Redding is located on edge of the Central Valley in the shadow of Mt Shasta and is the county seat of Shasta County. It now has a population of approximately 107,741 due to recent annexations.

Redding real estate  is always in demand because of being close to Shasta Lake. Rain falls abundantly in the Winters in Redding, and snow will occasionally fall on colder winter days.

While the official high temperature in July is listed at 120 degrees, the temperature has been known to reach 125 in some areas of Redding.

In recent decades an influx of retirees from the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles seeking lower cost housing and a slower pace of life has caused a shift in the city’s economic base towards the service sectors of medical, legal, retail and tourism. There are now many retirement communities, some gulf resort, that are located in the Redding/Shasta area. However, the unemployment rate is still above the state average, and with little industry, wages are low.
