As July begins to wind down and kids are getting ready for their last few weeks of summer break, it would seem that everything else should slow down, too. However, the opposite has happened in the real estate market. Recently, the median home price in Sonoma County rose once again, and it now stands at incredible $600,000.

For those who’ve saved to buy a home in the median price range, this may come as a surprise after the recent raise to $550k, but there are still plenty of homes available in this range that won’t break the bank if you’ve been saving for this very circumstance.

Real estate is a fickle thing, and with more homes being built throughout the North Bay, homebuyers may want to wait for prices to drop before buying. For now, here’s what’s new on the market this week:

931 Baird Rd, Santa Rosa – $619,000

This is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in the Rincon Valley area of Santa Rosa. There’s 1,300 square feet of interior space, and an already drought-tolerant front yard to make the drought easier on new homeowners.

The backyard has a small area of grass, but it’s still a good size for entertaining.
