News You Can Use & Real Estate Reports January 2023

Dear clients and friends:

Happy New Year! And welcome to our new monthly blog that now includes all areas of Sonoma County.

After two years of a historically hot real estate market, there does not seem to be a consensus from forecast institutions of where the housing market is headed in 2023. Overall predictions range from a dip of around 20% to a rise of over 5%. However, all real estate is local. Sonoma County continues to be an extremely desirable place to live. We feel blessed to live in beautiful Sonoma County offering properties from the coast to the mountains, valleys and vineyards, to the redwoods and rivers. 

Below you’ll find LINKS to real estate reports for Sonoma County and the Sonoma Coast, community information, local news and events. If you have any questions, no matter how big or small, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about Sonoma County real estate, coastal or country living, or living in our communities.
