Sacramento County Listing and Sales Statistics for December 2019

By
Real Estate Agent

Sacramento County experienced a -45.6% decrease in number of homes listed FOR SALE in December 2019 vs. the same month a year ago.  For the same period there was a 7.8% increase in the percentage of homes SOLD.  Pending sales increased 10%.  
 
Interest rates continue to remain reasonably low. It's a GREAT time to buy for those who are finding suitable homes.

Good morning, Myrl... your inventory is as razor thin as ours. I don't see any big changes at my end... what do you forecast for yours?

That is quite a drop, do you see that number increasing significantly in January?

Our inventory has been sparse for quite some time. However, December's -45 percent drop is significant.

Hello Myrl - there is always a neeed for suitable real estate choices.  It may be a bit more difficult some times but it's good news for serious sellers in Sacramento and truly prepared buyers too.  A very good report.

Good morning Myrl!

The laws of economics is working in consumers favor! They would be wise to contact you for homes to buy and sell. You have something that 80% of the agents in Sacramento don't have - years of solid and successful sales.

Hi ya Myrl: Yeah, the market is freakin' insane. We can't hardly keep anything in inventory and my partner is running ragged.

That is a considerable drop in inventory. I wonder if that is just an anomaly?

Those are some pretty dramatic shifts, Myrl. I don't often look at our county, but we saw some big changes year over year in a number of communities. Carlsbad saw a 25% drop in inventory from a year ago but significantly more sales in December.

Myrl we all know it is a good sign when pended and JUST SOLDS have increased. Wonder why listings are down 45.6% though. Thank you very much for sharing what's going on in your Real Estate Market.
