March 2026 is shaping up to be a competitive spring in the Sacramento corridor. Inventory remains tight — we're sitting at roughly 1.8 months of supply in El Dorado Hills and Folsom, well below the 4–6 months considered a balanced market. That's keeping prices firm even as higher mortgage rates have slowed buyer velocity compared to the peaks of 2021–22.
The $550k–$750k range is the most active price band right now, particularly in El Dorado Hills, where move-up buyers and relocating families from the Bay Area continue to compete for well-maintained single-family homes with good school access. Multiple-offer situations are common on homes priced correctly from day one.
For buyers: Getting pre-approved before you tour is no longer optional — it's the price of admission. Sellers are choosing speed and certainty. If you're on the fence about timing, spring is historically when the best inventory comes to market, so this month matters. For sellers: Presentation and pricing precision are everything. Overpriced homes are sitting — the market is not forgiving of homes that start high and chase the price down.
