2010 -- WHAT WILL THIS MEAN FOR SONOMA REAL ESTATE?

A new year and new opportunities for both buyers and sellers! 2009 ended with an 18.5% increase in the median home price compared to December 2008. In addition we are seeing less inventory on the market and days on market are decreasing. Though there will continue to be both foreclosures and short sales in 2010, the market appears to have stabilized.

Expect to see greater activity in areas with second homes such as Sonoma, Healdsburg, and the Sonoma Coast. Prices have come down and there has been increased activity with buyers of second homes.

If you are waiting for the market to hit bottom or the huge wave of foreclosures, wait no longer. If last quarters trend continues, the corner may have already turned.
