What Rancho Cordova homeowners should know
Rancho Cordova sits east of downtown Sacramento along US-50, and it’s one of the region’s newest cities, incorporating on July 1, 2003, after 77% of voters approved it. Its housing tells two different stories. The older core near Folsom Boulevard and Zinfandel Drive dates to some of the first postwar production-style housing tracts built for workers at the Aerojet rocket plant and the former Mather Air Force Base, both of which shaped the area for decades. Mather closed as an active base in the 1990s and was redeveloped into a mixed-use community with its own newer housing. Rancho Cordova also carries some Aerojet-related groundwater contamination history, part of a long-running federal cleanup, which occasionally comes up in due diligence on older parcels near the former plant site. Newer master-planned neighborhoods have filled in since incorporation, giving the city a mix of 1950s-60s tract homes and 2000s-era subdivisions.

Why Rancho Cordova owners sell as-is
Aerojet groundwater cleanup legacy
Rancho Cordova sits near the historic Aerojet General Corporation rocket plant site, which is subject to a long-running EPA and state groundwater cleanup covering thousands of acres. Some older properties near the former plant have well-use restrictions or monitoring requirements tied to the site. It’s worth checking whether a specific parcel falls inside the cleanup boundary before listing.
Former Mather Air Force Base redevelopment
Mather Air Force Base closed to active military use in the 1990s and was redeveloped by the county into housing, an airport and business park. Some homes and parcels in this area carry base-conversion deed restrictions or environmental disclosures tied to the base’s military history, which a title search or preliminary report will usually flag.
Mix of 1950s-60s tracts and 2000s subdivisions
Rancho Cordova’s older neighborhoods near Folsom Boulevard were some of the first production-built postwar tracts in the region and are now 60-plus years old, often needing roof, electrical or plumbing updates. Newer subdivisions built since the city’s 2003 incorporation are on the opposite end, with HOA dues and CFD special-tax assessments that fund infrastructure. Either can complicate a traditional sale.

Selling a house for cash in Rancho Cordova
Does my Rancho Cordova home being near the old Aerojet site affect a sale?
It can, depending on exactly where the property sits. Aerojet’s rocket-testing history left a groundwater contamination area covered by a long-running federal and state cleanup, and some nearby parcels have well restrictions or environmental disclosures. A cash sale can move forward around these issues faster than a traditional financed sale, which may require extra environmental review.
I have an older house near Mather. Do base-related restrictions affect selling it?
Some properties in the former Mather Air Force Base redevelopment area carry deed notations or disclosures tied to its military history, which typically show up in a preliminary title report. They don’t usually prevent a sale, but they’re worth flagging early, especially for a buyer who needs financing.
How does Rancho Cordova’s market compare to the rest of the Sacramento area?
As of August 2026, Rancho Cordova’s median sale price was about $535,000, a bit above the city of Sacramento’s roughly $510,000. Homes here also took longer to sell, about 40 days versus 23 in Sacramento, and prices were down slightly year over year, so sellers with homes that need work may find a traditional listing slower than expected.
Do I pay any fees or closing costs when I sell to BAM in Rancho Cordova?
No. There are no commissions or fees, and we pay all of the normal seller closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with, minus only what you owe, like a mortgage payoff or back taxes.
