I’ll be away from my desk this week. No blog post. No stats. Hope everyone has an incredible week. Looking forward to conversation next week.

What price ranges are selling? Here's a look at closed sales volume in the Sacramento region so far this year. If you work in real estate, where are you positing your business? What price points and locations are you talking about in your content? About 8.5% of homes sold under $400K while 9.8% sold above $1M. A whopping 42.9% of homes sold between $400K to $600K.

Fresh stats. Most areas sold about 1% to 2% below their original asking price last month. Overall, it’s been a little more competitive this year compared to one year ago. We should expect to see slightly more competitive stats this year since we are beginning to compare to a dull year in 2025.

Remember, some homes go way above or way below. This is the average of all homes together.

I usually don’t push out the sales to original list price ratio. Should I start sharing this more? Or no?

Wait, are home prices up again? Technically, yes. Here’s a good way to think about the trend. This is super important to understand for anyone trying to interpret the housing market.

More on my blog.

The last thing we probably need sellers to see is technical price stats that are up compared to one year ago. “Bro, the market is rising. Let me price higher.”

Are home prices up now? Price metrics in May are higher than one year ago in many local counties. What does this mean? Is the market rebounding? More on my weekly blog. This is so important to understand. Also, let’s talk about that private island listing that’s gone viral over the past week. 

A private island listed for sale last week in the local market, and it's getting viral attention, so let's talk about it. Also, price metrics are now HIGHER than one year ago. What does that mean? Has the housing market started to rebound? Are we so back? Let's get into it. UPCOMING SPEAKING GIGS: 6...

Here are the top 100 cities for sales volume so far in 2026 in the wider region. This represents twelve local counties. I thought it would be interesting to see where certain areas rank in the wider region. And I know, tiny font.

NOTE: Sacramento is the largest, but some locations in the county are listed as city in MLS. All segment that better the next time.

You could buy two tickets on the floor tonight for Game 3 of the NBA finals, or there are 28 current home listings in the Sacramento region priced under $280,000.

Don’t get stuck in the past. It’s going to take longer to sell today. Too many sellers are expecting 2021 vibes in 2026. Look, homes can still go quickly today. In fact, 31% of sales in May were on the market for less than one week. It’s just not 2021 lightning speed.

Here’s a map of listings in the Sacramento region. It looks like there are so many, but the number of listings is actually a little lower than one year ago (and significantly lower than a more normal year like 2019). My advice? Be careful of interpreting the trend with one map.

What’s happening with sellers? The low point of seller activity was 2023, and we’ve improved since then, but sellers backed off in mid-2025, and both April and May 2026 have been lackluster. In short, it’s still thin out there with the number of listings hitting the market. At least it’s not 2023…
