SANTA ROSA, CA—It has been more than two months since the Wine County wildfires and assessing the impact on the housing markets is still only preliminary. It will likely take a couple of years to grasp the full impact of the fires.

Typically, sales activity slows between October and November, with an average decline between 6% and 14% in the three counties during the last 10 years.

Home sales activity increased notably year over year in November, up by 13% in Sonoma County and by 24% in Marin County but down by 11% in Napa County. Also, sales were markedly up from October with 16%, 17% and 23% increase in Marin, Napa and Sonoma respectively, according to Pacific Union International.
