As we gather with friends and family today, I want to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones a warm and joyful Thanksgiving. This season always reminds me how fortunate I am to serve such an incredible community here in Placer County.

Thanksgiving week is here — which means great food, family time, and (let’s be honest) more slices of pie than any of us planned for. It’s also one of the best times of year to get outside in Placer County.

1. Upgrade Exterior Lighting

With shorter days and darker evenings, good lighting matters more than ever. Swap in LED floodlights, motion-sensing porch lights, or warm-toned landscape lighting to improve safety and add curb appeal. These small touches make your home shine — literally — especially around the holidays.

October brought a steady, balanced pace to the Placer County housing market. More homes were available compared to last year, prices held firm, and properties took a bit longer to sell — all signs of a healthy, stabilizing market that still leans toward sellers.

  • Sold: 441 homes, up 5.3% year-over-year, and down slightly (-2%) from September

  • Pending (Under Contract): Up 3.4% YoY, but down 7.1% from last month

  • New Listings: Down 3.7% YoY, showing fewer new properties entering the market
