About Trinity County
Trinity County sits deep in the rugged Klamath Mountains of far Northern California and is one of only a handful of counties in the state with no incorporated cities whatsoever. The county seat, Weaverville, is an unincorporated Gold Rush town wrapped by the Trinity Alps and the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, which blankets the overwhelming majority of the county's land. With a population of roughly 15,860 spread thinly across Weaverville, Hayfork, Lewiston, Junction City, and Hyampom, Trinity is among California's most remote and sparsely settled counties, and its housing market reflects that isolation.
Because so few homes change hands here in any given month, published median-price figures for Trinity County are approximate and can swing widely from one data source to the next; the roughly $290,000 figure we cite should be read as a directional benchmark rather than a precise appraisal. Save Financial originates mortgages for buyers and homeowners in every corner of Trinity County. We are licensed by the California Department of Real Estate (DRE #01875766), and registered with NMLS (#377740). We close Trinity County loans efficiently when documentation is complete.
