News You Can Use and Market Reports June, 2023

Dear clients and friends:

Welcome to June! Our monthly blog includes all areas of Sonoma County and the Sonoma Coast.

Real Estate Snapshot: Finally, more inventory is coming on the market which is giving active buyers homes to purchase. Properties that are presented well and priced appropriately are commonly getting more than one offer and going into contract quickly. Our contemporary new construction listing in Santa Rosa went into contract within 3 days of coming on the market and closed for all cash 10 days later for over the asking price. Our country listing in Occidental received 2 offers and closed for well over the asking price with a 1 month rent back to the sellers at no charge. Our farmhouse listing in Freestone gained 2 offers, will close in 10 days, all cash, for over the asking price with a 60-day free rent back to the sellers. We’ve included the single property websites for reference below. And we’ve included a “sneak peek” of two of our upcoming coastal listings.

Here’s a sneak peek of our upcoming coastal listing on Meyers Grade in Jenner. This unique property has two parcels equaling over 3 acres and ocean views.

Another Sneak Peek in South Bodega Harbour: This property has great ocean and golf course views, an excellent location, is attractively remodeled and turn-key, except for one living area with a separate entrance that has been taken down to the studs and is ready for a custom finish envisioned by a future owner.
