Zillow Announces  Hottest Housing Markets for 2017!
Sacramento was the only city in California listed, ranking as #10 on the list. This is encouraging news for Sacramento, and those considering joining our community.

"Zillow says home prices are rising quickly, but still 58% less expensive than the median home in the Bay Area. Zillow predicts Sacramento home values will appreciate almost 5% this year.

Zillow says it selects locations with 'quickly rising home values, low unemployment rates and strong income growth.'"

Cohousing in the News
"The Home Buying Decision"
New York Times | January 2017

Are you on the search for a new home for you or your family? It can be an overwhelming process.

The process of house hunting can focus on the wrong things...

It focuses on the features of the house, not on the social relationships that will happen in them, which is all you’ll remember decades hence. Choosing this or that house has only a moderate effect on joyfulness. The neighborhood you choose, and the social fabric you enter, is more important than the structure you adore.

This recent article offers a great reminder that what matters in the end is your neighborhood community. We'd love to help you fall in love with Fair Oaks EcoHousing! Attend an upcoming event to meet us and learn more about buying with community in mind.
