Folsom Housing Market Report
A clear, data-driven look at home prices, buyer demand, and selling speed in Folsom, California (ZIP 95630) — the region’s fastest-moving, highest-volume market. Refreshed every quarter with the latest MLS data by Powell Real Estate.
The region’s momentum leader
Folsom was the busiest and fastest market of the first half of 2026. Closed sales jumped 17.7% to 405 — the highest volume of the four communities Powell tracks — while homes went under contract in a median of just 13 days, unchanged from a year ago and the quickest pace in the region.
Prices, meanwhile, held essentially flat: the median eased 1.7% to $769,000, the average slipped 1.4%, and price per square foot was virtually unchanged at $373. That mix — steady prices, surging volume, lightning-fast sales — describes a market where deep, affordable-relative-to-its-neighbors demand keeps homes moving quickly.
Buyer’s market or seller’s market?
Folsom is an active seller’s market, driven by volume and velocity rather than rising prices. With homes selling in a median of 13 days, 2.2 offers on average, and a third going over list, sellers who price right are rewarded quickly — while the sheer number of transactions still gives buyers plenty of choice.
