Information and statistics on the latest trends in the El Dorado County real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Inventory in El Dorado County is relatively limited, with 636 homes on the market and 3.9 months of supply. New listings have dropped sharply, down about 32.68% from last year to 239, which is helping keep choices tight. Contract activity has also cooled, with pending sales down roughly 19.93% year over year and 225 homes currently under contract.
Pricing is holding up despite slower activity. The typical home value is about $710,000, only slightly below the California average of $820,800, and has inched up 1.79% over the last month even as it’s down 1.39% from a year ago. Sellers are still getting close to asking price, with homes selling for about 97.39% of list on average, though only 18.18% of sales close above list and about 19.81% of active listings have had a price drop.
Homes are taking longer to move, sitting a median of 74 days on the market, which is nearly 80.49% higher than a year ago even after a sizeable month-over-month improvement of 18.68%. Looking ahead to March 2026, both the typical home value and median list price are projected to edge up to around $716,250 and $763,500, while inventory may slip slightly to 627 homes. With conditions still tilted toward sellers, but buyers gaining a bit more time and leverage, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an El Dorado County agent who understands these trends and can guide them through their next move.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
El Dorado County offers residents a vibrant mix of outdoor recreation, close-knit communities, and convenient access to parks, events, and services that support a high quality of life.
El Dorado County stands apart from nearby Sacramento and Placer County by pairing everyday convenience with a strong sense of foothill and mountain community. From the historic storefronts of Placerville to the lakeside neighborhoods around El Dorado Hills, you feel a distinct local pride shaped by gold rush history, open space, and year round recreation.
Residents enjoy quick escapes to Sly Park Recreation Area and Lake Tahoe for hiking, boating, and winter sports, while wineries along the El Dorado Wine Country trails offer relaxed weekends closer to home. Families value strong schools such as Oak Ridge High School and a network of libraries including the El Dorado County Library. In-town, favorite stops like Placerville’s Main Street and the El Dorado Hills Town Center host community events, farmers markets, and local dining.
For buyers, competition can vary sharply between foothill cabins, family neighborhoods, and larger rural parcels, so understanding micro markets and seasonal trends is crucial. Sellers benefit from pricing and presentation that highlight what makes their specific community, school zone, and lifestyle so desirable compared with nearby options.
Whether you are moving within El Dorado County or arriving from outside the region, timing and preparation matter. Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate professional who understands these communities in detail and is ready to guide both buyers and sellers from planning to closing.

“We had a wonderful buying experience with Jessica. We were new to the area and Jessica did a great job showing us all the different towns. We decided on Granite Bay where Jessica was able to find the perect home and off market as well! Highly recommend.”
“Herbert was a huge help for us. He was very responsive and always made himself available when we needed him no matter what time of the day. For a first time homebuyer like me, I was anxious and had a lot of questions about everything... and Herbert was always there patiently explaining and teaching us how the process works. He made homebuying enjoyable! It is nice to have someone to trust in making decisions like buying a house, and with Herbert you will feel that he got your back and he will work to get you the best deal. He was transparent with the transactions and negotiations and worked with our best interest and needs/wants in mind. Thank you very much, Herbert!”
“Deanne, was awesome. She understood my needs and worked to exceed expectations. Response times & follow through were excellent. Thank you for managing my purchase needs & your professional advice. I moved back from Idaho, very happy to be back in Auburn & what an awesome welcome back! Thanks Deanne for working with me from another state to get me back home!”
“As first time home buyers, we are incredibly thankful to have Jason as our realtor. He was patient, thorough, and communicative throughout the entire home buying process. From day one, he helped us establish realistic goals and expectations. There were never any feelings of pressure and each showing we went to was never rushed. He offered honest feedback and his insight was invaluable, especially since we knew nothing about home buying in the slightest. We spent several weeks together looking at homes before finally coming across one we absolutely loved. He guided us through putting in an offer and was available at any time of day for all our questions and concerns. He handled everything for us after the offer was approved, including wonderful recommendations for home/roof inspections. We can’t recommend him enough. If you value honesty, dedication, patience, and authenticity, he is your realtor!”
“I was completely lost, no idea how or what to do, Jimmy walked me through all of it and I am completly satisfied with the outcome”
“I have to say from our first meeting I found Linda to be very pleasant, proffessioal and informative. This was reasuring to me as this was the first experience my wife and I have had with the process of buying a home. I was QUITE NERVOUS about buying a home for the first time, (and it did not help that I don't trust most people) but I have to say that Linda put me at ease with her explanation of the process, and what to look for when it comes to perchasing a home. We let her know what we were looking for, what we could afford and what area we wanted to live in. Linda MORE than met all of our expectation. I would HIGHLY recommend Linda to anyone looking for a pleasant and positive experience when it comes to buying a home!”
“Jason was an exceptional realtor, he found exactly what we were looking for. He, explained all the details of housebuying and answered all of our questions throughout the entire process, he was extremely responsive! Once we explained what we were looking for he ensure all the homes we viewed checked our boxes, once we found the right home he was extremely thorough through the entire closing process, we couldn't have asked for a better realtor! 10 Out 10 recommend!! Jason was amazing!!”
“Carmen was awesome to work with! Super friendly, easy to talk to, and always on top of things. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and you can tell she really cares about her clients. Definitely recommend her to anyone buying or selling!”
“At our first meeting Gautam had an accurate understanding of my neighborhood and it's surroundings. After walking through the house and the yards he gave a clear assessment of our home's value and the reasons why. He also had an idea of what types of buyers would likely show interest, and how to market our home to them. He had an excellent advertising package in mind. One day after being on the market we received a full-price offer. It fell through, but in line were two more full-price offers. The second potential buyer became the buyer. There were three issues with the property that arose and he handled them all. That was especially helpful as we were already out-of-state. The house sold without further issues. Gotham was easy to work with, and his expertise gave me confidence that things would be well-handled. I recommend Gautam highly, and would recommend him to family and friends.”
“Deanne went above and beyond and her professionalism and expertise shined from stsrt to finish. We were beyond pleased that Deanne represented us for the sale of our property. We will be sure to use her ercices again in the future or refer her to friends and family. Thank you Deanne, you are a shinning star.”
“Laurel is very knowledgeable in all aspects of buying and selling. This is the second time we have worked with her. We live in another state so having someone we trusted was crucial.
