Dear clients and friends:
Welcome to SPRING! Our monthly blog includes all areas of Sonoma County and the Sonoma Coast.
Real Estate Snapshot: The low inventory of available homes to purchase in Sonoma County is extraordinary. In March of 2021, Sonoma County had approximately 1,100 homes for sale. The same time in 2022 it dropped to around 740 homes, and this March the number of homes on the market dropped to 420 for the whole county. Even in the rain, open houses were getting record number of buyers through the door. This lack of supply and strong demand has created an environment of multiple offers for many of these homes. Interest rates have trended down toward the 6% mark. Lending programs offering rate buy downs, and first-time home buyer incentives are attracting buyers. It’s important to remember that all real estate is local. Sonoma County continues to be a place people love to live.
We have beautiful properties coming up in Occidental, Freestone and Santa Rosa. Here’s our new coastal listing:

LOCAL NEWS AND EVENTS
HEALDSBURG: AN IDEAL WINE COUNTRY DESTINATION
A wonderful Sonoma County Staycation: Once in a while, we like to pop up to Healdsburg and stay in a Bed and Breakfast, like the Camellia Inn, Calderwood Inn, Grape Leaf Inn or the Healdsburg Inn. So easy and relaxing, and walkable to everything.
Healdsburg offers the kind of travel experience many imagine when thinking of Wine Country. More than 100 wineries can be found in and around this northern Sonoma County town and just a short drive from its picturesque plaza are three premier winegrowing regions — Russian River Valley, Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley — producing some of the finest wines in the world. But there’s more than wine to enjoy in Healdsburg. There are Michelin restaurants and celebrity chefs on nearly every block, boutiques and art galleries to peruse, chic hotels to check into and a long list of activities to explore.
