Lisa Paragary and Tiegen Boberg of Nick Sadek Sotheby's International Realty are addressing this friction with the launch of Sierra View Estates in Shingle Springs. Located 30 miles east of Sacramento, the gated community offers six five-acre parcels designed to bypass the typical hurdles of custom construction. With the city of Sacramento adding over 6,800 residents as of May 2026 and El Dorado Hills experiencing a 14.8% spike in year-over-year home sales, the demand for buildable sites has surged.

Sacramento's Housing Squeeze Pushes Buyers Toward Shovel-Ready Land
The greater Sacramento region is absorbing new residents at a rapid clip, yet a paradoxical bottleneck has emerged for those hoping to build. While raw acreage remains plentiful, the path from property acquisition to breaking ground is frequently obstructed by a lack of infrastructure and expert coordination.
According to Boberg, the core issue is not a shortage of dirt, but a shortage of support. Many buyers find themselves struggling to assemble a team of contractors and utility experts after purchasing a lot. To mitigate this, each Sierra View parcel comes equipped with a drilled well, completed perc testing, and established power access. Paragary and Boberg further streamline the process by connecting buyers directly with a pre-vetted network of local builders. This "turnkey" approach mirrors their ongoing work in the Serrano community, where they represent builders like TailorMade Homes and Tamasi Ross Construction to manage the transition from land purchase to final move-in.
