**Placer County Home Prices: Loomis & Lincoln Are the Bright Spots**

Are home prices going up or down?

The answer depends on the local market.

I recently reviewed pricing trends across 14 counties in the Bay Area to Sacramento region. Overall, prices are down slightly — about 0.3% over the past 12 months.

But when we zoom into Placer County, the story changes.

Placer County prices are up 1.1% overall.
Homes over $1 million are up 2.6%, while homes under $1 million are up only 0.3%.

A few local markets really stand out:

✅ Loomis: Up 11.7%
✅ Lincoln: Up 8.3%
➡️ Roseville: Basically flat
⬇️ Granite Bay: Down 3.1%
⬇️ Rocklin: Down 4.5%

The biggest takeaway: not every market is moving in the same direction.

Loomis and Lincoln are clearly showing the strongest pricing trends, while other nearby communities are flatter or softer.

For buyers and sellers, local data matters much more than national headlines. A pricing strategy in Loomis may look very different from a pricing strategy in Roseville, Rocklin, Granite Bay, or Lincoln.

Shopping for a mortgage without asking for the Loan Estimate is a little like buying a car after only asking, “What’s the monthly payment?” 🚗💸

The Loan Estimate shows the numbers that really matter:

✔ Interest rate
✔ Monthly payment
✔ Closing costs
✔ Lender fees
✔ Cash needed to close

Your electric bill doesn't have to be terrifying this summer. A few simple swaps make a bigger difference than you'd think.

🪟 Keep blinds and curtains closed during peak sun hours — especially south and west facing windows
🌀 Use ceiling fans to circulate cool air and run them counterclockwise in summer
🕯️ Swap out incandescent bulbs — they generate more heat than you realize
🍳 Cook outside or use small appliances instead of heating up the oven
🌙 Open windows at night when temps drop to let cool air in naturally

Your home should feel like a retreat this summer — not a sauna. 😄

🏡 LOCAL MARKET UPDATE — Loomis • Penryn • Newcastle

A lot of buyers currently feel like they finally have more control in the real estate market… but the numbers tell a more balanced story.

Here’s what the market currently looks like across Loomis, Penryn, and Newcastle California:

• 79 active homes
• 34 pending homes
• 27 homes sold in the last 30 days
• 3.9 months of inventory
• Home prices still up about 1% year-over-year

That puts the local housing market in what I would consider a neutral market overall.

Buyers definitely have more choices compared to the last few years, and negotiations have become more common. At the same time, properly priced homes are still selling and strong properties continue attracting attention.

One of the biggest mistakes sellers can make right now is pricing based on what happened during the peak frenzy market instead of where today’s buyers are positioned.

If you have questions about the local market, home values, or timing a move in Placer County, feel free to reach out anytime.
