Over the past few weeks, between showing homes to clients, walking properties, and hosting a few open houses around Placer County…

…I’ve been paying attention to what buyers actually react to when they walk through a home.

The comments they make.

The questions they ask.

The things they notice immediately—and the things they quietly move past.

And honestly, it’s interesting.

Because while headlines tend to talk about “the housing market” like everything is moving in the same direction…

…it really doesn’t feel that way on the ground.

Some homes in places like Rocklin, Roseville, Loomis, Auburn, Granite Bay, Lincoln, and elsewhere around the Sacramento region are generating strong interest quickly.

Others are sitting.

And the…

New California Department of Finance data just came out…

…and Placer County had the fastest population growth of any county in the entire state over the past year.

- Placer County grew by 1.4% from 2025 to 2026, ranking #1 in California for population growth.

That’s a pretty significant statistic — especially at a time when many areas across California are seeing slower growth or even population declines.

And honestly…

…it helps explain a lot about why the Placer County housing market has remained so stable.

Why Population Growth Matters for the Placer County Housing Market

Real estate ultimately comes down to supply and demand.

Right now in Placer County:

  • More people are continuing to move here
  • Inventory of homes for…

April gave us a clearer look at how the spring market is unfolding here in Placer County.

And while a lot of what we’re seeing is typical for this time of year, there are a few important details worth paying attention to—especially if you’re thinking about buying or selling in the coming months.

Inventory & Sales Activity

We’re seeing the classic spring pattern start to take shape—more homes coming to market, with buyers still actively engaging.

  • Homes for sale are down 3.2% year-over-year, but up 13.2% from March
  • 417 homes sold in April, essentially flat year-over-year and slightly down month-over-month
  • 499 homes went pending, up 1.6% from last month and 5.1% from last year

What this means

New listings are picking up,…

There’s a lot of advice out there about buying and selling homes…

…but some of the things that actually make the biggest difference are the ones people don’t always think about.

In today’s Placer County real estate market—whether you’re in Rocklin, Roseville, Auburn, Loomis, or Lincoln—these small details can have a real impact on your results.

3 Tips for Sellers

1. Timing Your Listing Matters More Than You Think

If possible, list your home on a Wednesday or Thursday.

This helps:

  • Maximize online exposure heading into the weekend
  • Build momentum going into open houses
  • Give out-of-town buyers time to plan a visit to Placer County

That extra exposure can lead to more showings—and sometimes an extra offer or two, which…

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working with buyers who’ve seen it firsthand:

One home gets 5 offers.
Another gets 6.
And another… sits.

So what’s actually happening?

I pulled the numbers this week to get a clearer picture of what’s selling—and what’s not—in the Placer County real estate market right now.

The Big Picture

Right now, there are:

  • 963 homes for sale
  • 197 homes have been on the market for 90+ days and still haven’t sold

At the same time:

  • 432 homes sold in March
  • 79 of those had 3 or more offers

So while multiple offers are happening…

They’re happening to a very specific type of listing.

What the “Sitting” Homes Have in Common

When you look at the 197 homes that have been sitting…

Over the past two weeks, I’ve gotten a very clear reminder of how competitive parts of our market have become.

I’ve written offers for two separate clients on three different homes—and in every case, we ran into multiple offers:

  • A home in Springfield at Whitney Oaks (Rocklin) – 2 offers

  • A home in Roseville near Oakmont High School – 6 offers

  • A home in Rollingwood (Fair Oaks) – 2 offers

We successfully secured the Fair Oaks home, passed on the Springfield property, and were just barely outbid in Roseville.

At the same time:

  • Another client was interested in a home near Rocklin High—it received multiple offers before they were ready

  • Another was interested in a home in Orangevale with a great pool…

February’s numbers are in, and while the housing market continues to move through the typical early-year transition, the Placer County real estate market is still showing underlying strength as we move closer to the spring season.

Seasonality always plays a role during the first few months of the year, but several key indicators from February suggest that buyer activity is beginning to pick up again as we approach the busier months ahead.

Here’s a breakdown of what stood out last month—and what it means moving forward.

Inventory & Sales Activity

February remained firmly in seller’s market territory, with inventory still relatively limited compared to buyer demand.

Homes sold: 293 closed sales
• Up 12.7% from January
• Down 8.4%…

For the first time since Fall of 2022, mortgage rates have dipped below 6%.

On paper, that may not sound dramatic. But in real estate, psychology often matters just as much as math.

Let’s break down what this means — especially here in Placer County.

The Psychological Impact of “5%”

Here’s something interesting.

The difference in monthly payment between 6.1% and 5.98% on a $700,000 loan is relatively small. It’s not life-changing.

But psychologically?

It’s very different.

We haven’t seen a “5” in front of mortgage rates in years. Many buyers have mentally anchored their decision to move forward on that threshold. For some, crossing below 6% isn’t about the payment — it’s about momentum.

That shift in perception alone can…

There’s something I’ve noticed over the years in Placer County real estate.

The market doesn’t really wake up when the calendar says “spring.”

It wakes up right after the Super Bowl… and usually right around the first truly sunny, spring-like week.

You know the one —

Blossoms starting to pop.
Wildflowers showing up along the trails.
Green grass covering the hills again.
Patios full.
Open house traffic up.

There’s a real psychological shift that happens — and it shows up in the data.

The Super Bowl Effect

Ryan Lundquist of the Sacramento Appraisal Blog recently pointed out that in the Sacramento region, we typically see about a 25% increase in pending contracts between February and March, and some of the strongest days for new…
