Sacramento sellers are asking $828,000 and getting $698,000. Here's what that $130K gap means for you in July 2026.
The Sacramento housing market slowed down this summer — but not the way most people think. Homes priced correctly are still selling fast and at 98% of original list price. Homes that miss the number are sitting for 40+ days and taking cuts. In this month's update I break down every number from Trendgraphix and the North State Building Industry Association, and show you exactly where sellers are going wrong.
