The rental market remains healthy despite high unemployment and furlough days here in the Sacramento area. It seems many people are downsizing and certainly are not purchasing in great numbers. They have to live somewhere and rentals are the option that makes the most sense. Sales are strong at the bottom end and this is due to entry level buyers and investors grabbing the lower prices. If you own a rental, hang on to it if you can. Investors that are upside down are still letting theirs go, keeping the foreclosure pipeline alive.
