Sacramento Real Estate Market Update – February ’26

Sacramento’s real estate market is off to one of its strongest starts in years — and the February 2026 data tells the full story. In this month’s market update, I break down everything buyers, sellers, and homeowners in the Sacramento region need to know right now.

From new home sales running above historical averages, to inventory tightening, to mortgage rates finally and consistently breaking below 6% — the market is sending clear signals. The question is whether you’re positioned to act on them.

I also share the one thing I think buyers are going to be saying out loud in Q4 2026 that they wish they’d acted on today. Don’t skip the end.
