West Sacramento stayed tight even as national inventory improved

Real estate, West Sacramento

Realtor.com says national active listings rose 7.4% in October 2026. Here in West Sacramento, the story is different.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 72 homes for sale in 95691 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 6.5% from a year before.

So what does that mean? Buyers here may still have fewer homes to choose from, even as choices grow elsewhere.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put months of supply at 2.4 months, down 1.1 months from a year earlier. That is a tighter market, not a looser one.

Meanwhile, Realtor.com says national inventory is still 6.6% below typical pre-pandemic levels, even after October's gain. Nationally, things are loosening slowly. Locally, they tightened.

What actually happened to homes here

More homes sold, but prices dipped a little. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows the median sale price fell 5.9% to $555,000.

So what does that mean for sellers? Homes are still moving fast, just not always at last year's price.

Homes sold for 98.7% of list price on average, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is down just 0.2 points from a year before.

More homes also sold above list. The Real Estate Data Aggregator found 28.6% sold above list price, up 2.1 points from last year.

So what does that mean for buyers? Some homes still draw competing offers, even with fewer homes on the market.

Fewer homes went under contract within two weeks this year. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put that share at 41%, down 5.8 points from a year before.

That is a small sign things are not moving as fast as the headline numbers suggest, even if 26 days is still quick.

One street can look nothing like the whole ZIP code. A quiet block on Stone Boat Way can move slower than the averages here.

I would like to hear what you are seeing on your own street.
