Sacramento home values and housing data, from records we hold.
The figures for Sacramento’s homes below are computed from records we hold ourselves — county parcels swept into our own store, plus 1,038 automated value estimates in a sample that covers part of Sacramento — not scraped from another site. A figure from anywhere else — a survey’s rate, an example price, a published metro reading — is named as that where it appears.

How much are homes in Sacramento, CA estimated to be worth?
$492,200 is the middle of 1,038 automated value estimates in a sample that covers part of Sacramento — not sale prices, and not a citywide median. The middle half of that sample runs from $395,650 to $650,425. Each estimate is a model's output for one home — a starting point, not an appraisal.
What does a typical Sacramento home look like?
Across 207,717 residential county parcels in Sacramento: the median home is 1,442 square feet with 3 bedrooms, built around 1976 (about 50 years old), on a 6,534 sq ft lot. 90% of parcels are single-family homes and 4% are condominiums.
What does it cost to sell a home in Sacramento?
Commission is negotiable; there is no standard rate. As an example, on a $550,000 home the 5.46% national average total commission in the Clever Real Estate survey of 434 agents, August 2026, which adds the listing and buyer-agent sides together, is about $30,030, and each point of commission is about $5,500. $550,000 is an example price for a home in Sacramento, not a statistic. Escrow, title and other closing costs are separate and are not estimated here. Run your own numbers in the Sacramento commission calculator.
How do Sacramento home values compare with other California cities?
Sacramento's figure is $492,200, the middle of 1,038 automated value estimates in a sample that covers part of Sacramento — not sale prices, and not a citywide median. The same figure for the other California cities we hold a sample for: San Diego $1,188,600 (1,055 estimates), Los Angeles $1,430,600 (1,020) and San Jose $1,555,550 (1,042). Each sample covers part of its city, and a different part in each, so the order of these figures is not a ranking of the cities. To compare the cities themselves, use a published citywide or metro figure rather than these samples.
How much do home values vary within Sacramento?
Inside the sample we hold, the 25th-percentile estimate is $395,650 and the 75th is $650,425 — the top of the middle half sits 64% above the bottom, a wide band. That is the spread of 1,038 automated value estimates in a sample that covers part of Sacramento, not of the whole city. What a home in East Sacramento, Land Park or Midtown is worth depends on the age and condition of the housing stock, which swings hard between pre-war and new-build tracts, so recent sales within a few blocks say more about one home than the middle of any sample.
How old are Sacramento's homes, and what kind are they?
The median Sacramento home was built around 1976, which makes the typical house about 50 years old — 1970s construction. Buyers price that age into their offer: roofs, wiring, plumbing and windows of that era are either already replaced or on the list, and the county record shows which. The median parcel is a 6,534 sq ft lot (about 0.15 acres), the conventional suburban footprint. Single-family homes are 90% of parcels; condominiums are rare here. These are medians across all 207,717 residential parcels we hold for Sacramento, not a sample.
What is the Sacramento housing market doing right now?
The typical mid-tier home value across the Sacramento, CA metro area was $574,820 as of August 2026; the median sale price was $574,750 (August 2026); 37.6% of homes sold above asking and the average sale closed at 99.3% of list; 2,059 new listings came to market in August 2026. That is a balanced market: pricing discipline decides whether a home sells in weeks or sits. Our own figure is a different kind of number: $492,200 is the middle of 1,038 automated value estimates in a sample that covers part of Sacramento — not sale prices, and not a citywide median. The metro figures cover the whole metro area and are not a valuation of any one home.
How do I find out what my own Sacramento home is worth?
Enter your address on this page. We look up the county record for your home — size, lot, year built, last recorded sale — and show an automated estimate beside it, with no phone number and no agent calling you. Then, if you choose, post the home once: up to ten Sacramento agents, ranked by verified performance and never by payment, each send a sealed proposal with their own pricing opinion and their fee in writing. So several written opinions of price and fee are worth more here than any single estimate.
Where these numbers come from
We maintain our own store of county assessor parcel records — 207,717 of them for Sacramento so far, growing daily. Housing-stock figures are medians across 207,717 county assessor parcel records held first-party. Value figures come from 1,038 automated estimates, most fetched in August 2026, for homes among the 207,717 Sacramento parcel records we hold. The sample was drawn when we held records for part of Sacramento, so its middle is not a citywide median; automated estimates are not sale prices or appraisals. No figure is scraped from another website.
