September's numbers are in. Two Napa County sales closed in three to five weeks; two others sat for six-plus months. If you're thinking about listing in November, this is the recap to read first.
Napa County's median sale price was $848,102 over the three months ending September 2026, down 5.8% from the same period last year. Homes took an average of 54 days to sell, faster than the 80 days we saw a year ago. Seventy-nine homes sold in September, down from 97 last September. In September, the typical sale closed at 97.1% of list price, and 22.2% of homes sold above asking.
Translation: fewer sales and softer prices than last year, but buyers are absolutely still buying the right house.
Two September sales closed in weeks, not months. A 3-bed on Rosemont Cir listed at $1,295,000 went 2% over list in 35 days. On Vassar Dr, a $1,575,000 listing closed 2% under list in 21 days. My honest take: price to the comps and you give yourself the best shot at that kind of result.
The misses are just as clear. A Foster Rd property listed at $3,550,000 took 189 days and closed 11% under list. A home on S Newport Dr listed at $1,595,000 needed 192 days and a 6% discount. And right now there's a 1952 home on Minahen St listed at $660,000 that has been sitting for over a year. My honest take: when a house sits that long, the list price is the first thing to question.
The September examples for a November listing: two homes closed in three to five weeks, one at 2% over list and one at 2% under; two others took six-plus months and closed 6 to 11% under their list prices. My honest take: list at the number the comps support and you give yourself the best shot at the short timeline.
