Solano County Real Estate

Solano County county is home to the beautiful rolling hills, home to the elegant Napa Valley, home to Six Flags Marine World Theme Park, and as for all of us who live here, home to many more homes than ever before. For the past decade, home builders have demolished and bulldozed many hills, valleys and fields to make room for new homes. As a Vallejo resident for almost two decades, when I first arrived to this old western, "country-like" town, looking outside your window and seeing golden rolling hills was the norm. Never in my mind would I have ever imaged Vallejo becoming a crowded, over populated city for it's size. Five minutes down I-80 would get you across the bridge to Hercules, Pinole and Richmond. Five minutes up I-80 would get you to Fairfield, Green Valley, and Suisun. East of Vallejo is the beautiful city of Benicia.

In the early 90's my father bought our first starter home in Vallejo for just over $100,000. Today that exact same house is going for $400,000. Imagine the prices of homes in San Francisco and Marin Counties, Alameda Counties, San Jose and Silicon Valley. As real estate prices went up, the people started to migrate outward. Solano County for the past few years has been a hot-spot for people in the Bay Area to move to. Since it is not expensive as many other counties, Solano County offers a better bang for your buck when it comes to homes.
