Where Are Home Prices Headed This Summer?

Summer is here—and with it comes the busiest season in real estate. If you’re wondering whether now is the time to buy or sell, one key factor on everyone’s mind is: Where are home prices going?
📈 1. Price Growth Is Slowing—But Not Stopping
After several years of rapid appreciation, many markets (including Sacramento) are seeing more moderate price increases in 2025. Rising mortgage rates and affordability concerns have cooled demand just slightly, but low inventory continues to keep prices from falling.
🏘️ 2. Inventory Remains Tight
There simply aren’t enough homes on the market to meet demand. With fewer listings and many homeowners holding onto low interest rates, buyers are still competing for desirable properties—especially move-in ready homes in good locations.
💰 3. Sellers Still Have the Edge
While bidding wars may not be as intense as in recent years, homes priced well are still selling quickly, often above asking. For sellers, this summer could be a great time to list while competition is still limited.
🛍️ 4. Buyers May See More Negotiation Power
In some price brackets, buyers are seeing a little more room to negotiate. Price cuts on stale listings and seller concessions are more common than they were last year, especially on homes that need updates.
🧠 5. Local Trends Matter Most
Real estate is hyper-local. Sacramento’s continued job growth and population gains are keeping pressure on prices. Surrounding suburbs may see different patterns based on new construction, commute times, and school districts.
✅ Final Takeaway:
This summer, home prices are likely to remain steady or slightly higher—but not at the breakneck speed of past years. Whether you’re buying or selling, understanding your local market and working with an expert is key to making smart moves.
