Napa, CA Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around Napa, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Napa sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of October 2026.

A note on scope: these figures are for Napa itself, not Napa County. They share a name but are different areas, and county-wide numbers will differ.

The snapshot

  • •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 417
  • •Median sold price, last 6 months: $825,000
  • •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $536
  • •Middle half of sales closed between: $667,000 and $1,075,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 417 closed sales in Napa over the last six months, with a median closing price of $825,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $667,000 and $1,075,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 80% of the Napa closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 413 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $449 and $635 per square foot.

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Napa over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $667,000 and $1,075,000. Among the 262 California markets with a published band, Napa's middle-half spread ($667,000 to $1,075,000) ranks 131st from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 41st percentile of the 2,230 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of October 3, 2026.

How long a sale takes here

  • •Listed to under contract: a median of 35 days, across 292 Napa closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
  • •Contract to closing: a median of 22 days, across 293 Napa closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 417 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

Napa prices by property type

Among the Napa closings with usable living area over the last six months, single-family houses closed at a median of $551 per square foot (333 sales) and condos at $438 (33 sales).

The Napa angle

Napa's quartile spread is close to typical for the markets we track, which puts it in the category where the median informs but does not decide. Resideline tracked 417 closings over the last six months; the median closed sale price was $825,000 and the middle half of sales fell between $667,000 and $1,075,000. The band extends further above the median than below it, so an above-average subject carries more valuation risk than a below-average one. Comps are thinner than average here, so choose the two or three attributes that most influence price for your subject and match on those rather than spending the pool on broad screening.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Napa address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Napa over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Napa city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 14% of the 417 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $847,000.
