Here is another Napa Valley town’s 2011 residential real estate sales statistics. This time I have chosen Yountville, arguable the heart of the Napa Valley. Yountville besides being such a gastronomic hot spot has been a place well know and a favorite for both residents and those who purchased second homes here. In my estimation, approximately half who reside here are full time residents, a quarter are second homes and a quarter are rentals.

Also included here is my ongoing tally of the residential sales numbers, number for sale as of January 1st, average & median prices and days on market (DOM) for the past six years.
