Sacramento County Home Prices Are Declining — What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
Home prices in Sacramento County are trending downward, creating important implications for both buyers and sellers. From November 2024 to November 2025, median home prices have declined by 4.2%, with an additional 1.7% drop compared to the previous month.
After peaking around $627,000 in July, the county’s average sold price has fallen to approximately $589,000 in November. This shift signals a more price-sensitive market where strategy matters more than ever.
For home sellers, correct pricing is critical. Overpricing a property in a declining market can lead to longer days on market, multiple price reductions, and ultimately a lower final sales price. Working with an experienced Realtor who understands current market trends can help ensure your home is priced to sell — not to sit.
For buyers, this market presents opportunity, but only if approached carefully. An experienced Realtor can help you evaluate true market value, negotiate effectively, and avoid overpaying as prices adjust.
