The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Sacramento, California metro area for the week ending October 4, 2026, totaled $14.925 million. Placer County accounted for three of them, all mountain homes, while El Dorado County and Sacramento County had one sale each.
In three of the five sales, the same agent was on both sides of the transaction.
No. 1 — $3,500,000 · 700 Olympic Valley Rd, Olympic Valley, California
The week’s top sale was a three-story mountain home in Olympic Valley, which sold for $3,500,000. From the home there are views of the surrounding mountains, the meadow and Red Dog Ridge at Palisades Tahoe. The home is across from the paved bike path that runs between the resort and Tahoe City, and Lake Tahoe is about seven miles away.
Inside, the living room rises to a cathedral ceiling, with a full-height steel fireplace and a custom chandelier. The kitchen beside it has a large island topped in quartz, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Wolf range and double ovens. Beyond the great room are an upstairs loft that can serve as a den or office, a game room with a wet bar and a walk-in wine cellar.
The renovation brought in a few ski-country touches. The stair handrail is made from real chairlift cable, and a vintage chairlift hangs above the stairwell. Doors are solid alder, the railings and metalwork are custom steel, and the primary bathroom has a copper soaking tub and heated floors. The home has four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a half bath, and 3,919 square feet of living space, with two decks and a three-car attached garage on a 10,454-square-foot lot. The property last sold for $1.041 million in 2017.
Chiara L Gajar of Lawrence Realty was the listing agent and also represented the buyer, so the same agent was on both sides of the week’s top sale.
