🏡 Penn Valley Snapshot

The local market continues to lean slightly in favor of sellers, with a 1.46 months’ supply of inventory—up 24% from last month but still 32% lower than last year.

Pricing trends:

Median new listing price: $1,037,500

Medianactive listing price: $1,100,000

Median sold price: $1,370,000 (down just 1%)

With only six active listings in Penn Valley, competition is moderate. The sold-to-list ratio of 95.8% suggests a touch more negotiation room but steady buyer interest.

✨ Thinking about selling? Strategic pricing and standout presentation can make all the difference this fall.

Let’s chat! Coffee on me!☕️
