The Sacramento market didn't get the memo about melting down. 📊
Average sold price up 5.9%. Homes sold up 21%. Pending sales up 34%. Inventory at 2.2 months — that's seller's market territory.
But here's what nobody's talking about 👇
The resale market is on fire. New construction isn't moving at the same pace — and that gap means builders are offering rate buydowns, upgrades, and financing help you will not find in a resale bidding war.
You're not negotiating price. You're buying more home for the same money.
That window closes when buyer traffic catches up. It's catching up.
🏡 Buyers — comment HOMES below and we'll show you exactly what's available right now.
🤝 Agents — your buyers have options the resale market can't touch. Let's talk.
Full March breakdown in the long-form video on our channel.

The headlines said chaos. The Sacramento market said otherwise.
In this month's update, we're breaking down exactly what happened in the Sacramento region in March 2026 — new home sales, resale prices, inventory, days on market, and where mortgage rates are actually headed. No spin. Just the numbers and what they mean for you.
📊 What we cover in this video:

New home sales across the 8-county region — what the numbers actually mean
Average sold price hit $685,000 — up 5.9% — and why that trend isn't stopping
Pending sales jumped 34% — what that signals for April
Inventory dropped to 2.2 months — and why that matters if you're buying or selling
Mortgage rates in the mid-6% range — and the one number that should change how you think about waiting
The market split nobody's talking about — and how buyers can use it right now


🏡 Thinking about buying in Sacramento?
There's a specific opportunity in new construction right now that most buyers are completely missing. Builder incentives on quick move-in homes — rate buydowns, upgrades, financing assistance — are still on the table while the resale market offers none of that. That window is closing. Watch to the end and we'll show you exactly how to take advantage of it.
📋 Thinking about selling?
With inventory at 2.2 months and the sold-to-list ratio at 98%, conditions are as favorable as they've been all year. If you've been waiting for the right time, this video tells you what the data actually says.
🤝 Sacramento area agents:
If you haven't taken a serious look at new construction for your buyers lately, this video is worth your 7 minutes. There's a reason the gap between resale and new home sales exists right now — and your buyers can benefit from it.

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.
