How the Petaluma market is doing
City-wide market summary data for the current and year-ago periods was not available in time for this report. The day's nine moves — two new listings, three pendings, one MLS-reported sale, and three recorded closings — all involved single-family homes, which gives no read on condo or townhome activity for September 29.
