The 2,053-square-foot property, built in 1968, set the price ceiling for a week of active regional real estate activity.
Across the region, prices ranged from $450,100 in American Canyon to $2.73 million in rural Napa. Price per square foot varied just as widely — from $229 in American Canyon to $1,327 in Napa's rural market, according to Modesto Bee.
Napa Rural Properties Command Premium Prices
Napa's rural market continues to attract top dollar. A home at 2072 Kirkland Avenue sold for $1.73 million, or $1,177 per square foot, according to Sacramento Bee. Built in 1942, it sits on a 1-acre lot and includes a pool. That sale followed other high-end rural closings: 1014 Stonedge Drive fetched $1.84 million in June, and 4038 East 3rd Avenue sold for $1.93 million in July.
Even at the lower end of Napa's rural tier, prices stay strong. The property at 4295 East 3rd Avenue — 1,566 square feet with three bedrooms — sold for $1.58 million in October, translating to $1,010 per square foot. Rural Napa's premium pricing reflects demand for space, privacy, and lot size.
Napa Condos and Suburban Homes Offer Mid-Range Options
Not every Napa sale breaks the million-dollar mark. A condo at 2151 Eva Street sold on Aug. 3 for $660,000, or $299 per square foot, according to Sacramento Bee. Built in 2017, the unit offers 2,206 square feet, four bedrooms, three baths, and an attached two-car garage — making it one of the more affordable options in the city.
Nearby suburban listings fill the middle ground. A three-bedroom, two-bath home at 1717 Olympia Court sold for $820,000 ($520 per square foot), while 170 Westgate Drive — at 2,479 square feet — went for $865,000, or $349 per square foot. Both properties included pools or similar amenities.
Santa Rosa Sees Steady Sales Around $770,000
Santa Rosa showed consistent mid-range demand. A 2,206-square-foot home at 2562 Silver Spur Drive sold for $775,000, or $351 per square foot, on Aug. 6, according to Sacramento Bee. Built in 2000, the property has four bedrooms, three baths, a fireplace, central heating, and a 5,431-square-foot lot.
Nearby comparable sales back up that pricing. 2632 Wild Bill Way sold in January for $770,000 ($349 per square foot), and 2641 Wild Bill Circle closed at $740,000 ($357 per square foot) in October. All three homes share similar square footage and bedroom counts, pointing to a stable price band between $740,000 and $775,000 in that Santa Rosa corridor.
Petaluma and American Canyon Round Out the Region
Petaluma held firm at the higher end of suburban demand. A single-story home at 1316 Ponderosa Drive sold for $892,000, or $500 per square foot — the highest price-per-square-foot figure among Petaluma listings. The property has four bedrooms, two baths, and sits on a 6,000-square-foot lot.
American Canyon offered the region's most affordable sale of the period. The home at 8 Daniel Drive sold on Aug. 4 for $450,100, or $229 per square foot, according to Sacramento Bee. The two-story property has four bedrooms, three baths, an attached two-car garage, and a 3,960-square-foot lot — reflecting the area's role as a more accessible entry point into the North Bay market.
