Home appraisals in Yolo County, by tomorrow

Every city and town in Yolo County, same fee, same 24 hours, written and signed by me.

Yolo County homes range from older Davis bungalows and greenbelt neighborhoods to Woodland's tree-lined streets, West Sacramento's riverfront and Southport subdivisions, and farmhouses near Winters, Esparto and Clarksburg. Here I'm often asked about a parent's house passing to the kids, a divorce that needs a neutral number, or keeping the old tax base.

What I look at in Yolo County

  1. 1

    In Davis, greenbelts, bike paths and closeness to campus change value block to block. Village Homes, with its shared orchards and natural drainage, sells on its own terms, so I compare it carefully.

  2. 2

    West Sacramento mixes older homes in Broderick and Bryte with newer Southport tracts near the river levees. I compare like with like and check each parcel's flood zone.

  3. 3

    Around Winters, Esparto and the Capay Valley, homes often sit on farm parcels with wells and outbuildings. I value the residence and its setting and note orchard views and road access.

Across Yolo County

Yolo County runs from the Sacramento River and the Yolo Bypass across flat farmland to the Capay Valley and the hills west of Winters. I keep Davis, Woodland and West Sacramento in their own markets and treat the farm towns separately.

What to photograph

Photograph the kitchen and baths, the backyard, any solar panels, and any backyard cottage or garage conversion. On a farm parcel, show the shop, well, barns and the view across the fields.

Yolo County questions

Our Davis house has a rented backyard cottage. Does that raise the appraisal?
It often adds value if the cottage is permitted and has its own kitchen and bath. I look for Davis sales with similar second units and note separate entrances and utilities. The rent doesn't set the value, but buyers notice it.
Can I keep my parents' low property taxes on their Yolo County house?
Possibly. Under Prop 19, a child who moves into the Yolo County house may keep all or part of the parent's tax base, depending on its market value at transfer. I can't give tax advice, but I can give you a clear value as of that date.
When would I get the report for a Yolo County home?
Within 24 hours of the moment I have both your payment and your photos, weekends and holidays included. If you're not in a rush, the regular schedule is 5–10 business days at $299 or $449.
