Over the past 3–6 months, Sacramento’s rental market has remained relatively stable with modest upward movement across some unit types, following the slight cooling seen in late 2025. While overall rent growth has been limited, recent data indicates small increases in average asking rents, particularly in one- and three-bedroom units. This shift reflects a balanced supply and demand environment, where steady in-migration and consistent renter demand are beginning to offset the additional inventory that came online earlier. Vacancy levels remain moderate, giving renters options while still allowing for gradual price increases. As of Q1 2026, the median rent in Sacramento is approximately $1,900 per month across all unit types, maintaining its position as a more affordable California rental market relative to other major metros.
Folsom
Over the past 3–6 months, rental prices in Folsom have remained relatively stable with modest upward movement across most unit types, following the softer trends seen in late 2025. Recent inventory-based reporting suggests rents have edged slightly higher, particularly in one- and three-bedroom units, while overall pricing remains balanced without significant volatility. This gradual increase reflects steady demand supported by Folsom’s quality of life, strong local economy, and proximity to Sacramento, alongside a relatively stable supply of available units. At the same time, affordability considerations continue to moderate the pace of rent growth, preventing sharp increases. As of Q1 2026, the median rent in Folsom across all unit types is approximately $2,350 per month.
