Plumas Lake · Yuba County · Market Report
A master-planned community in southern Yuba County built almost entirely since the 2000s — newer homes, straight shots to Highway 70, and steady Beale AFB demand. Here's how the market is moving.
As of June 2026, Plumas Lake, California real estate shows the median list price is about $500,650 (+2.0% YoY), homes are selling in a median of about 48 days on the market, and there are roughly 103 active listings — per Realtor.com and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data via the Federal Reserve (FRED). Conditions still favor sellers — inventory is tight and homes are moving relatively quickly.…
Plumas Lake is the newest face of Yuba County housing — a master-planned area along Highway 70 between Marysville and the Sacramento metro, built out largely since the mid-2000s and still adding phases. Nearly everything here is newer construction: single-story and two-story homes on suburban lots, with builders still actively selling in several neighborhoods.
Its position is the draw — roughly 25–30 minutes to Beale AFB, about 40 minutes to Roseville, and an hour to Sacramento — which attracts both military families and metro commuters looking for newer homes at prices below comparable Placer and Sacramento suburbs. As with much of the river-adjacent south county, flood-zone designations and levee-district assessments are worth checking parcel by parcel.
