“I have used Matthew for 2 purchases now. He has proven to have a unique ability to navigate challenging deals and use out of the box negotiation methods. We were able buy both houses for well under market and avoid a few preparties that that, in hindsight, would have been bad deals. Matthew has also helped me prepare my rental property for rent for the first time. His expertise for this niche got us over 40 qualified prospective tenants in 72 hours, and helped us decide on a great couple that has been amazing to work with. I have learned that when you talk about real estate, everyone claims to be an expert but few actually are. I can't see my self using any other agent for any future endeavors. - Highly recommend!”

Monthly Pricing Trends for Mendocino County
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Mendocino County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Mendocino County is currently tilted toward buyers, with a market gauge indicating a buyer's market. Active listings have edged down slightly from last month, yet there are still 498 homes on the market. New listings have picked up by mid–single digits month over month, suggesting sellers are still bringing fresh inventory despite slower sales.
Contract activity has cooled, with homes sold falling nearly 18 percent from last month and pending sales dropping by about 21 percent. Even with that slowdown, closed sales are up modestly compared with a year ago, and new listings are more than 11 percent higher year over year, pointing to more choices than last fall.
Pricing is adjusting to this softer demand, as the typical home value and median list price both declined month over month but still sit a few percent higher than a year ago. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market jumping to 93 this month, yet that figure is still lower than it was a year earlier, and months of supply has risen recently even while remaining well above California’s 3.6 months. Only a small share of homes are selling above list and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 96 percent, signaling buyers have room to negotiate in Mendocino County, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these conditions.
Learn more about what Mendocino County has to offer.
Mendocino County offers residents a vibrant blend of coastal beauty, tight-knit communities, expansive outdoor recreation, thriving local farms and the arts, and a resilient, sustainable lifestyle.
Mendocino County offers a distinctly slower and more independent pace than nearby Sonoma County or the Bay Area, with dramatic coastline, redwood forests, and small towns that feel closely knit. From the headlands of Mendocino and the working harbor in Fort Bragg to wine-focused Ukiah and Hopland, each community has its own identity yet shares a strong sense of local pride.
Outdoor life is a daily reality here. Residents explore trails at Russian Gulch State Park and kayak along the Big River estuary. Weekends might include a drive through Anderson Valley to Hendy Woods State Park or a visit to a neighborhood winery outside Philo. Families appreciate local institutions like Mendocino College and the Mendocino County Library system, along with community events that keep even the smallest towns connected.
Housing options span historic coastal cottages, rural homesteads, and in-town bungalows in places like Willits, each shaped by terrain, microclimate, and access to services. Inventory can be limited and highly localized, and market conditions on the coast often differ from inland valleys.
Whether you are relocating for lifestyle, investing in a second home, or considering selling after years in the same place, timing and preparation are essential in Mendocino County. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these nuanced communities and current market conditions.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Thomas was personable, flexible, timely, and communicative! We met him through Zillow and requested his services outside of his area of focus (we were buying in Marin County, and he usually specializes in San Francisco), but he jumped in to help and established open dialogues with selling agents at homes we were interested in. My husband and I enjoyed working with Thomas and appreciated his transparency and humor. We can’t speak to his negotiation skills as we did not enter into much negotiation, but we did close fast and smoothly (within 14 days) with his help and guidance, as well as the help of a great lender at Wells Fargo and a great title associate at Fidelity National Title. This was our first in-depth home buying experience, so we don’t have much to compare to, but Thomas made this experience possible, effective, and fun.”
“Karen is an incredible realtor! This was our second time working with her (this time as buyers), and once again, she was attentive, communicative, and truly went above and beyond to help us find the right property. She made the entire process feel easy and supported us every step of the way. We cannot recommend Karen enough! We will never use anyone else for our real estate needs!”
“Kara performed an outstanding job. Her responsiveness and 24/7 availability was a key component while looking for rare beach properties. Additional benefit was her off market property resources.”
“Working with Veronica was a pleasure, she kept me informed of the process the whole time. She showed me the houses in a timely manner that I wanted to see. Help me put in bids on some that were successful, though I did not follow through on buying either of them”
“If you have the opportunity to work with Eva, take it — you won't regret it for a single second! My fiance and I just purchased our first home, and we truly could not have done it without her. From the very beginning, Eva brought a level of care and attentiveness that made us feel like we were her only clients. No question was too small, no hour too late — she answered our calls and messages at all hours of the day with patience, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm for helping us find the right home. What sets Eva apart isn't just her professionalism — it's how deeply she invests in the people she works with. Buying your first home is equal parts exciting and overwhelming, and Eva had a rare gift for making the process feel seamless every step of the way. She anticipated our concerns before we even had to voice them and guided us with confidence and clarity through every decision. We are beyond grateful for everything she did for us. If you are looking for a real estate agent who will show up for you completely — heart, expertise, and all — Eva is the one. We cannot recommend her enough. It was truly an honor to have her in our corner.”
“Alex Trybull is the best!! He is very knowledgeable and always has answer or quickly hunts one down for every question I have. He is polite, calm, has exceptional communication skills and is extremely professional. I always feel he is looking out for me and my future purchase. He thoroughly looks through each property with me and points out things I might not see. I would happily work with him again for a purchase or a sale and I highly recommend him!!!”
“Mike and Ben are the absolute best! They were invaluable in helping us sell our two homes in Sonoma County! Since we live outside of the area, it was such a relief when Mike and Ben took charge of everything. They always ensured that the houses were presentable, sometimes even making minor cosmetic repairs as needed and held open houses consistently, even when the market was slow. Mike’s impeccable knowledge of the Sonoma County market as well as his professional contacts including quality repairmen, gardeners, house cleaners, carpet cleaners, etc. were indispensable in this process. As offers came in, Mike walked through everything with us with immense patience and never made us feel pressured or rushed. He did the same after we accepted the offers. We feel very lucky to have had Mike and Ben and would recommend them to anyone wholeheartedly due to their exceptional professionalism and expertise. With them, you also get the added benefit of working with genuinely good and kind people on your side!”
“Jonah has helped me find a hidden treasure last summer. After searching for several months and bidding on different multiplex’s I decided to change my perspective and purchase my first home instead. After 45 days I found a jewel. He’s patient, knowledgeable and wry helpful. Thank your”
“Erica did a great job staging the house for pictures, negotiating with the buyer, and especially getting us through all the paperwork is selling a house.”
“ConnieJo was the hardest working and most savvy agent I have ever heard of! With all of us living out of town, her hands on approach was necessary. She directed and handled extensive work on the house, the photos and marketing. The result was a quick sale above asking price.”
“Michael is an outstanding agent. He knows the Monterey Peninsula inside and out, and he was always available to us to answer questions. Michael is articulate, knowledgeable, and constantly presented himself in a professional manner no matter how heated the negotiations were He assisted with our choice and it was so wonderful to have Michael to consult with. Highly recommended!”
“Recommendation for Michael Murphree We highly recommend Michael Murphree at Compass. He was our realtor in the recent purchase of our home in Santa Rosa. Michael was extraordinarily helpful, and he consistently went above and beyond the normal scope of duty - to find solutions for us. Michael is professional, yet very warm. He answered so, so, so many of our questions, often recommending skilled experts – and arranging for them in a timely fashion - to solve diverse challenges - from roofing quotes, HVAC problems, to small and large repairs. Michael was consistently on time, friendly and VERY detail-oriented -- He helped us negotiate $45K off the asking price and noticed many aspects on the paperwork and in the home - that we, and the other (selling) realtor, missed. We sincerely suggest you consider using Michael and his team in your next transaction. We will definitely recommend Michale Murphree to our friends. - Peter and Nicky Schifrin & Heidi Ferrini Family, Santa Rosa”
“Michael was an outstanding agent! He was out there with us clearing property in waist high weeds and poison oak just to make sure we could complete the necessary evaluations and close on time. I would give him 100 stars if I could! Thank you so much Michael!”
“Clint did an amazing job selling my property! He’s extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market in Mendocino County I was out of state for most of the process, but he kept me informed and updated! I would definitely work with Clint again on my next property”
“Stewart came recommended to us by friends after we had tried three different local realty companies that showed little professionalism and lack of communication. After connecting with Stewart, he made the five-hour drive from the Bay Area to the Trinity Alps to meet and access our property and returned later to take marketing pictures. Within a week we were in contract with E&V and after finishing recommended projects, (to help improve the sale) we closed within a month but not before Stewart found an unfavorable financial mistake by the buyer's realtor. Stewart was attentive to our needs, gave exceptional advice and stayed in constant communication with us that we greatly appreciated. Stewart showed extreme professionalism throughout the entire process. He is so friendly and personable and that combined with his knowledge of construction and the real estate market gave us complete confidence in him.”
“We had a great experience working with Dina. she helped us find our house. She was a great patient and responsible person. My husband and I are very happy with her work.”
“Honestly, the thought of buying a home was a really daunting idea. Luckily, Tati was able to take us under her wing, keep it 100% real with us, and was super helpful and thoughtful when helping us find our new home. Now we are officially first-time home buyers and I couldn't have asked for more from the personal touch she provided while helping us on this journey! Highly recommend her for first (or second or third) time buyers!”
“I worked with Taskeen for my home purchase. I was a first time home buyer and the entire process was new to me. Taskeen was very patient and understanding throughout the process. Taskeen is very responsive. I have messaged her and talked to her on weekends and late evenings. She always responded in a timely manner. This was very important to me given the pace at which the market moves in the bay area. She was always available to show an unit outside open house hours. Taskeen has an eye for detail. During our visits to see houses, she would notice even the minutest details. These details could be something major or something that is good to know. For example, in one unit she even noticed that the shower rod is slightly tilted, pointed it out to me and said that someone might have accidently broken it or applied too much pressure on it at some point. As an example of a more major issue, we once saw an unit where there was an issue with the kitchen. Taskeen looked at the condition in detail and explained to me why the cost to fix it would be quite high, not to mention the amount of time it would take to fix the issues. Taskeen is a skilled negotiator and moved very fast to close when I saw the unit which I definitely wanted. This was important to me, because the rates at the time of my purchase were increasing regularly. I did not want to make an offer assuming a certain rate, only to find out that the rate has increased at the time of closing, resulting in a higher than anticipated monthly mortgage payment. I first saw the unit (which I bought) on Saturday. We went through the disclosures on Sunday morning, when they were first available, I saw the unit again on Sunday afternoon, to make sure that I definitely wanted it. Sunday evening, we had a call where I conveyed that this is the unit that I want. She immediately contacted the listing agent and we finalized on the prize on Sunday evening itself. Monday morning I confirmed the mortgage rates with my loan officer, who said that the rates can increase in the coming days. I conveyed to Taskeen that I would like to close before the rates increase. She moved very quickly and we closed in a few hours itself, which allowed me to lock the rates before they went up. Last but not the least, Taskeen is fun to work with, which make the whole home buying process much more pleasant.”
