In fact, home prices have decreased 3.5% since April, when the median home price was $565,000.

In 2005, the sector had an economic output of $1.14 billion, its fourth year as a billion dollar industry. Employment and output in the industry are projected to remain relatively stable, with inflation-adjusted output in 2011 expected to be 7.6% higher than 2005, and employment in 2011 expected to be 1,200 or 6.4% higher than in As an export-oriented industry, the Agriculture and Food Processing sector captures consumer spending from outside of Sonoma County, and indirectly supports many more jobs and businesses locally. It also has an important relationship with the County s tourism sector, both of which complement each other.

The indicators selected for this report cover a wide array of economic areas, including employment, housing and construction, prices and inflation, and more. The hope is that briefly presenting this variety of information in one report gives the reader a broad picture of the health and direction of the local economy. The Economic Development Board encourages interested readers to recommend any pertinent local indicator or area that may improve this report. All data is believed to be the most current available at the time of publication. This month s report was prepared by Will Cathcart and Ben Herbert.
