A. Home

Hey there, house hunters and daydreamers—let’s talk Petaluma, where vintage charm meets modern living (and yes, where the farmers’ market produce is just better, sorry not sorry).
Here’s what you need to know if you’re thinking about making your move before summer drifts into fall:

💸 Prices + Opportunity
* Median home price? Around $960K, which means yes, there are homes under $1M if you know where to look (hint: I do).
* Sellers are warming up to offers with perks—closing cost credits, roof allowances, and creative concessions are absolutely on the table.
* Inventory is up a touch, so you can actually take a breath before writing your offer (imagine that).

🕒 Timing is Everything
* Average days on market: 34 (translation: if you love it, don’t wait forever).
* The homes that sparkle—think updated kitchens, dreamy yards, and flex spaces—are still getting snapped up fast.
* Homes that need a little TLC? Hanging out longer, waiting for someone with vision (or a really good contractor).

🌸 What’s Hot Right Now
* Single-level stunners under $1.2M (especially anything with an ADU—hello, passive income).
* Vintage west side beauties with curb appeal for days.
* Outdoor living spaces—because summer evenings here are basically a love letter to Sonoma County.

💡 Insider Tip
This is exactly the kind of market where a little creativity goes a long way. Want to negotiate credits or find a hidden gem that everyone else is overlooking? Let’s get strategic (and maybe a little bit bold).

💌 DM me to start the conversation—homes (and summer sunsets) are waiting.

A friend asked me over dinner 2 nights ago:
“Is now a good time to buy?”
Thanks for the great question, Jade 🤍

Here’s what I told her—the same thing I tell my clients:
The right time to buy is when you can afford it.
It might not be the $2M dream home (yet).
But it might be a home—the one that lets you start building equity and opens doors to the next move, and the one after that.

Think of it like those magnet tiles kids love:
You build a base, one piece at a time.
Before you know it—you’ve built a tower.
That’s the power of getting in the game.

What we know:
Over 100 housing market experts are projecting prices will rise 3–4% per year over the next 5 years.

Waiting doesn’t just cost you financially—it can cost you opportunity, and quality of life.
