Healdsburg’s red hot real estate market led the county, shooting up at more than twice the Sonoma County average, making property here more valuable and at the same time even less affordable than before.
The numbers were contained in the 2022-23 Assessment Roll prepared by Sonoma County Clerk-Recorder-Assessor Deva Marie Proto.
