This year started out hot but with the increases in interest rates, as with the rest of the country, it has affected us here in El Dorado Hills as well.  Here is a look at what was selling in El Dorado Hills in October 2022 with the high and low home sales along with sales statistics for the month.  Keep in mind that numbers and statistics used here reflect MLS sales only. Very few of the new construction homes come through the MLS.  Highest Selling Home - The highest selling home in El Dorado Hills for October 2022 was a beautiful custom-built two story home on Corsica Dr. in the Bella Lago neighborhood at the Promontory. It was built in 2022 on .56 acres with approximately 5005 sq. ft., 7 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms. It offered 12' coffered ceilings, a huge gourmet kitchen with a butler... 11/13/2022

Before you decide to consider the likes of Open Door, Zillow, or ANY other Online entity, that offers to buy Your home-with NO stress, NO repairs-Oh, and with you doing nothing but hold your hand out for your proceeds...Call your Local Realtor…Not a bad idea to call one that has been in the business for more than 3 decades either 😊Seriously folks…YOU deserve to get everything possible, out of the sale of your home…after all, you only have one opportunity to do it right…YOU owe it to yourself, to be sure you have all the facts, before making such an important decision.If one really saves thousands of dollars in commissions-Don’t you think, more Home Sellers would choose this option?  Yes, they would…There is a reason, they are not. Before you make a decision to consider this route-Please... 07/13/2022

It was a heck of a year for real estate across the country especially with the uncertainty of the shut down in March. Things slowed for a few weeks but came back with a fury. The 2020 Real Estate Market for El Dorado Hills ended with 61% fewer homes for sale and the average home selling price up over 30% compared to December 2019. Here is a look at our year end stats and what was selling in El Dorado Hills in December 2020  with the high and low home sales along with sales statistics for the month and a look back at 2019.  Keep in mind that numbers and statistics used here reflect MLS sales only. Very few of the new construction homes come through the MLS.  As long as our total inventory remains low, I believe our home prices will continue to rise in 2021. Our demand far exceeds our sup... 02/01/2021
