The median home in the city of Sebastopol was built in 1975, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the California median of 1976. That is older than the Sonoma County median of 1979.1 Somewhat more of Sebastopol's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 62% against 50%, with 4% built since 2010. The largest single share, 34%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Sonoma County as a whole (52% built before 1980).1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Sebastopol are of similar age: median build years 1975 and 1974.1

Sebastopol has a mixed housing stock: 57% detached houses, 9% attached or townhouse units and 15% in buildings of five or more units.1 56% of occupied homes in Sebastopol are owner-occupied, in line with the California share of 56%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Sebastopol is valued at $845,700 (ACS), above the California median of $734,700. Within Sonoma County the median is $815,500, so Sebastopol sits close to it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
