From downtown Redding to quiet rural properties, Shasta County has something for everyone.
52 five-star reviews from families who trusted me with their biggest investment.
"Nathan was amazing in helping my wife and I find a home. He was very honest and helpful in all the advice we needed as first time home buyers. He considered what was important for me as a husband and father looking to find a safe community."
"We relocated from out of the area and needed a real estate agent. Nathan ended up being the best fit for the job. Not only was he able to land us our dream home, he worked with our mortgage company to fit our very tight budget."
"Nate helped our family buy a home in Redding. He's an awesome real estate agent. We couldn't be happier."
"Nathan took the time and set up opportunities to view quite a few homes before I found the house I wanted. Nate was great with negotiating a solid deal in a competitive market. I was grateful to have him in my corner."
"This was our family's first home buying experience and we were beyond fortunate to have Nate guiding us through every step. During escrow he went to bat for us when other parties were dropping the ball. We recommend him wholeheartedly."
"We could not have picked a better realtor. Nathan was there to answer any questions we had, and if he did not know the answer he got the answer very quickly. Nathan was there even after we moved in to our new home."
"Mr. Cross did a comprehensive search for a home for my family. Unlike other realtors we've dealt with, most every property Nathan showed us ended up being something we were interested in. He never lost his patience."
"Nathan was extraordinary in every aspect. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was able to get a contract for sale on my home within two weeks of the date I listed."
"I loved working with Nathan. He listened and provided exactly what my husband and I desired. My first home buying process was very complicated but Nathan was with me every step of the way."
"We listed our house with Nathan and had a contract on our home within three months—even in a tough market! He was very patient with us as we searched for a new house."
"Nathan did a masterful job finding me the right house, in the right location for the right price. While I was rather selective (actually, quite picky), he came through like a pro."
"Nathan listened carefully while we described our ideal home; how carefully became apparent at the first property we visited—it had all the features we considered 'must-haves'. He was extremely helpful throughout."
"As impressive as Nathan's knowledge of the area was his humbleness when asked a question he didn't know—he found out the answer promptly. Nearly everyone Nathan recommended was top notch."
"Nathan was very professional, responsive and a pleasure to work with. We would utilize his real estate services again in the future if an opportunity arises. I highly recommend working with Nathan."
"Since my husband and I both work, Nathan even met the propane company at the new house to fill the tank and do the inspection. Nathan really went above and beyond what I expected out of a realtor."
"Nathan was very helpful in negotiating issues between us and the buyer. He considered our needs after closing and identified a rental property that was a perfect fit for our family during our transition."
"Of all the real estate transactions I have participated in, this was the easiest, least stressful transaction I have ever experienced. I would recommend him to any home buyer or seller."
"He organized a meeting with all parties to clarify my needs prior to closing, and attended the all-day closing—thank God because there was a glitch in the paperwork that he quickly identified."
"He tirelessly showed us houses until we found our home, and advised our offer as we competed with other interested buyers. We had a million questions and he was always accessible to answer them."
"We gave him parameters, and he created a list that was perfect. Unlike other realtors we've dealt with, most every property Nathan showed us ended up being something we were interested in. His diligence saved us time."
Redding's market in early 2026 is a seller's market with just 2.45 months of supply and a median sale price of $395K. Homes are averaging 92 days on market, and sales volume surged 18% year-over-year in February with 97 homes sold. Well-priced homes are moving quickly, especially in the $300K–$500K range.
The median home price in Redding is $395,000 as of February 2026. Prices vary by neighborhood—Anderson starts in the low $300Ks, while Palo Cedro and Bella Vista tend to run $450K and up. It's still far more affordable than Sacramento or the Bay Area.
Yes—especially if you're coming from a pricier California market. You get more space, lower costs, and an incredible outdoor lifestyle with Shasta Lake, the Sacramento River, and Mt. Shasta nearby. The market is stable, appreciation has been steady, and the area continues to attract remote workers and young families. If your timeline and finances line up, 2026 is a solid time to buy in Shasta County.
Once you're pre-approved, most buyers in Redding find a home within 1-3 months. Once under contract, California escrows typically close in 30-45 days. Budget around 2-4 months total from start to keys-in-hand, though it can move faster in a slower market.
Palo Cedro is a consistent favorite—great schools, larger lots, and a close-knit community feel. Enterprise (east Redding) is popular for its good schools and convenient shopping. Bella Vista offers a rural feel with Redding conveniences nearby. For more affordable options, Anderson has strong community character and easy freeway access.
Look for genuine local experience first—someone who knows the difference between a Palo Cedro property and a Shasta Lake listing. Check Google and Zillow reviews for consistent patterns across multiple clients. Ask how many homes they sold last year (the average agent sells 5-8; Nathan Cross sells 40+). And trust your gut—you'll be working closely with this person for months.
Whether you're buying, selling, or just exploring your options, I'm here to help. No pressure, no obligation — just honest advice from someone who knows this market.
