What Zillow shows
Zillow puts Santa Rosa's typical home value at $708,056 as of Sept. 30, 2026, up 0.5% from a year earlier, with homes going pending in about 23 days.
What it means for buyers and sellers
Prices and sales volume are essentially flat compared with last year. The difference is speed: homes are selling about 13 days faster. Santa Rosa is still among the more affordable larger Bay Area cities, but buyers have less time to decide than they did last fall.
Redfin figures cover the three months through September 2026 and compare with the same period a year earlier. Zillow's Home Value Index is a typical-home estimate, not a sale price, so the two numbers measure different things and won't match exactly.
