vacaville: January Home Sales Off To A Good Start Throughout Solano County…How Did Your Community Fare? - 02/05/09 05:24 PM
January Home Sales Much Stronger Than A Year Ago Throughout Solano County
January got off to a much better start this year than in 2008, at least if you judge it by comparing the number of homes sales. Whereas 2008 got off to a rather tame start amid softening prices and looming economic worries, 2009 took off right where 2008 ended, with much more robust sales activity, particularly in the county’s most affordable cities.
