If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be: schizophrenic. Some homes are selling the moment they hit the market, while others—even beautifully maintained ones—aren’t getting much attention. Open houses are poorly attended, and there is a lack of energy.

One surprising trend? There are quite a few homes available in the $1.1M–$1.7M range in Santa Rosa. In general, more homes are on the market in all price ranges. That’s not something we typically see this time of year, and it’s creating a unique pocket of opportunity for buyers.

For anyone thinking about buying, this could be the sweet spot you’ve been waiting for. With less competition and a dip in rates, now may be the right time to make a move on the property you’ve been eyeing, before the market shifts.

For future sellers, now is a good time to do those little projects you've been putting off. I’d be happy to share my go-to list of smart updates—just reach out anytime!
