<p><font face="Times New Roman">A client recently asked me to give him a market update for homes selling under $500,000 in Sonoma County. <span>  </span>He is thinking of how he can help one of his kids get into a home.<span>  </span><span> </span>I looked at the <span> </span>Residential Real Estate market in the cities of <city w:st="on"></city>Sonoma, <city w:st="on"></city>Petaluma, Santa Rosa or Healdsburg. <city w:st="on"></city></font><font face="Times New Roman"></p>
<place w:st="on"></place>This graph developed from data by Trendsgraphic <a href="http://www.winecountry-realestate.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/20100127-2009-sonoma-county-homes-graph-for-properties-under-500000.pdf" title="2009 Sonoma Homes Graph for properties under 500,000">2009 Sonoma Homes Graph for properties under 500,000</a><span> </span><span> </span>shows the hottest real estate category &#8211; homes priced in the $500,000 range &#8211; and the inventory of those homes in that category. </font><font face="Times New Roman"> </font><font face="Times New Roman">As shown on the graph, Healdsburg has the highest home inventory over a five-month period.<span>  </span>I consider this statistic a fluke; it doesn’t take into account the amount of pending sales.</font><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman">Overall, the graph presents a positive market in Sonoma for homes priced around $500,000.00.<span>  </span>With the amount of inventory selling within a two-month span, this means, within this category, it’s a sellers’ market. So buyers, act quickly to take advantage of the </font><a href="http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/"><font face="Times New Roman">home owners credit</font></a><font face="Times New Roman"> and low interest rates.</font><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></p>
