Sacramento market rental trends report

Over the past 3–6 months, Sacramento’s rental market has shown relative stability, with only slight upward movement (or in some cases mild cooling) in asking rents depending on bedroom count. Recent data from Zumper, Apartments.com, and RentCafe suggests rent levels have moved in the low single-digit percentage range during that span. This muted change reflects a balance between continuing housing demand, modest increases in supply (new units coming onto the market), and the constraints of local vacancy rates and rising costs (maintenance, land, financing) pushing landlords to hold or slightly raise rents. Currently, the median asking rent for all unit types in Sacramento is approximately $1,850 per month.

Folsom

Over the past 3–6 months, rents in Folsom have edged upward modestly, especially in the more in-demand segments, with gains of roughly 2–3 % on average month-to-month according to inventory-based platforms. Some listings report more stable pricing, but overall the trend is slight upward pressure rather than sharp jumps. This moderate rise is being driven by constrained vacancy (limited new supply), steady demand from Sacramento-area commuters, and the area’s appeal (good schools, quality of life, suburban amenities) that keeps rental demand relatively strong. Currently, the median asking rent across Folsom is approximately $2,850 per month for all unit types.
