Real estate markets are local. From Healdsburg to Sebastopol in Sonoma County, and Calistoga to Yountville in Napa Valley, wine country real estate is unique. Whether you are buying or selling it is always good to have insight into local real estate markets. The thing is, these properties can be wildly different in size, location, accessibility, quality of improvements and certainly the type of vineyard. With all of these factors in play it can be difficult to wrap your mind around the metrics for this type of real estate. Our real estate market has a very unique dynamic once you move beyond more conventional homes, neighborhoods and subdivisions.

Some of the main motivation to purchase in Sonoma County and the Napa Valley is the lifestyle, more space, natural beauty and of course the wine (that is the vineyards that produce wine).
