September 2026 Market Report

Tim's Take

September's $22.1 million in reported sales was heavily concentrated in two West Sacramento transactions: the $11 million office sale at 750 Riverpoint Drive and the $5.512 million retail sale at 800 Riverpoint Drive. Together, they accounted for roughly three quarters of the month's dollar volume. Those are significant sales, but they do not tell us that every property in the county has moved in the same direction. For an owner considering a sale, I would start with comparable properties in the same city and asset class, then look closely at condition, occupancy and income.

Woodland led the month's reported leasing, accounting for 196,100 of the county's 247,369 square feet. The 159,850 square foot industrial lease at 1400 Churchill Downs Avenue and the 35,000 square foot retail lease on Bronze Star Drive drove most of that activity. At the other end of the market, September also included smaller office, retail and industrial leases. A large warehouse transaction and a small storefront lease answer very different questions, so size, use and lease terms matter more than a single countywide figure.

My focus is what these transactions mean for your particular property or business. A recent sale can help frame a pricing conversation. A newly listed property can show what buyers are being offered, and available lease space can show what tenants are comparing. An asking price or advertised rent is not the same as a completed deal. If you are weighing a sale, purchase or lease, I am available to help sort out which of this month's activity is actually relevant to you.
