El Dorado County Real Estate Market Update: October 2009

Sacramento Real Estate Gal - Purva Brown — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 13:05:55 +0000

The same trend that encouraged homebuyers to look outside of Sacramento county and buy a home in El Dorado county is being seen today. Although prices might be a factor, they are not the only reason. The reason might well be that El Dorado county sometimes trails behind Sacramento county in trends. As an example, [...]

Sacramento Real Estate Gal - Purva Brown — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:05:26 +0000

There has been almost no change from month to month for Sacramento county real estate in October, but we could take the perspective of no news is good news. Market condition changes seem to be rumbling under the surface for a while now and this month is definitely an indication of them. For instance, foreclosure [...]

Franklin - Freeport Real Estate Market Update: September 2009

Sacramento Real Estate Gal - Purva Brown — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:40:23 +0000

The typical trend of real estate sales in Sacramento county has been to hover around about $100 per square foot and for sales to pick up in the short sale or non-distressed categories when foreclosure inventory fell below half a month. This in turn makes prices hover around the $100 per square foot mark if [...]

Hope you had a good and scary Halloween weekend because if you’re looking to be scared by the real estate prices in Orangevale, you’re not going to find anything here. Prices actually climbed month over month in Orangevale from $145.72 to $152.12. This is still a year over year decline of 12.9% but that may [...]

Florin Real Estate Market Update: September 2009

Sacramento Real Estate Gal - Purva Brown — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:14:31 +0000

We are beginning to see inventory dwindle but not as fast as some of us would like. And with foreclosure inventory at less than a month consistently, homebuyers everywhere are beginning to take more of an interest in short sales and non-distressed property. The real estate market needs this, of course, to recover. But short [...]

Natomas Real Estate Market Update: September 2009

Sacramento Real Estate Gal - Purva Brown — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:14:22 +0000

Sales fell in Natomas recently - after the big push after foreclosures dominated the market. This month, just 161 homes closed escrow as compared with 199 last September. That’s a unit volume drop in sales of 19.1% year over year. Interestingly enough, both foreclosure sales show a decline year over year at 27% and non-distressed [...]

East Sacramento Real Estate Market Update: September 2009

Sacramento Real Estate Gal - Purva Brown — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:22:37 +0000

No, I’m not imagining it. There really has been price appreciation in East Sacramento. And not just the month to month kind, but the year to year kind, the kind that is considered more dependable. East Sacramento functions pretty much like a textbook area in real estate - the number of foreclosures and short sales [...]

Downtown Sacramento Real Estate Market Update: September 2009

Sacramento Real Estate Gal - Purva Brown — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:07:52 +0000

There are 2 foreclosures and 16 short sales on the active sales market of downtown Sacramento but they aren’t getting much attention. At least so it seems when of the 7 homes that sold in the area last month, there were no foreclosure sales and only one short sale. The rest were non-distressed homes. Overall, [...]

Foothill Farms Real Estate Market Update: September 2009

Sacramento Real Estate Gal - Purva Brown — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:07:51 +0000

With foreclosure sales drying up many homebuyers have begun to consider other areas of real estate that still offer discounts like short sales and some non-distressed property, but that doesn’t seem to be the case in Foothill Farms. Just 41 homes sold in the area, which is a unit volume decline of 34% year over [...]

Arden-Arcade Real Estate Market Update: September 2009

Sacramento Real Estate Gal - Purva Brown — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:01:40 +0000

From a lackadaisical August in Arden-Arcade we come to a September that did better than expected by most in terms of real estate sales and prices. 90 homes sold in the area and we see a unit volume increase of 11.1% year over year. Not bad considering that foreclosure sales fell by 21.7% for the [...]
