Is the Sacramento housing market heating up in 2026?
January just delivered a major signal — new home sales surged 79% month-over-month across the greater Sacramento region. Buyer demand is rising, pending sales are up, inventory remains under three months, and mortgage rates are stabilizing.
In this January 2026 Sacramento Real Estate Market Update, Christopher Brown of NEXT Real Estate Group, ERA Powered breaks down:
• New home sales trends
• Average home prices in the 4-county region
• Price per square foot
• Pending vs closed sales
• Days on market
• Months of inventory
• Mortgage rate movement
• What it all means for buyers and sellers
The big story? Buyers aren’t just browsing — they’re making decisions. And as demand increases, builder incentives and negotiating leverage may begin to shrink.
If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or moving up in 2026, timing and strategy matter more than ever.
