Granite Bay Market UPDATES
Short, data-driven real estate updates covering prices, inventory, and buyer demand in Granite Bay, California.
Folsom's median sale price has climbed from $450K in 2015 to $767K this year, 70% higher in eleven years. Leah Brown walks through the long-term trend, this year's 15% jump in closed sales, and why 69% of August sellers still took less than their original asking price.
Waiting for mortgage rates to come down once meant waiting 21 years. Leah Brown puts today's 6.39% average in historical context, from the 1981 peak of 16.64% to the 2021 low of 2.96%, and explains why the cost of waiting belongs in the decision alongside the rate.

This week Leah looks across the lake at El Dorado Hills. The August median single family sale price came in at $920,000, down 6.6% from a year ago and still 37.3% above August 2019.
