Prices year over year are technically up from a year ago, but that’s a low bar, considering May 2025 prices were down from May 2024. Inventory also remains constrained, which has upward pressure on prices. According to Ryan Lundquist of Sacramento Appraisal Blog, this is demonstrative of last year’s somewhat unusual pattern of an early spring peak. So far, 2026 trend lines look more normal. Where it goes from here remains to be seen. Below are some stats from Lundquist and from Compass for illustration.
