Sacramento Housing Market Trends: Double the Inventory

By
Real Estate Agent with Elizabeth Anne Weintraub, Broker DRE #00697006

The unsung tale in the September housing report in Sacramento is the bulk of inventory in the upper end range. Looking at August numbers, in the $800+ range, we had 5 to 7 months of inventory, which is not reflected in this chart. Our September inventory overall, in the chart above, shows 2.4 months of residential homes for sale in the county, which is twice the number from January.

I like to think we could have used that inventory in March when buyers were clamoring for more choices. But it might have turned out the same way anyhow. You can read more in my personal blog today at this link: Sacramento Housing Trends for September 2018: Twice the Homes.

Hi Elizabeth Weintraub Sacramento Real Estate Agent, Top 1% of Lyon Agents, this is an outstanding real estate market update for Sacramento. You're absolutely right, increase in inventory means, it's a great time to buy.

I have been amazed at how quickly inventory has increased these past few months.  Especially, in September!  You're an old timer in this profession, Elizabeth, like I am.  Aren't you amazed that some folks see a boogy man in 5% interest rates.  You and I both remember November of 1981 when they were 18 1/2%.

Elizabeth- what I love about your market trends is that you don't just present numbers. You fill in with what you know and for the person who isn't an agent, that's important!

Beth Atalay I'm noticing it in my closings as the buyers are slightly beginning to outnumber the sellers.

Myrl Jeffcoat My advice to you is STOP LOOKING at your retirement accounts, which is probably what you were doing when the market dropped 800 points yesterday. Because if buyers were truly worried about interest rates, they would make plans to buy RIGHT NOW instead of waiting like I hear some are doing. Rates are only gonna go up. But I'm not seeing very many buyers worried about interest rates.

It's investors in the stock market who are unhappy.

We have more inventory too and that is good for buyers. They were getting really frustrated getting beat out and never being able to buy.
