The numbers, in one breath
Every neighborhood has a median, and in Sacramento the median only tells part of the story. Lot sizes vary. Eras mix. Custom homes sit beside tract homes. So even where the median is $850,000, there are one-of-a-kind homes that sell for far more, and the street, the lot and the details move the number.

The typical home was built in 1955, with 3 bedrooms and about 2,035 square feet, on a lot of about 10,202 square feet. Half of the sales landed between $535k and $1.2M, depending on lot size, condition, square footage and more, and the median was $850,000. Condos and townhomes aren't included.
