Area, lifestyle and risks
Placerville is the seat of El Dorado County and sits along Highway 50, around 45 minutes east of Sacramento and roughly an hour and a half from Lake Tahoe. Apple orchards and wineries in the surrounding foothills draw weekend visitors. The trade-off is wildfire exposure: insurance availability and cost for foothill homes deserve early attention.
Suburban alternatives closer to Sacramento include Cameron Park and El Dorado Hills, and further out are Folsom, Auburn, Granite Bay and Rocklin, each a separate market.
California buying tips for non-residents
Californian property tax is generally around 1% of the purchase price, with local assessments added, and the assessed value resets when you buy. Foreign buyers can purchase freely, but lenders will want larger deposits. FIRPTA withholding of 15% applies on sale, reduced to 10% or 0% for qualifying residence sales up to $1m and $300k.
