National Dog Film Day Meets the Housing Market

By C. Ray Brower, Associate Broker · November 6, 2026

Welcome to the National Dog Film Day celebration and market update for the Central Valley and Gold Country! Today's median sale price: $507,500 This time last year: $510,450 That's a difference of $2,950, or about 0.6%. The median is down very slightly year over year, keeping the overall picture close to last year's level. A regional median is just one snapshot. It doesn't mean every home, or every neighborhood, followed the same pattern. The markets we cover are varied, and local conditions can look quite different from one community to the next. Thinking about buying or selling? Reach out for the facts in your neighborhood and a clearer picture of what the numbers may mean for your plans. Our nationwide team serves all 50 states, helping buyers and sellers make smart real estate decisions. Many of our clients are also saving tens of thousands of dollars through our Equity Max Guarantee. View the original post on Facebook
