Vacation Homes - Focus on Foresthill, CA

Posted by Purva Brown on September 19th, 2007

Since we have this fabulous listing in Foresthill, I thought writing a little bit about living there might help you decide about moving there, or buying it as a second home. At 3225 feet above sea level, it definitely qualifies! A mere 54 miles from Sacramento, it gets between 5 - 10 inches of snow between December and March.

If you like a quiet place to run away to for the weekend, this might be the place for you! In the year 2000, only 1,791 residents were recorded in this paradise.

In terms of the real estate market here, sales have been slow, but have not ground to a halt as in some other places. Compared with last year’s 46 sold homes, we have for the year 2007, 37 sold single family residences. 5 more are pending sale and there are still 69 homes you can look at.

Our listing at 5166 Cold Springs Drive is set at the median asking price of Foresthill at $495,000 but well below the average asking price of $636,770.
