What This Means
Folsom's housing market is showing mixed signals heading into summer. While the median sale price ticked up 1.5% month-over-month to $730,000, that's still nearly 9% below where we were a year ago, suggesting underlying softness despite the modest monthly gain. The real story is in how long homes are lingering on the market—days on market jumped from 47 to 55 days in just one month, a notable shift that indicates buyers are taking their time and sellers may need to be more flexible on pricing or terms.
The fact that homes are selling for 99.1% of asking price is encouraging and suggests fair pricing, but the increase in DOM reveals buyers have more negotiating power than they did a few weeks ago. With 274 active listings on the market and inventory climbing, we're seeing a more balanced environment after what was a tighter market last year. The sales volume dip likely reflects normal seasonal patterns as we move into summer rather than any dramatic market shift.
For sellers, this means pricing aggressively and presenting homes in excellent condition. For buyers, patience is finally paying dividends—you have options again, and you're not in a bidding war.
