Relocating? Sacramento CA? 50+ Resources (+ 2018 Updated Real Estate Trends)

Thank you for sharing....

Greater Sacramento Area Move

Relocating? Sacramento CA? Totally scared and not sure where to start? Or perhaps you've been a long-time resident but are curious about what direction the real estate market trends for the greater Sacramento Valley are heading? I've got plenty of info and resources for you!

Relocation Resources

If you are relocating to Sacramento CA area, you'll have lots of questions. Fortunately there are plenty of answers and other good info to be found at our local Sacramento area city and visitors' pages and sites including for the cities of Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Fair Oaks, and Carmichael.

City Websites

Interestingly enough, not all cities in our Sacramento CA area, such as Carmichael and Fair Oaks, have their own websites. Fortunately, most do.

  • Roseville CA
  • Folsom CA City Site
  • Sacramento, CA Visitors Info

Resources to help you when relocating Sacramento CA

Visitors Centers

Every year, there are many people relocating to the greater Sacramento CA Area. Happily for them, there are some great Visitors Centers with useful information about events and fun happenings in and around our lovely valley. Here are several to help you:

  • Sacramento Visitor's Center
  • Sacramento Visitors' Guide
  • Moving to Sacramento – This isn't a visitor's center but it is a very fun and interesting article that gives a good overview for visitors and relocators alike.
  • Old Sacramento Visitors Info
  • Sacramento County Visitor's Center
  • Placer Valley – Roseville Rocklin Lincoln – Tourism/Visitors Center
  • Placer County Visitors Center
  • Folsom Visitor's Center

Chambers of Commerce

Chambers of Commerce can be very useful resources and each of the featured cities has one. In fact, Sacramento has several. I've listed two for Sacramento to get you started. The rest are quite easy to find as well. 😉

  • Metro Chamber
  • East Sacramento Chamber of Commerce
  • Carmichael Chamber of Commerce
  • Fair Oaks Chamber of Commerce
  • Folsom Chamber of Commerce
  • Roseville Chamber of Commerce

Malls and Shopping Centers

Nowadays, many malls have become destinations in their own rights, with so many fun events on top of the great shopping options, restaurants, sometimes movie theaters, and more! That is definitely true in our greater Sacramento Placer County Area. They can also be a great place for visitors and those relocating Sacramento CA to stop for something to eat while reviewing where they've been and deciding where to go. And for those moving with teenagers and tweens, knowing where they are and what they're like can help you pick the areas you want to house hunt in. That was a vital point for us when we moved here with new and soon-to-be-new drivers!

  • Arden Fair Mall Sacramento CA
  • Sunrise Mall Citrus Heights CA (near Carmichael and Fair Oaks)
  • Folsom Premium Outlets
  • Westfield Galleria at Roseville CA
  • The Fountains at Roseville

Sacramento Area Real Estate Market Report Past Year

When you are relocating to Sacramento CA, it definitely helps to know the real estate market prices and trends. We have been in the midst of a SELLERS' MARKET for some time and that looks to continue in 2018. Here are some charts to help with that. As you can see from this first chart – for Sacramento, Placer and El Dorado County homes for the past year, we had our normal holiday lull. While we are still short on houses (Ready to sell? We definitely need more houses for all the clients lining up to buy!),  it has perked up from last year very nicely. Compared to 12 months ago, our area has 21.3% more homes for sale, 45.8% more homes sold, and 15.1% more homes pending. Good news for all those purchasers!

Price per square foot has gone up since last year as well, from an average of $207 per square foot to an average of $221 per square foot. You'll notice it also dipped for the holidays, but in this seller's market, I'm expecting it to climb even higher come spring and summer. And I'm definitely not the only one who feels that way!
