Tracking the Roseville housing market helps residents, agents, and buyers make sense of price movement, inventory, and timing across the city in order to find a home for sale that is perfect for them.
This Roseville market report pulls together current pricing, sales, and value trends for the city of Roseville in Placer County so you can see how local metrics compare to broader California and Sacramento-area patterns. The data used here are year-to-date and month-stamped where values are volatile, with source attributions included for each key metric.
What is the Current State of the Roseville Real Estate Market?
As of year-to-date through October 2025, the Roseville real estate market is showing moderation rather than the rapid escalation seen in 2020–2022. Closed sales data put the median sale price near $609,495 for October 2025, down about 1.3% year-over-year, and average days on market are around 42 days, which points to a slower sales pace and more negotiation room for buyers.
At the same time, municipal profiles list a median home price near $665,650 and a population of roughly 158,300, reflecting differences in methodology and timing between city and listing-based data. Inventory increased in 2025 compared with 2024 and that higher supply, together with longer selling times, has shifted leverage modestly toward buyers in many segments, though well-priced, move-in-ready homes in popular neighbourhoods still attract strong interest.
Average List Price
The average list price in Roseville sits in the mid-$600,000s for much of 2025. Realtor.com reported a median listing price near $629,000 in September 2025, which aligns with local listing platforms showing most active inventory clustered around that range.
List price varies by neighbourhood and property type; West Roseville and Fiddyment Farm typically post higher asking prices than older central areas.
Average Sales Price
The median sales price for Roseville in October 2025 was roughly $609,495 according to Redfin’s city report for that month, down 1.3% compared to the prior year. This reflects the actual closed sales prices recorded by Redfin’s data set and is useful for understanding what buyers are paying after negotiation and concessions.
Zillow’s average home value estimate (ZHVI) for Roseville was about $636,960 with a small year-over-year decline as of late 2025; ZHVI is a smoothed index that complements median sale figures and can help show trend direction across types of housing. Where precise comparison is needed, note the date and whether you are using median sale price or the ZHVI average.
Number of Homes Listed
As of late 2025 Roseville, CA had roughly 595 active home listings. That count represents a notable increase in for-sale activity compared with the prior year and is one reason average days on market have edged higher.
Listing totals change week to week, so the year-to-date pattern is the best way to judge whether inventory is rising or falling. In 2025 the year-to-date pattern was upward, with more active listings across multiple price bands than in 2024.
Number of Homes Sold
Redfin’s October 2025 figures show about 182 homes sold in Roseville that month, up modestly from the prior year’s monthly count.
Placer County aggregated reports and local broker downloads provide the monthly sold totals and the trend lines for the past 12 months; these show modest increases in closed transactions in many West Placer ZIP codes through 2025. That pattern reflects buyers returning to the market where price adjustments and seasonal mortgage rate movement open windows of opportunity.
Average Days on Market
Days on market in Roseville have lengthened compared to the rapid turnover seen in 2021–2022. Redfin reports an average of about 42 days on market in October 2025, compared with roughly 22 days the prior year in its dataset. This is a clear sign that homes are taking longer to sell and price negotiation is more common.
Different ZIP codes and neighbourhoods behave differently. For example, some higher-priced or newly built subdivisions in parts of Roseville may show faster sales while older central neighbourhoods sit longer.
Price Drops
Sellers across the U.S. increased price cuts in 2025, and national analysis shows price reductions reached record seasonal levels for some months; Redfin’s national reporting noted a substantial rise in the share of homes with price drops during 2025. Locally, Roseville saw more frequent list-price adjustments as inventory rose and buyers pushed back on initial asking prices. That dynamic contributed to the small year-over-year slide in median sales price in late 2025.
How Have Home Values Changed in Roseville?
Home value change depends on the timeframe and the data series, so short-term movements can differ from longer-term trends in the Roseville housing market. Below we compare one-, three-, five- and ten-year changes using year-to-date 2025 metrics such as median and average home value to show recent price trends and longer-term value movement across West Roseville and other neighbourhoods.
One-Year Change
Over the most recent 12 months ending October 2025, Zillow shows Roseville home values down about 1.1% year-over-year while Redfin’s median sales series shows a similar small decline (roughly -1.3% for October 2025). Use the month and provider when quoting a one-year change because the exact percent depends on the data window.
Three-Year Change
Looking back three years, Roseville experienced notable price appreciation during the pandemic and a partial cooling since 2023; combined data series suggest the three-year change remains positive in most submarkets even if 2025 shows a mild pullback versus the 2022 highs. County summaries and Zillow historical charts provide the three-year view.
Five-Year Change
Five-year metrics smooth out short cycles. Across many Roseville neighbourhoods the five-year change remains meaningfully positive, reflecting building, regional job and population growth, and limited for-sale supply in earlier years. For a precise percent, consult the ZHVI five-year view or PCAOR historic downloads which publish multi-year tables.
Ten-Year Change
Over a decade, Roseville’s home values have risen substantially as the city grew and new subdivisions appeared in West Placer. Ten-year comparisons show clear long-term appreciation, though the rate varies by neighbourhood and price tier. For long-run investors or owners, ten-year metrics are the most reliable way to see structural value change rather than short cycles. Use county assessor roll values and ZHVI decade charts for the detailed percent.
How Are Mortgage Rates?
As of November 26, 2025 the 30-year fixed mortgage averaged about 6.23% per Freddie Mac. Rates eased in late November as long-term Treasury yields fell and markets priced in a greater chance of Federal Reserve easing, though mortgage pricing remains highly sensitive to inflation and employment reports. That sensitivity means weekly and monthly moves can be meaningful for consumers.
For the Roseville housing market even small changes in the 30-year rate alter monthly payments and reduce or expand buying power, which in turn affects affordability and buyer activity. Watch both rate direction and local price trends to understand how quickly conditions may change.
Is it a Buyer or Seller’s Market in Roseville?
As of mid-to-late 2025 Roseville is closer to a balanced market with a modest advantage to buyers in many price segments. Rising active listings and longer average days on market have eased the extreme seller leverage seen during 2020–2022, yet well-priced, move-in-ready homes in popular neighbourhoods still attract multiple offers and sell quickly.
Bargaining power depends on price point, condition, and neighbourhood. Higher-priced and newer subdivisions generally retain stronger demand, while entry and mid-market homes show more negotiation and price adjustments; months of inventory and pending-to-closed ratios give the clearest picture for any specific slice of the Roseville market.
Schools, Community and Financial Factors
Home, school and community factors often move together in the Roseville market. Schools in Roseville and the local school districts are a frequent consideration for buyers locating near good programs, and nearby cities such as Lincoln and Sacramento shape commuter patterns and demand among buyers.
Sierra-front communities and established neighbourhoods show different rent and ownership dynamics, so community rank and WalletHub-style comparisons can influence where residents and renters look.
From a market-structure view, today’s market shows more pending listings and a higher share of active inventory than a year ago, which affects days on the market compared with days last year and the average Roseville selling pace. Financial conditions set by Wall Street, loan availability, and average credit score requirements all influence housing affordability, monthly rent pressure, and buyer demand.

Is inventory rising or falling in 2025?
Inventory rose in 2025 compared with 2024 in the Sacramento-area and Placer County reports, contributing to more active listings in Roseville. Local REALTOR association downloads provide monthly counts by subarea.

West Roseville, Fiddyment Farm and newer subdivisions tend to command higher list prices and stronger price retention; consult Zillow neighbourhood pages and Redfin ZIP reports to compare neighbourhood median values and one-year changes.
Where can I find official local market downloads and monthlies?
Placer County Association of REALTORS and PCAOR provide monthly market downloads and the Placer County assessor and county reports offer demographic and assessment context; those are the most reliable local sources for monthly sold and for-sale counts.
