Sonoma County is not one market. It is a luxury Wine Country town, a river-canyon full of vacation rentals, a working apple-and-orchard west county, a valley of vineyard estates, and the largest city north of the Golden Gate, all inside an hour's drive. That range is the whole appeal: whatever you are looking for, from a walkable downtown condo to a hilltop estate on ten acres, it exists here at some price. It also means the right move depends entirely on which corner of the county fits your life, and the numbers behind each one look very different.
