Why We Buy Yolo County Property
Yolo County is one of California's most productive agricultural counties — it accounts for roughly 90% of U.S. canning/processing tomato production and generated $824.6 million in gross agricultural production value in 2024. That means we understand how to value working farmland, not just house lots.
Proximity to Sacramento and UC Davis keeps steady buyer interest from both agricultural operators and land investors watching the Sacramento Valley corridor, even as ag land use itself stays dominant across the county. A landowner in Yolo has more paths to sale than most Central Valley counties — and we're one of the fastest of them.

Yolo County Land Market in 2026
California cropland values rose about 3.5% from June 2024 to June 2025, with average California farmland estimated around $22,703/acre statewide. Treat that as a California statewide average, not a Yolo-specific point value — Valley floor ground with reliable water access and Class I/II soil typically trades at a meaningful premium to remote rangeland acreage.
Yolo's 2024 gross agricultural production value hit $824.6 million, led by processing tomatoes at roughly $236.7 million across about 34,600 acres in 2023, followed by almonds, wine grapes, and alfalfa hay. Those are the crops that shape the county's land market — and the buyer pool.
All $/acre figures above are regional and illustrative context, not a per-acre appraisal of any specific Yolo parcel. For a parcel-level estimate, try our land value calculator, then request a firm offer.
How the Process Works in California
Deed Type
California land sales typically transfer title via a grant deed — the seller warrants clear title and that the property has not been transferred to anyone else.
Where Closings Happen
California uses licensed independent escrow companies (not attorneys) to handle closings. An escrow officer acts as a neutral third party, following signed escrow instructions from both buyer and seller.
Typical Close Timeline
30-60 days for financed sales, as little as 7-21 days for cash sales since there is no lender underwriting or appraisal contingency to wait on.
How Funds Are Disbursed
The escrow officer disburses net proceeds to the seller, pays off any existing liens, and records the grant deed with the county recorder. Many California counties — including Yolo — now e-record deeds same-day.

What Yolo County Landowners Say
“We had a row-crop parcel outside Woodland we'd leased for years and finally decided to sell. PlaceAcre came in with a fair number and closed inside three weeks — no realtor, no MLS.”
Marcus T.
Woodland row-crop landowner
“My family inherited some acreage near Winters and none of us live in California anymore. Handling it long-distance was the hard part, and PlaceAcre made that side of it painless.”
Elena R.
Winters acreage heir
Fascinating Facts About Yolo County
One of California's Original Counties
Yolo County was one of California's original 27 counties, created in 1850 at statehood.
A Patwin Word for "Rushes"
The name "Yolo" comes from a Patwin word variously translated as "a place abounding in rushes."
Cache Creek's Fur-Trapper Origin
Cache Creek, which runs through the county, was named by French-Canadian fur trappers who cached their beaver-pelt hauls in trees along its banks.
UC Davis Began in 1905
UC Davis began in 1905 as an agricultural branch of the University of California, opening to students in 1908 on a 780-acre site. It's now one of the top agricultural research universities in the country — and a major reason the county's farmland stays cutting-edge.
