Sacramento's housing market had a big moment during the pandemic, as many Bay Area residents flocked inland for more space and comparatively affordable prices. Home values here jumped a lot during that rush, making Sacramento one of California's hot markets for a time.
Now, with higher interest rates and those relocation waves subsiding, the market has cooled slightly. Prices have basically steadied (even dipping a bit from their peak), and the buying frenzy has calmed.
Sacramento remains a popular escape from the ultra-high costs of the Bay Area - the value here is still clear. Nice homes in good neighborhoods continue to find buyers, but now you might see only one or two offers instead of ten.
Sellers have adjusted to this cooler reality; they can't name any price and get a bidding war anymore. Buyers are taking advantage of the slower pace to negotiate and do their due diligence without as much pressure. Foreclosure listings remain relatively low in Sacramento, which suggests most homeowners have solid equity and aren't in trouble. All in all, Sacramento's market has settled into a more balanced state after a feverish run.
