Grass Valley at a Glance
The Numbers, Explained
What is the median home price in Grass Valley right now?
The median sold price for a single-family home in Grass Valley was $515,000 in September 2026, up 2.6% from $502,000 in August and up 2.6% from $502,000 in September 2025.
Only 21 homes closed in September, so the median moves about as much on which houses happened to sell as on what any given home is worth. This month the steadier measure agrees with it: homes averaged $312 per square foot, essentially flat against $311 a year ago. Values look stable rather than climbing.
How long are homes in Grass Valley taking to sell?
Homes that closed in September 2026 averaged 39 days on market, slower than August’s 34 days but quicker than the 42 days recorded in September 2025.
That is a normal pace rather than a frantic one. Thirty-nine days leaves a buyer room to see a home, think it over and write a considered offer, which is generally the mark of a functioning market rather than a stalling one.
Is Grass Valley a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?
Grass Valley sits at 3.2 months of supply, down from 3.6 in August and 3.4 a year ago. Months of supply measures how long it would take to sell every home currently listed at the current pace of sales.
Under three months generally favors sellers, three to six is considered balanced, and over six favors buyers. At 3.2 months Grass Valley sits at the tight end of balanced — sellers hold a modest edge, but not one that lets them ignore condition or pricing.
How much are homes selling for compared to asking price?
Sales in September closed at an average of 99% of final list price and 97% of original list price. In August those two figures were 100% and 99%.
The gap between them is the useful part. Closing at 99% of the final list but 97% of the original means a fair number of sellers reduced somewhere along the way and then sold close to the revised figure. Pricing accurately at the outset still does most of the work.
How many homes are for sale in Grass Valley?
There were 68 active listings in Grass Valley at the end of September 2026, up from 64 in August but down about 28% from the 95 listings on the market in September 2025.
Thirty-six new listings came on during the month against 21 closed sales, so supply built slightly. Even so, a year-over-year drop of that size means buyers have materially less to choose from than they did last autumn.

Figures cover single-family homes in the Grass Valley area (MLS area 13105) and are drawn from the MetroList MLS, based on 21 closed sales in September 2026. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. A month with this few closings can swing on which homes happened to close, so these figures describe the market in aggregate and are not an appraisal or a valuation of any individual home.
