+3,382 Roseville($575,000)
+3,319 Fresno($280,400)
+3,187 Oakland($906,000)

+1,329 Rancho Cordova($442,500)
+1,216 Ontario($520,000)

$1.4 million Santa Clara led the state in numerical growth in 2020, this is such a strange development given the noise regarding the economy---even more interesting, Mountain View is in the top 20 as well.
Oakland grew faster than Bakersfield. I cant recall when that has ever happened in the last 50 years.
Fresno and Sacramento and their environs are well represented in this list.
Look at home prices in San Joaquin County(YIKES), Tracy, Lathrop, Manteca are like the Bay Area's housing Dollar Tree but that is quickly changing.
The Inland Empire is also well represented here(not a surprise) and the prices out there appear to be rising fast too.
