"Not on file" means too few sales or no county record yet. Prices are per deeded acre: usable acres aren't on file yet.
How each number is figured
- Vacant land, median price per acre: Median of each sale's price per deeded acre, MLS sales of vacant land of 1+ acre whose acreage matches the lot size, rounded to $100; 5 or more sales needed.
- Land sales: MLS sales of vacant land of 1+ acre in the period.
- Land sold, median acres: Median deeded acres of those land sales.
- Homes on 1+ acre, median sale: Median sale price of homes on an acre or more, MLS and county records.
- Home sales: Sales of homes on an acre or more in the period.
- Homes sold with a private well: Share of MLS home sales on 1+ acre whose water field lists a private or shared well; 10 or more sales needed.
- Home sales with a water record: MLS home sales with a water entry (the base for the well share).
- Parcels under a Williamson Act contract: Share of Cornload parcels the county parcel file marks as under contract.
- Parcels with a contract record: Cornload parcels with a Williamson Act entry in the county parcel file.
- Country parcels on Cornload: Parcels of 1+ acre or unincorporated with a Cornload page.
- With a Cornload Estimate: Of those, parcels with a Cornload Estimate.
Sales come from the MLS and county records for Sep 2024 through Sep 2026. Parcel counts and Williamson Act status come from the Solano and Yolo county parcel files; the other four counties' contract layers aren't loaded yet. Every county page lists the parcels behind its row.
