Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Penn Valley is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge reading 30 on the seller’s side. Months of supply sit at 3.2 in this rolling three-month view, suggesting inventory is not especially deep. A relatively tight pool of homes helps explain why conditions lean in favor of sellers.
Prices show mixed movement when viewed year over year. The typical home value over the latest three months is down a bit, dipping about 4 percent from a year earlier, while the median list price has fallen more sharply, off more than 13 percent. Despite softer asking prices, buyers are still bidding strongly, with the average sale-to-list ratio up nearly 7 percent year over year to about 104 percent and half of recent sales closing above the list price. Homes are also moving through the pipeline more quickly than a year ago, as median days on market dropped roughly 49 percent in the same period.
Activity levels reflect a cooler listing environment but steady closings. New listings in this three-month window are down about 44 percent compared with a year earlier, and pending sales have fallen more than 60 percent, yet the number of homes sold has inched slightly higher. With only nine active listings in the latest period and more than two-thirds of homes going off the market within two weeks, well-priced properties can still attract quick offers. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these conditions effectively can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands the Penn Valley market.
Learn more about what Penn Valley has to offer.
Penn Valley offers residents a welcoming small-town lifestyle with vibrant community events, ample outdoor recreation, and convenient access to local shops, schools, and services.
Penn Valley offers a quieter, more rural lifestyle than nearby Grass Valley and Nevada City, yet still keeps you close to everyday essentials. Wide open spaces, rolling pastureland, and a strong equestrian culture shape daily life here, along with a close connection to nearby recreation at Lake Wildwood and the broader Nevada County area.
Community life centers on local institutions and outdoor amenities. Families appreciate access to schools like Penn Valley Union Elementary School District and nearby Nevada Joint Union High School District, while the Penn Valley Area Municipal Advisory Council gives residents a direct voice in local issues. Everyday errands and dining are anchored around the historic Penn Valley Chamber of Commerce area and surrounding businesses.
Outdoor enthusiasts value the scenery and access to recreation. Western Gateway Park offers sports fields, a disc golf course, and community events, while the nearby South Yuba River State Park provides hiking, swimming, and gold rush history. Seasonal events and local markets build strong neighbor connections that are harder to find in larger regional hubs like Auburn.
Whether you are planning to sell and want to capture current demand, or you are a buyer hoping to secure the right property in a competitive rural market, timing and preparation matter. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers in Penn Valley with an experienced local real estate agent who understands how to navigate this unique community.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“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.”

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!”

“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.”

“Kris is a gem of a realtor because she never loses her focus on what your needs as a client are. She is a gold standard on trustworthiness and went the extra mile so many times for us that we lost track. As our needs shifted, she always kept us aware of our "carved in stone" wants vs the shiny, temptations we saw, ultimately helping us find a home beyond perfect for us. She attended every inspection and never failed to point out both the pro's AND con's even if it meant losing a sale --- she is THAT committed to integrity! We loved her and the experience of finding a home with her help. I highly recommend Kris Painter as a knowledgeable, trustworthy and service oriented agent!”
