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.

Sacramento’s real estate market is cooling seasonally, but the smart money is moving. In this October 2025 update, Christopher Brown of Next Real Estate Group, ERA Powered & Next New Homes Group breaks down the real numbers buyers need to know.

👉 New Home Market:
Sales jumped 18%, making this one of the strongest Octobers in a decade — and incentives are starting to disappear as inventory tightens.

👉 Prices & Inventory:
Average sold price dipped to $668,000, with days on market rising to 51. Months of inventory held steady at 2.5, but properly priced homes are still selling fast.

👉 Rates & Strategy:
Mortgage rates hover in the mid-6s, and waiting for 5% could cost buyers big. When rates fall, incentives vanish and demand spikes — pushing prices higher.

👉 Christopher’s Take:
Right now is the rare window where builders are offering major deals, and savvy buyers (and investors) are scooping them up. When rates drop, this window closes.

If you're planning a move, the team at NEXT can help you get from where you are to where you want to be.
