Zillow's average home value ran $715,976 (down 1.0% year-over-year); Redfin's median sale price ran $729,000 over the three months ending June 2026 (down 1.8% YoY over that window); a separate citation put the median at $750,000, roughly flat YoY -- all three describe a currently cooling rather than surging market.
A genuine, real disclosed population decline alongside the market
Santa Rosa's own population has declined since its 2020 peak -- a real, disclosed context for buyers and sellers to weigh alongside the current flat-to-softening price trend, rather than assuming continuous Bay Area-adjacent appreciation.
