Napa County’s own economic forecast projects a 3.5% annual population increase through 2022. This means that housing needs are increasing every year, and yet the number of new housing units has grown by less than 1% annually for the past 9 years.

So, the sales price appreciation we have experienced in the City of Napa over the past three years is due in large part to demand outstripping supply.

Single-family home prices have risen 5.1% over the past three years while condo/townhomes have risen by 5.2%.

Buying property in Napa continues to be a very smart long-term investment and personal wealth-building opportunity.
