Sonoma County Single-Family Market Snapshot: June 2026
One month at 100%+ of the asking price is a data point. Two months in a row is a pattern.
Sonoma County single-family homes closed in June 2026 at 100.13% of list price, the second consecutive month above 100%, with a median sold price of $873,000 and a median time on market of just 32 days. Inventory stands at 2.91 months of supply, down 35.9% from a year ago. The county’s seller’s market is not softening. It is holding with a consistency that separates Sonoma County from most of Northern California.
The numbers from May to June show almost no movement: price flat (-0.23%), days on market up two days, inventory essentially unchanged, and closed sales actually up 6.5% to 361 transactions. In a market that many expected to cool heading into mid-year, the stability itself is the story.
Where the county diverges sharply from the broader market narrative, it diverges even more sharply from its own luxury submarket. Healdsburg, tracked separately in our July 2026 Healdsburg report, sits at 6.21 months of supply with sellers conceding 6.65% below asking. Same county. Entirely different market conditions.
What Are the Current Average Home Prices in the Sonoma County Housing Market?
The median sold price for single-family homes in Sonoma County in June 2026 was $873,000, based on 361 MLS-recorded closed transactions. Sellers received 100.13% of their asking price on average.
| Segment | Median Price | # of Properties | Median $/Sqft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active Listings | $1,200,000 | 916 | $606 |
| New Listings (June) | $850,000 | 467 | $530 |
| New Pending | $830,000 | 359 | $500 |
| Pending (all) | $825,000 | 186 | $534 |
| Sold (MLS) | $873,000 | 361 | $498 |
| Sold (Public Records) | $770,000 | 199 | $491 |
| Median Estimated Value | $800,440 | — | — |
Unlike Healdsburg, where a $750K+ gap exists between active list prices and what deals actually close at, Sonoma County’s spread is tight and functional. The median new listing at $850K, new pendings at $830K, and closed sales at $873K are all operating within the same price band, a sign that buyers and sellers are genuinely aligned on value in this market.
The median estimated property value of $800,440, up 1% from May and down just 0.9% year-over-year, is the most stable estimated value figure in this report series. The 12-month decline is narrowing toward flat, and monthly momentum (+1%) is quietly positive.
Sonoma County Average Home Price Trends
Stability Is the Story
Sonoma County single-family prices have traced a remarkably flat trajectory through the first half of 2026. The May median was $875K; June came in at $873K. That -0.23% month-over-month movement, against a backdrop of meaningful seller leverage, reflects a market in genuine equilibrium at the current price level, not one under pressure.
Key trend data from the current report:
- New listings entered in June at a median of $850K, down 3.3% from May’s $879K, with 467 properties, fewer new entries, but still a healthy pipeline feeding a fast-moving market.
- Active inventory contracted to 916 properties (-7.9% MoM) with a combined listed value of $1.8B; median active list price jumped to $1.2M (+12.7% MoM), reflecting a compositional shift toward higher-end unsold stock as the attainable inventory transacts quickly.
- Months of supply at 2.91 is down 7.3% from May and down a decisive 35.9% year-over-year. Inventory is nearly two-thirds tighter than it was in June 2025.
- Sold volume reached $405.3M across 361 transactions, the strongest closed volume in this report series.

Price Per Square Foot
MLS-recorded sold homes closed at $498/sqft in June, down 6% from May’s $530/sqft, a drop that reflects the composition of what sold more than any broad depreciation. When more mid-range homes transact (1,600–1,700 sqft range), the $/sqft figure compresses even as the median price holds. Public records data show $491/sqft across 199 transactions, consistent with the MLS figure. Active listings are priced at $606/sqft, a premium that reflects the luxury composition of unsold stock, particularly the high-end inventory pushing the median active list price to $1.2M.
Market Type: Seller’s Market and Holding
The RPR market type indicator places Sonoma County firmly in seller’s market territory for the second consecutive month, with 2.91 months of supply. Inventory actually ticked up fractionally from May’s 2.90, effectively flat, while the year-over-year decline deepened to 35.9%. There is no current data pointing to a near-term shift out of seller’s market conditions.
Inventory and Supply: Still the Core Constraint
Active single-family inventory contracted to 916 properties in June, down 7.9% from May’s 947. The median active listing now shows 55 days on market, up 19.6% from 45 days in May, but this reflects the aging of unsold high-end stock, not broad stagnation. The homes that are actually priced for the market are closing in 32 days.
New pending activity remained strong at 359 homes under contract in June, with a total pending volume of $403.3M. Pending contracts at a median of $830K, close to where new listings are entering at $850K, confirm that buyers are engaging promptly on realistically priced homes. The all-pending pool of 186 properties moved even faster, at 28 days median, with a volume of $204.6M.
The pending-to-active ratio of 359 new pendings against 916 active listings is approximately 39%, nearly two in five listed homes going under contract in a single month. That absorption rate sustains the sub-3-month supply figure and keeps the market firmly in the seller’s territory.
Year-over-year inventory down 35.9% is the single most important structural number in this report. At current absorption rates, supply would need to roughly double before the market shifts to a balanced state.
What This Market Means for Buyers
The June 2026 Sonoma County data from the “Sonoma County Residential Market Trends – Realtors Property Resource.pdf” is direct: this market does not favor hesitation.
- 100.13% sold-to-list ratio means the default assumption of negotiating below asking doesn’t hold, multiple-offer scenarios are generating final prices at or above the list price
- 32-day median time on market leaves limited room for extended deliberation on correctly priced homes; properties that check the right boxes are going under contract in about a month
- 359 new pending contracts in June confirm buyer activity is strong and not seasonal. This market doesn’t have a summer slowdown
- 2.91 months of inventory means roughly 39% of listed homes went under contract last month, a very active absorption rate that sustains competitive conditions
- The $830K median pending price vs. the $850K median new listing price shows buyers are engaging right at or just below list, not at meaningful discounts.

What This Market Means for Sellers
Two consecutive months at 100%+ of list price is about as strong a seller’s signal as exists in residential real estate. The June data reinforces everything from May:
- 100.13% sold-to-list means correctly priced homes are generating competition that pushes final prices above ask. Sellers who price at fair market value, not above it, are the ones capturing this premium.
- 32-day median close rewards sellers who are ready to move: clean titles, accessible for showings, responsive to inspection negotiations.
- New listings dropped 7.7% month-over-month to 467. Fewer competitors entering the market in June reduce supply pressure and benefit current sellers.
- Active inventory fell to 916 (-7.9%). Each home that sells is not being fully replaced by new supply, keeping conditions tight
- The active list price median jumped to $1.2M (+12.7%). This reflects luxury stock accumulating in the unsold tier. Sellers at $1.2M+ are in a different environment from sellers at $850–900K, where the market is most liquid.
The risk for sellers is over-reading the data. A 100.1% sold-to-list ratio applies to homes priced correctly. Homes priced at $1.2M+ are sitting 55+ days. Know which tier you’re in before you price.
