Sacramento, CA

2026-Q4
CBSA 40900 · Updated 2026-10-01

Market Update

Sacramento's population has shown a steady upward trend, reaching approximately 2.46 million in Q4 2026, reflecting a year-over-year growth of 1.76%. This growth is supported by a net migration of 4,931 residents, contributing to a renter share of 36.4%. The median household income stands at $98,775, while the employment figures indicate a robust labor market with 1,173,596 employed individuals. However, the unemployment rate is reported at 5.9%, which may influence housing demand dynamics in the region.

In the multifamily sector, the HUD Fair Market Rent for a two-bedroom unit is $2,206, which serves as a benchmark below the current asking rents. Year-over-year multifamily rent growth is recorded at 2.1%, with the median gross rent also at $1,904. This indicates a relatively stable rental market, although the growth rate is below the national median of 3.5%. The affordability of housing remains a concern, as the asking rents for various unit types suggest that many households may face challenges in meeting housing costs.

Over the trailing 24 months, Sacramento has seen 586 transactions in the multifamily sector, with a total volume of approximately $1.05 billion and a median price per unit of $316,667. The multifamily cap rate is currently at 5.7%, which is about 134 basis points tighter than the national median of 7.04%. This suggests a competitive investment environment, although the cap rates for office, retail, and industrial properties remain higher, indicating varied risk profiles across asset classes. As reported by CBRE Research, the multifamily market's resilience amid economic fluctuations may continue to attract investor interest, albeit with caution regarding affordability trends.
