Key Findings

  1. The primary market indicator is the median sold price, which stands at $664,000, identifying recent transaction-level value in Vacaville and supporting a hot market temperature when combined with other liquidity signals.
  2. There is a persistent pricing gap between $692,000 median listing price and $664,000 median sold price, which suggests some seller expectations exceed recent transaction prices and may indicate pricing friction for listings that do not align with realized market value.
  3. Median days on market is 16, which implies relatively quick turnover and sustained transaction velocity despite higher listing expectations; however, elevated interest rate pressure and a reported 30-year fixed rate of 6.77% should be factored into buyer affordability assessments (elevated).
  4. Median market rent is $2,642 while rent year-over-year trend is down, indicating softer rental momentum that may temper investor appetite and should prompt closer monitoring of rental demand drivers before repositioning assets.
