Buying your own property in the wine country? Sonoma and Napa real estate.

The San Francisco Chronicle recently reported renouned vintner Warren Winiarski sold his famed winnery Stag’s Leap for $185 million. That is a lot of money to pay for a property up in the California wine country, but there are probably affordable real estate and homes for sale in the region that people can purchase.

In this article, I will look at 2 cities in this Northern California wine region, Sonoma and Napa, comparing the real estate market in Napa and real estate market in Sonoma. They are both well-known cities in this wine country region and are only 14 miles apart, they are in two different counties Napa County and Sonoma County. Below I am summarizing the property listings from the Movoto real estate website. Whether you are intersted in a vacation home, primary residence or a second home in a relaxing resort-like area, please read on.

Napa has more homes for sale, with 410 actively on the market now. The median price is slightly higher at $675,000. The average size of the homes is 1,716 sf, and the average size of the lot is 7,841 sf. The property with the largest lot has 12,866,753 sf, approximately 295 acres. The homes sell for an average of $418 per square foot. The most expensive house here in Napa is $19,950,000.

Sonoma has 164 single family homes for sale and their average median price is $649,000. The median size of the homes is 1,580 sf and median lot size is 8,015 sf. Interesting the property with the largest lot has 15,768,720 sf, which is about 362 acres. The average $ per square foot is $442. The most expensive house is $35,000,000. In general, Sonoma’s median price is slightly lower than Napa’s, but the most expensive house is higher priced here, and it costs slightly more per square foot of living space.
