2022 had been another tremendous year for real estate. Prices continued its upward trend. In 2022, the Greater Sacramento market including Elk Grove became sizzling hot until August.  For a thorough discussion on the Sacramento market trends, click here to read an analysis by Ryan Lundquist a well known analyst in this region.

Since late 2022, the Greater Sacramento market had shifted. It is no longer a sellers market, often times, sellers had to mark down their prices, and adjusted their expectations. Towards the later part of 2023, the market continued to shift.  According to the Sacramento Association of Realtors, Median sales price decreased 4.2% from $548,000 in October to $525,000 in November 2023, a 2.9% increase  from November 2022 ($510,000). Market conditions slowed down largely due to interest rates which increased to the mid seven percent range in early December 2023.Since then, interest rates came down to around 6.5% However, people from the SF Bay Area continue to migrate to the Greater Sacramento region.  Feel free to call us to get a thorough assessment of the market, a free CMA and honest advice whether you should sell your property now.
