Three Petaluma single-family homes recorded on September 28 — one penny over asking, one $150,000 under
No new listings appeared on the MLS feed on September 28 in Petaluma. Three single-family home sales recorded, and the spread in outcomes — from a near-exact ask at 705 5th Street to a $150,000 discount at 20 Eucalyptus Avenue — is the story of the day.

What went pending
1778 Stone Creek Drive, a single-family home, entered pending status at a list price of $885,000. No further transaction detail is in the record at this stage.
The three recorded closings
The widest range in outcomes came from three homes that are otherwise in the same broad category — single-family, all in Petaluma — but traded at very different distances from their asking prices.
| Address | List Price | Sale Price | Sq Ft | $/Sq Ft | Over/Under Ask |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 705 5th Street | $1,399,999 | $1,400,000 | 1,369 | $1,022.64 | +$1 |
| 1804 Adobe Creek Drive | $1,129,000 | $1,115,000 | 3,006 | $370.92 | -$14,000 |
| 20 Eucalyptus Avenue | $1,150,000 | $1,000,000 | 1,300 | $769.23 | -$150,000 |
705 5th Street sold for $1,400,000 — one dollar over its $1,399,999 list price. At 1,369 square feet, that works out to $1,022.64 per square foot, the highest of the three by a wide margin. At that price-per-foot, the small footprint is doing heavy lifting.
1804 Adobe Creek Drive is the largest of the three at 3,006 square feet and recorded at $1,115,000, or $14,000 below its $1,129,000 ask. Its $370.92 per square foot reflects the size premium buyers typically apply to larger homes — more square footage generally means a lower per-foot figure, and that held here.
20 Eucalyptus Avenue is where the gap opens up. The 1,300-square-foot home listed at $1,150,000 and recorded at $1,000,000 — a $150,000 reduction from ask, or roughly 13 percent. At $769.23 per square foot, it sits between the other two on a per-foot basis but closed well below the original pricing.
How the Petaluma market is doing
The market context data for Petaluma returned no usable figures for the current or prior-year 180-day windows — sample sizes came back at zero — so no median price, median price per square foot or sales-count comparison is available for this report. The three closings above are the day's record; readers who want a broader baseline should consult county transaction data directly.
