About Yuba County
Yuba County anchors the northern Sacramento Valley, where the flat farmland along the Feather and Yuba rivers meets the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Marysville, the compact county seat ringed by historic levees, and the small city of Wheatland to the south are Yuba's two incorporated cities, while the bulk of the population lives in the unincorporated communities of Linda, Olivehurst, and the fast-growing planned community of Plumas Lake. Together with neighboring Sutter County across the Feather River, Yuba forms the Yuba City metropolitan area. The county's population is roughly 84,507, and Beale Air Force Base is a major local employer alongside rice and orchard agriculture and steady commuting toward the Sacramento region.
Yuba County has become one of the Sacramento Valley's more active affordable markets, driven by new-construction subdivisions in Plumas Lake and Linda that draw first-time buyers and military families priced out of the Sacramento core; the county median home price is about $449,950. Save Financial originates mortgages for buyers and homeowners across every Yuba County community. We are licensed by the California Department of Real Estate (DRE #01875766), and registered with NMLS (#377740). We close Yuba County loans efficiently when documentation is complete.

- Purchase price: $449,950 (median for Yuba County)
