📈 **June 2026 Placer County Market Update**

Are home prices still rising? Is inventory increasing? Are buyers gaining more leverage?

The latest MetroList data reveals some interesting trends across **Roseville and Granite Bay**, and the story isn't quite what many national headlines would have you believe.

🏡 In Roseville, home values continue to show strength, with homes selling at or above asking price and inventory remaining relatively limited.

✨ In Granite Bay, the luxury market is gaining momentum, with more homes selling and days on market declining significantly compared to the previous month.

In my latest market update, I break down:

✔️ Median home prices
✔️ Inventory levels
✔️ Days on market
✔️ Buyer and seller trends
✔️ What today's numbers mean if you're considering a move

The most important takeaway? Real estate remains hyper-local. What's happening nationally may look very different from what's happening right here in Placer County.

SOLD | 7542 Lakeshore Drive, Granite Bay

Some properties are truly one of a kind, and 7542 Lakeshore Drive was certainly one of them.

Hidden at the end of a private, tree-lined drive overlooking Folsom Lake, this special property offered panoramic lake views, exceptional privacy, direct access to Granite Bay's trail system, and a setting that simply cannot be replicated.

Representing the sale of this longtime family home was especially meaningful. While the property presented unique challenges during the escrow process, thoughtful communication, persistence, and cooperation among all parties helped bring the transaction to a successful close.

Congratulations to the sellers as they close one chapter and to the new owner as they begin the next.

If you're curious about the current value of your home or would like to discuss today's market, I'd be happy to help.

The Pricing Mistake That Could Cost You Your Sale

Many homeowners think listing high gives them room to negotiate. But in today’s market, pricing too high can actually cost you buyers — and money.

Here’s the reality:
📊 About 80% of sellers expect to get asking price or higher
📉 But only 40% actually do

Why? Because buyers today have more choices and are being more selective. If your home is priced too aggressively, many buyers won’t negotiate, they’ll simply move on.

The good news? Pricing your home correctly from day one can:
✅ Create more buyer interest
✅ Generate stronger offers
✅ Help you sell faster
✅ Position you to maximize your return

If you’re thinking about selling in Granite Bay, Roseville, or the surrounding area, understanding today’s market matters more than ever.
