List of sale price %
One real-world example involves a three-bedroom home that was listed for $1.2 million. Given the competitive market, multiple offers came in quickly, and the home ultimately sold for $1.23 million, reflecting the urgency and willingness of buyers to pay above the listed price.
Speed of Transactions
Another key factor to consider is the median days on the market, which stands at 41 days. This is relatively quick, showing that homes are being snapped up almost as soon as they are listed. For sellers, this means there’s little risk of a property declining on the market, while buyers need to move swiftly to secure their desired home.
Median Days in RPR
For example, a modern townhouse listed in early July received multiple offers within the first two weeks and was under contract by the third week. This quick turnaround highlights the fast-paced nature of the Healdsburg market.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For those looking to buy in Healdsburg, the current market trends suggest that it’s essential to act quickly and make strong offers. The rising prices and short time on the market mean that hesitation can lead to missed opportunities or another buyer outbidding you.
On the flip side, sellers are in an excellent position to maximize their returns. The high List to Sold Price percentage and quick sales times ensure that well-priced homes are moving swiftly and often for more than the asking price.
