If you're thinking about buying a home in Sonoma County, this episode is essential listening. I break down real market data from the last 60 days and reveal something surprising: we're in a split market where 52% of homes sell in under 30 days (often above asking), while 10% sit for 120+ days and eventually sell for just 91% of list price.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The four distinct seller experiences happening right now in Sonoma County — and what each one means for you as a buyer

• Why homes that have been sitting 90+ days are real opportunities for smart, well-prepared buyers

• How to recognize a well-prepared home worth competing for vs. one where there's room to negotiate aggressively

• The real monthly carrying costs sellers face while their home sits — and why that gives you leverage

• How to approach offers differently depending on a home's days on market

Whether you're relocating from the Bay Area, considering a move to wine country, or exploring living in Sonoma County for the first time, the strategies I share will help you move with confidence.
