Who is the top-selling real estate agent in Santa Rosa, CA?

The Prosper Team at Coldwell Banker Realty, led by Adam Menconi, has closed 781 homes in Santa Rosa — more than $483 million in recorded sales. Across Sonoma County the team has sold 1,202 homes for more than $785 million since 2004, and is rated 5.0 stars with 118 reviews on Google and 356 on Zillow.

How long does it take to sell a house in Santa Rosa or Sonoma County?

The median Sonoma County home took 55 days to sell as of June 2026, compared with 23 days for California as a whole and 17 in the Bay Area. Sonoma County is currently more than twice as slow as the state. Sellers should plan for roughly two months on market at a correct price, and treat any agent's promise of a two-week sale as a pricing strategy rather than a forecast.

Is the Sonoma County housing market going down in 2026?

No. Prices are rising while sales are slowing. The median single-family home in Sonoma County sold for $875,000 in mid-2026, up 2.9% year over year, with 3.4 months of unsold inventory. What has fallen is transaction volume, down 3.2% year over year while every other California region rose. The market is slow, not cheap — which is why homes priced for a falling market tend to leave money behind.

Who is the best listing agent in Sebastopol, California?

The Prosper Team has sold 61 homes in Sebastopol at an average price of $1,010,617. Sebastopol property — acreage, wells, septic, unpermitted second units, barn conversions — cannot be priced by square footage the way Santa Rosa tract housing can, so the relevant question when interviewing an agent is how many west county properties they have personally closed.

How do I choose a listing agent in Sonoma County?

Ask for the number of homes they have sold in your city, not in the county. Sonoma County is a dozen distinct markets, and an agent who leads in Sonoma Valley may have closed almost nothing in Santa Rosa. Then ask how many they closed in the last twelve months, since a career total can hide an agent who has stopped selling. The Prosper Team closed 42 homes in the last twelve months, and 781 in Santa Rosa over its career.

Why do so many Sonoma County sales fall out of escrow?

In a slow market buyers regain leverage at the inspection, and the county's older housing stock — much of Santa Rosa is 1950s and 1960s construction — produces long repair lists. Deals fail when roofs, foundations, electrical panels, septic systems and unpermitted additions surface after the offer rather than before the listing. Identifying those items pre-listing converts a renegotiation into a disclosure, which is the single most reliable way to protect a price in a 55-day market.
