Treelake
Ten homes changed hands in Treelake between April and June — nine on the open market, one off it. Here is what they sold for, how fast, and what the pattern tells a homeowner thinking about next year.
In the second quarter of 2026, ten homes sold in the Treelake neighborhood of Granite Bay, California. The median sale price was $1,300,000 and the median price per square foot was $417.54. Sale prices ranged from $995,000 to $1,650,000, and total sales volume was $13,195,500. Eight of the ten homes went under contract within thirty days. Homes that sold within thirty days closed at 101.1% of their asking price, while the one home that took 61 to 90 days closed at 94.7%. One of the ten sales closed off MLS and does not appear in standard closed-sale reports or on public listing portals.
What actually sold
These figures come from the nine sales reported through the MLS. Median is the honest number in a quarter this small — averages get pulled around by one large house.
| Measure · nine MLS sales | Low | Median | Average | High |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sale price | $995,000 | $1,300,000 | $1,305,056 | $1,650,000 |
| Price per sq. ft. | $359.65 | $417.54 | $428.24 | $505.05 |
| List price | $995,000 | $1,288,000 | $1,300,222 | $1,625,000 |
| Living area (sq. ft.) | 2,383 | 2,969 | 3,067 | 3,958 |

The tenth sale
One Treelake home closed without ever reaching the open market. It belongs in this report, and it is worth understanding.

A strong number. $444.65 a foot sits about 6.5% above the Treelake median for the quarter, and $1,450,000 is the second-highest price in the neighborhood between April and June.
It will not show up in most reports. Sales that close off MLS are excluded from the standard closed-sale search, which is why the summary version of this quarter shows nine transactions instead of ten. If you are tracking Treelake values, this is an easy one to miss.
There is no asking price attached to it. That is simply how private sales work — but it means there is no sale-to-list figure for this home, and no way to measure it against competing offers. Worth knowing before you weigh a quiet sale for your own house.
Selling privately has a real job to do. It protects your privacy, it lets you test a price before any clock starts, and it creates urgency among the buyers who want in badly enough to move early. That is stage one of a well-built launch — off market, then pre-market, then full launch — and used that way it builds leverage before the world ever sees the home. The distinction that matters is whether a quiet sale is the opening move or the entire strategy.
Speed and price are the same conversation
The nine MLS sales, grouped by how long they sat, and what each group finally sold for as a share of its asking price. The vertical line is asking price.
The difference between selling at 101.1% of asking and selling at 94.7%, on a $1,288,000 list price. That is what the first thirty days are worth in Treelake — and it is not something a price reduction wins back later. Eight of the ten homes this quarter were spoken for inside that window.
Why price per square foot is the wrong shortcut
Ten homes, all built between 1990 and 1997, same neighborhood, similar lots. They still closed across a $145 per-foot range.
On a 3,000 square-foot home, that spread is a $436,000 swing in value. Same neighborhood, same era, same schools. Treelake carries the work of multiple builders, so floor plans and original finish levels vary — but that explains a slice of the range, not the whole thing. The rest is condition, updates, lot position, and how the home was prepared and brought to market. Any pricing conversation that opens with "Treelake is running about $420 a foot" has already skipped the part that decides where inside the range you land.
What this means if you own here
The short version, and then the caveats — because a ten-sale quarter deserves both.
- Treelake rewards sellers, but mostly in the first month. Eight of ten homes were under contract inside thirty days, and the MLS group that moved that fast closed slightly above asking. The two that lingered finished below it. There is no soft landing for an overpriced launch here — the market simply moves on to the next house.
- Above asking is an outcome, not a market condition. The homes that cleared 101% of list were the ones that arrived prepared, priced correctly, and marketed before they hit. That is a narrower group than a headline average suggests, and it is not something the market hands out. A home that comes to market unready gets the other number.
- Condition is the biggest variable in your value. Treelake was built out by multiple builders, so floor plans and finish levels genuinely differ from street to street — that accounts for part of the per-foot spread. Condition accounts for far more of it. Every home that sold is roughly thirty years old, and what separates the top of the range from the bottom is kitchens, baths, flooring, systems, and yard — plus whether a buyer can see the finished version or has to imagine it.
- Ten sales in a quarter is thin. Roughly three homes a month means there is rarely a perfect comparable, and it means a well-prepared listing faces very little direct competition on launch week. That scarcity is leverage, and it only pays if the home is genuinely ready when it hits.
- A quiet sale is a tool, not a plan. Swan Lake shows a strong off-market number is achievable in Treelake. The trade you are making is information: one buyer gives you one opinion of value, and no way to check it against anything. Used well, the quiet window builds the audience and tests the price while you still hold the option to go to market. Used as the whole plan, it closes that option before you know what you had.
- Your list price is a marketing decision, not an appraisal. The data here shows what the market paid. It does not show what preparation, staging, photography, and a sequenced launch did to produce those numbers. That is where the top and the bottom of a $145 range get decided.
Common questions about the Treelake market
Straight answers to what homeowners ask most, based on this quarter's sales.
What is the median home price in Treelake, Granite Bay?
The median sale price in Treelake was $1,300,000 in the second quarter of 2026, across ten sales between April 1 and June 30. Prices ranged from $995,000 to $1,650,000.
What is the price per square foot in Treelake?
The median closed price per square foot was $417.54, and the average was roughly $428. Individual sales ranged from $359.65 to $505.05 per square foot — a $145 spread driven mostly by condition, updates, and lot position rather than location.
How long do homes take to sell in Treelake?
The median time on market was 8 days. Seven of the nine MLS-reported sales went under contract within 30 days, one took 31 to 60 days, and one took 61 to 90 days. No home took longer than 90 days.
Do homes in Treelake sell above asking price?
Some do, but it depends heavily on how the home is prepared and priced. Homes that sold within 30 days closed at an average of 101.1% of their asking price. The home that took 61 to 90 days closed at 94.7%. On a $1,288,000 list price, that difference is roughly $82,000.
How many homes sold in Treelake in the second quarter of 2026?
Ten. Nine closed through the MLS and one closed off MLS on June 22, 2026. Total sales volume was $13,195,500. Because off-MLS sales are excluded from standard closed-sale searches, most market reports for this period will show only nine.
Notes on the data
One figure carries a footnote. The MLS report shows a blended sale-to-list ratio of 98.58%, while the individual time-on-market groups weight out to 100.25%. That gap usually means the blended figure is measured against original list price and the groups against final list price. If so, the roughly 1.7-point difference represents the cost of price reductions across the quarter — around $22,000 on a median Treelake home.
Off-market sales sit outside the standard report. The MLS closed-sale summary counted nine transactions. Swan Lake closed off MLS on June 22 and has been added here by hand, which is why the totals in this report run higher than the MLS summary alone.
Not included: active and pending inventory (so no months-of-supply figure), seller-paid concessions and closing credits, cash versus financed terms, original list prices, and a year-over-year comparison. Those are the items to add before setting a price on a specific home.
Compiled from Placer County MLS data for Area 12746, sales closed April 1 – June 30, 2026, plus one off-MLS transaction reported for comparable purposes. Ten transactions total. Excludes the Villas and the Windrose gated community. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
