The 2005 house at 5021 Jardin Ln, set on about an acre inside the gated Salishan Estates community in Carmichael, went under contract 17 days after the current listing date and recorded a price of $3,230,000 on September 22, 2026. It leads five sales reported across the Sacramento, California metro area for the week of September 21 through September 27, 2026, which together accounted for $12.37 million.
The rest of the week’s real estate record reaches well beyond Sacramento County: acreage in Newcastle, a custom house at the Catta Verdera golf community in Lincoln, a lakefront townhouse in the Lakeland Village complex at South Lake Tahoe and a 2023 build in Rescue. Build years across the group run from 1972 to 2023, and gated communities, golf-course and lake settings, working outbuildings and saltwater pools all turn up among the five.
