Tehama County lies in the northern Sacramento Valley between Chico and Redding, roughly 65,000+ residents anchored by Red Bluff, the county seat, along with Corning, Tehama, and Los Molinos strung along the Sacramento River and Interstate 5. Agriculture drives the economy here, with olives and olive oil around Corning, walnuts, almonds, cattle ranching, and dried plums shaping a rural working landscape. The median home value near $295,000 makes Tehama one of the more affordable markets in the north state, dominated by older single-family homes, ranch properties, and workforce housing. Investors work low-basis value-add flips, agricultural-worker and workforce rentals in Red Bluff and Corning, and small multifamily along the I-5 corridor.
