Capital 5th Podcast

This week I am featuring Shingle Springs, an unincorporated part of El Dorado County. Located east of Sacramento, with easy access to Highway 50…. Shingle Springs has a great rural lifestyle that is still close to restaurants and shopping….Shingle Springs also benefits from its elevation above the valley’s summer heat and winter fog… Shingle Springs is about 60 minutes to the Sacramento Airport…. Also…. most commutes to Sacramento from Shingle Springs are about 45 minutes via the freeway….. South Lake Tahoe is just 90 minutes away….

I selected Shingle Springs this week because only two single family homes sold over the past week…. There are now 23 single family homes available in Shingle Springs with this summer seeing the most inventory in five years…..

If Shingle Springs sounds like a community that you would be interested in, then please consider my deal of the week…. Reduced $161,000 and on the market since early August, this home is now priced at $1,439,000….. This four bedroom, five bathroom home with pool and spa has nearly 4,300 square feet of living space and a large, five acre lot with views…. It also has a shop and owned solar… To find out more about my deal of the week please visit the Capital Fifth website at

What is Capital 5th Podcast?

The question is, are you considering a home in the Sacramento area but don't know where to start? Welcome to the Capital 5th Podcast, hosted by Ben Howard, a California licensed real estate advisor and third generation Sacramento area resident serving you since 2016. I intend to use this podcast as a tool for you to learn more about residential real estate in the Sacramento region. Each week, I'll highlight a community where I'm telling clients that there's the greatest market opportunity. I'll explain why you should consider this particular community and include reasons such as, the number of offers for similar homes or down, sellers are offering more buyer concessions during escrow, less sellers are receiving and accepting offers, or perhaps the average home is taking longer to sell. Then I'll select a home in that community, which is my deal of the week. These homes will be screened to offer the greatest value versus competing homes in that particular community. Next, I'll provide an update on mortgage rates. And finally, I'll discuss an aspect of real estate that I would share with my clients. Over the years, clients have asked me some really good questions. I've taken these questions and will share the answers with you.
