Latest Monthly Snapshot
September 2026
Monthly Pricing Trends for Nevada County
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Nevada County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Nevada County home values have risen notably, with the typical home value up about 10 percent and list prices also higher than last September. Compared with statewide trends where prices have barely inched up, this area is seeing much stronger price appreciation.
In the latest September 2026 snapshot, the typical home value sits just under $700,000, while the median list price is a bit lower, suggesting some room for negotiation. Homes are also moving faster than a year ago, as the median days on market has dropped roughly 29 percent to about six weeks.
Inventory shows a mixed picture, with active listings down sharply from last year but months of supply holding near three and a half, close to the California average and pointing to a neutral market balance. With fewer sales and pending contracts than a year ago yet a growing share of homes selling above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio near 99 percent, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to navigate pricing and timing decisions effectively.

Nevada County offers residents a balanced, high-quality lifestyle with abundant outdoor recreation, vibrant communities, and accessible services and opportunities.
Nevada County combines historic foothill towns with practical access to both Sacramento and the Lake Tahoe region, appealing to year round residents, commuters, and remote workers. Centered on Nevada County itself, the area includes Grass Valley, Nevada City, and communities like Truckee, each offering distinct housing options from in town bungalows to forested acreage and mountain condos.
Daily life is shaped by the outdoors and strong community services. Residents enjoy hiking and river access along the South Yuba River State Park, scenic skiing and summer activities at Tahoe Donner, and local trails maintained by Bear Yuba Land Trust.

Historic downtowns feature independent shops, galleries, and dining, while everyday needs are covered by regional grocers, medical centers, and local transit connections.

“Payal is a good person, very supportive and communicative. She always makes time to interact and showed me many places before I found "the one", and I wouldn't have found it without her. She is knowledgeable and trustworthy.”
“I worked with Megan twice: first when I bought my home, and again six years later when I sold it. Both times she was outstanding. When I was buying, Megan asked a lot of thoughtful questions to understand what I actually needed and wanted, and she came with me to every showing. She paid attention to how I felt about each house we saw and based her recommendations on my reactions, which helped us zero in on the right place. She also suggested areas I hadn’t considered and was incredibly informative about the different builders and neighborhoods, which helped me feel confident in my decision. When a relocation meant I had to sell, I wasn’t going to be in the area to handle the details. Megan took care of everything for me, from start to finish. She arranged the inspection, the stager, and the cleaners, so I didn’t have to coordinate any of it from a distance. When an incident the day before closing required a repair, she handled that too. My house sold in just 6 days, and we received a little more than the asking price. I can’t recommend Megan highly enough. If you want a realtor who is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly looks out for you, she’s the one to call.”
“We met Jordan at an open house on our street, after having interviewed several agents regarding the sale of our home. Jordan called me a week later to follow up and gauge my interest in his listing. I asked Jordan to meet the next morning. We immediately signed a listing agreement. The choice of Jordan as our selling agent proved to be an excellent move. Jordan immerses himself in data. He understands the local market and had the correct view of the real estate trends in our specific neighborhood. Jordan responded quickly to calls and text messages alike. Jordan asked enough of the right questions to grasp our goals and desires related to the sale. He advocated for us, treating our interest as his top priority. The buyer’s broke turned escrow and closing into a fiasco by failing to file forms and by inaccurately relaying his client’s statements. Throughout the unnecessarily brutal escrow and closing process, Jordan’s expertise, manner and grit kept the process moving forward. Jordan got the job done with aplomb, remaining outwardly positive and focusing on closing the deal. Recommending Jordan as a real estate agent—that’s an easy call. Whether you are buying, selling, or simply thinking about it, I encourage you to call or text Jordan. Additionally, I enthusiastically recommend Jordan as a wonderful human being.”
“We had such a great experience working with Eric! We are first time homebuyers and honestly had very little knowledge at first about how everything worked or what we needed to do. Eric was so great at explaining everything and making sure we understood what was happening every step of the way. It took us almost two years to find the right house, and we dragged him all over different counties looking at homes. He was always patient with us and never made us feel rushed. He was especially amazing during closing week! He stayed on top of everything, made sure things were getting done, and kept us updated multiple times a day. Anytime we had a question, he was always quick to answer our texts or calls. He made what could have been a really stressful process so much easier, and we’re so thankful for all the time and effort he put into helping us find our home. We would recommend Eric to anyone looking for a realtor!”
“Neal was fantastic to work with, and we can’t recommend him highly enough! My wife and I weren’t actively looking to buy a new home when we unexpectedly stumbled upon our dream home. Since we didn’t have a real estate agent at the time, we reached out to Neal, who had previously sold several homes on the same street, as well as another highly recommended realtor. What immediately set Neal apart was his responsiveness, initiative, and willingness to go above and beyond. While the other realtor suggested we obtain pre-approval before taking the next steps, Neal had already previewed the property, begun evaluating its value, and started putting together a strategy for our offer. He also connected us with a mortgage broker to get the pre-approval process moving. His proactive approach and sense of urgency made our decision to work with him an easy one. Throughout the entire home-buying process, Neal was professional, attentive, and incredibly thorough. He stayed on top of every detail, from our initial offer and negotiations to the final walkthrough. He communicated regularly, coordinated seamlessly with the seller’s agent and our lender, and made sure everything stayed on track. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, we were able to close on our dream home in less than 30 days! What we appreciated most about Neal was that he genuinely cared about helping us secure the right home, rather than simply completing a transaction. His professionalism, work ethic, and attention to detail gave us tremendous confidence throughout the process. We’re incredibly grateful for everything Neal did for us and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Sedar did an outstanding job helping me sell my property in Antioch, California. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated to getting the best possible results. She made the entire selling process smooth and stress-free by keeping me informed, answering my questions, and guiding me through every step. Selling a home can be challenging, but Sedar handled everything with confidence, excellent communication, and great attention to detail. Her understanding of the local market, marketing efforts, and negotiation skills made a real difference throughout the process. I truly appreciate her hard work, honesty, and commitment to her clients. If you’re looking to buy or sell a property in Antioch or the surrounding areas, I highly recommend Sedar. She goes above and beyond to deliver excellent service, and I would absolutely work with her again! Thank you, Sedar, for making this such a positive experience!”
“If you’re a home buyer, you want someone as skillful, patient, and responsive as David LeBoeuf on your side. From the moment you meet him, it’s clear that he is a people person. His incredible expertise of the area, wealth of experience, and his top notch ability to negotiate on your behalf all make him the perfect person to represent you. He adds a personable touch so that it doesn’t feel like a business transaction, rather, he comes alongside you to ensure you’re buying a home you’ll absolutely love. As first time home buyers, my husband and I truly felt taken care of every step of the way by David.”
“We picked Deanne to list our home because we had seen her work and professionalism in action with some friends of ours when they sold some LOP homes. Deanne took the time to make sure the listing price was correct and did not get caught up in trying to get to much for the property. Deanne was very professional in how she handled the buyers and the prosective buyers that looked at our home. We would recommend her to anyone in the Auburn CA area looking to buy or sell a home without a second thought.”
“Karam was absolutely amazing to work with. Very professional, responsive, patient and knowledgeable. For couple of months he did everything to help us rent our our property. He was available to talk any time I had many questions and problems to solve. I really recommend Karam as an agent for any of your real estate needs.”
“We had a great experience working with Linda throughout the purchase of our home in Roseville. Buying from out of the area while using a VA loan added some extra moving pieces, and Linda was always responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to help us work through them. She helped us navigate the inspections, appraisal, negotiations, repair requests, and the closing process, and she was always available when we had questions or needed something handled quickly. We especially appreciated having someone familiar with Roseville and Placer County who also understood the VA home-buying process. Linda genuinely cared about getting our family into the right home and made what can be a stressful process much easier. We’re very happy with our new home and would absolutely recommend Linda to anyone looking to buy a home in the Roseville or Placer County area, especially fellow military families or anyone using a VA loan.”
“I have used Matthew for 2 purchases now. He has proven to have a unique ability to navigate challenging deals and use out of the box negotiation methods. We were able buy both houses for well under market and avoid a few preparties that that, in hindsight, would have been bad deals. Matthew has also helped me prepare my rental property for rent for the first time. His expertise for this niche got us over 40 qualified prospective tenants in 72 hours, and helped us decide on a great couple that has been amazing to work with. I have learned that when you talk about real estate, everyone claims to be an expert but few actually are. I can't see my self using any other agent for any future endeavors. - Highly recommend!”
“As first-time home buyers, my wife and I entered the real estate market feeling completely overwhelmed. We had an endless list of questions, but working with Peter made the entire process smooth, manageable, and genuinely enjoyable. From day one, Peter was incredibly responsive and patient. We were definitely on the picky side and wanted to see a wide variety of properties before making a decision. Peter never rushed us; he happily took us to view dozens of homes until we found the right fit. You could tell that he wasn't just trying to make a quick sale—he had our absolute best interests at heart every step of the way. His support didn't stop at finding houses, either. Whenever we needed recommendations for home service professionals—whether for detailed home inspections or reliable plumbing contractors—Peter immediately had top-notch referrals ready to go. Thanks to Peter's dedication, expertise, and guidance, we officially closed on our dream home. If you are looking for a real estate agent who will truly advocate for you and go above and beyond, we cannot recommend Peter highly enough!”
“I had such an amazing experience working with Nicole. She truly went above and beyond every step of the way and made the entire process so much easier and less stressful. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely caring. She always made me and my kids feel like a priority and was willing to do whatever it took to help us reach our goals both as a buyer and a seller. Her attention to detail, and commitment was truly exceptional. Beyond being an outstanding real estate agent, I always felt we were in good hands and could trust Nicole completely. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent.”
“It was a relief to work with someone who immediately demonstrated key qualities like trustworthiness, dedication, and skill. Kim lead us to our dream home. She held our hands when needed expertly shepherding us through a potentially arduous process. Kim never seemed to stop working for us, always reaching out with relevant information and instructions, sometimes even during the hours of my “do not disturb” settings. When did she relax? Kim’s commitment and high standards are evident in her own work, but also in the work of the expert real estate colleagues with which she affiliates. Our new home is the best thing about the whole process, but choosing Kim to help us find it, runs a close second.”
“We had almost given up on our dream of living in Sacramento when Carmen came into our lives. We were ready to settle for the suburbs, but she scraped us off the floor, talked us off the edge, and reminded us not to give up. Carmen was patient, persistent, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in finding our home—not just making a sale. When our home finally came on the market, she helped us make it ours, and we still can’t quite believe it! Carmen didn’t just help us buy a house; she helped us hold onto a dream we had almost given up on. She’ll be the first—and only—person we call when we’re ready to jump back into the market. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“I cannot recommend Brendan Mohr highly enough. After my mother passed away, I became the successor trustee responsible for selling her multimillion-dollar luxury home. It was an overwhelming responsibility, especially after another real estate agent had already listed the property and was unsuccessful in selling it. I contacted Brendan because of his experience with trust sales and luxury real estate, and the difference was immediate. He came in with a detailed, multi-step plan to properly prepare the home for the market, position it correctly, and create a marketing strategy designed specifically for the property. He coordinated everything and made what could have been a very stressful trust sale much easier for me to manage. The results were incredible. Within approximately one week of putting the home on the market, we received four offers. We accepted an excellent offer and closed the sale within a month. Brendan understands that selling a luxury home as a successor trustee is very different from an ordinary real estate transaction. He understands the responsibilities involved in a trust sale, communicates exceptionally well, and knows how to prepare, market, and negotiate the sale of a high-value property. If you are a successor trustee looking for an experienced Sacramento real estate agent to handle the sale of a luxury home or property held in a trust, I would absolutely recommend Brendan Mohr. After seeing firsthand what he was able to accomplish when another agent could not, I would not hesitate to work with him again.”
“If I could give Anthony six stars I would. He was great to work with. He responded to every question I asked he’s very knowledgeable about the real estate market. Above all, Anthony has integrity and honesty. I will be referring all my friends to him in the future. Thank you again Anthony Ted V.”
“Chris did a phenomenal job helping my wife and me find our dream home. Chris was patient, knowledgeable, and helped us negotiate a great deal on our home. We will be forever grateful for his guidance and expertise throughout the process. If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond for his clients, Chris is the guy to call!”
“Kara performed an outstanding job. Her responsiveness and 24/7 availability was a key component while looking for rare beach properties. Additional benefit was her off market property resources.”
