The November 2025 market data reveals a split in regional trends, as San Joaquin County recorded positive momentum while neighboring Sacramento and Solano counties faced contractions. San Joaquin stood out with a median price increase of 1.9% year-over-year to $550,000, accompanied by a 3.5% rise in home sales. In contrast, Solano County experienced the most significant cooling, with the highest median price of $580,000 but a sharp 8.4% decline in sales volume and a 2.8% drop in year-over-year pricing. Sacramento County followed a similar downward trajectory in valuation, with its median price settling at $535,000 following a 2.8% annual decrease and a modest 2.5% dip in sales activity.
Market velocity and inventory levels further highlight the differences in buyer demand across these territories. Sacramento remains the fastest-moving market with a median time on market of just 28 days and the tightest inventory at 2.9 months, suggesting competitive conditions despite the price corrections. Conversely, Solano County is seeing significantly slower absorption rates, with homes sitting on the market for a median of 57 days—more than double the pace of Sacramento. San Joaquin County occupies a middle ground with a healthy median time on market of 34 days, though it holds the highest supply levels with 4 months of unsold inventory, indicating a balanced environment that supports its current sales growth.
A balanced market typically has 4-6 months of inventory. Below that favors sellers, above favors buyers.
