If you're looking for a new home, selling your old one, or maybe just considering making the move to Sacramento, understanding the market out here can give you a real edge when it comes to buying and selling power. Today we are going to take a look at the Sacramento real estate market for January 2023 and provide some insight into what we saw over the last 30 days and what you can expect when it comes to buying, selling, or investing.

Home buyers in Sacramento are currently looking at a 60% increase in listings from this time last year. This means more homes for sale!

whereas the actual number of sales of homes has declined. Last December in 2021, there were more than 3900 homes sold in this area. Just a couple weeks ago in December 2022, home sales were down to 2150. That's a 45% decrease in sales in the Sacramento real estate market.

On top of that, the average sold price for homes here in Sacramento also decreased, going from $569,000 to $545,000.

This means that home buyers, not only do you currently have more inventory to choose from, but there's also less competition as sellers are starting to lose more and more of their power.

When comparing the original list price with the sold price you can get a better understanding of how the market is working. For example, if someone lists a home for sale at 500,000 and they sell it for 500,000, that means they made 100% of the original list price.

In 2020, 2021, and 2022, homes were selling for ABOVE 100% of the list price. They were making MORE money than expected.

Compared to last year, we are down 7%, sitting at a ratio of 93%. This means that buyers are still getting a great deal on homes, but sellers are not making as much money, making on average only 93% of what they listed it for.

It’s clear that the real estate market in Sacramento has shifted, and it’s important to understand all of the dynamics at play if you’re looking to buy or sell here. The key takeaway is that there is a large selection of homes available and that buyers now have more power in the market than they have had in a long time.
