The sale of the three-bedroom property at 129 Sunny Hill Drive represents the peak of a week that saw six total residential sales in the area. While the top end of the market reached into the mid-six figures, the weekly average for these transactions sat at $1.16 million, or roughly $685 per square foot.

These figures reflect titles recorded during the week of Oct. 26, though some underlying sales were finalized earlier in the month. This data provides a snapshot of a localized market where price per square foot varies significantly based on property age and size.

High-end sales and price per square foot variance

The disparity in how much buyers are paying for space is evident when comparing the most expensive homes to the more moderately priced ones. For instance, the $1.54 million sale at 426 King Road commanded $1,127 per square foot for its 1,366-square-foot living area.

In contrast, a larger property at 22 Sapporo Court sold for $940,000. While this home offered 2,650 square feet of living space, the price per square foot was considerably lower at $355.

The following table breaks down the six residential sales recorded during this period:

Address	Sale Price	Square Footage	Price per Sq. Ft.	Year Built
129 Sunny Hill Drive	$1,590,000	1,706	$932	1974
426 King Road	$1,540,000	1,366	$1,127	1981
254 Windsor Drive	$1,260,000	2,047	$613	2000
22 Sapporo Court	$940,000	2,650	$355	1998
1900 Dover Lane	$895,000	1,515	$591	1999
116 Saratoga Court	$755,000	1,536	$492	1979

The most expensive sale, the Sunny Hill Drive residence, features three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The transaction for that property was finalized on Oct. 19.

Market shifts in the North Bay

The sales data suggests a bifurcated market where older, smaller homes in premium locations can command much higher prices per foot than newer, larger residences. The King Road property, built in 1981, achieved the highest price per square foot of the group at $1,127.

This trend often shows a preference for established neighborhoods or specific lot characteristics that outweigh raw square footage. For those looking at the broader economic implications, these high-value transactions contribute to the overall valuation of the Petaluma residential sector.

The transaction at 254 Windsor Drive, a 2,047-square-foot home built in 2000, closed on Oct. 19 for $1.26 million. This sale sits near the middle of the weekly range, reflecting the $613 per square foot mark.

Even the lowest-priced sale in this group, 116 Saratoga Court, represents a large investment. That four-bedroom home sold for $755,000 on Oct. 16, with a price of $492 per square foot.

The Dover Lane sale, which closed on Oct. 20, adds another data point to the recent activity. The 1,515-square-foot home was purchased for $895,000, averaging $591 per square foot.
