We catch up with appraiser and data nerd Ryan Lundquist for a grounded look at the Sacramento real estate market, from price trends and inventory to what buyers and sellers are actually doing. We also get into why condos feel especially stuck right now, where AI helps and where it breaks, and why the market story needs fewer spins and more truth.
• how Ryan thinks about telling an honest market story with local real estate data
• what “tight” and “soft” mean right now for Sacramento home prices and competition
• how long it takes for real market shifts to show up in the stats
• why condo prices and condo demand are taking a sharper hit
• how insurance costs, special assessments, and HOA fee increases change affordability
• what SB326 and SB721 mean for balconies, inspections, and lending
• why small sample size can make neighborhood stats look wild
• when a closet matters for calling a room a bedroom and when code and egress matter more
• where AI and appraisal waivers are headed and why we stay on Team Human
• practical advice for buyers and sellers on pricing, inspections, and staying in contract
