Market Trends: Past 90 Days in the Rosemont Area

By Leave a Comment

What’s been happening in the Rosemont area of Sacramento in terms of real estate activity? The trend graph below is based upon the past 90 days of sales and listings from information provided in Sacramento MLS (the only listings included in the graph are those which were actually listed in the past 90 days – some listings have been on the market for well over 90 days and were not used in the graph).

From the trend graph it appears that there are many recent sales and current listings being priced between $175-200K. It appears too that there are a good amount of listings priced below the level of the most recent sales, which is a classic feature of a declining market.

Data for Rosemont Area of Sacramento as of 02/27/09:

  • 7 current Actives
  • 20 current Short Sale Actives
  • 20 current Pendings
  • 27 sales over the past 90 days
  • Median Price of $190,000 over past 90 days
  • Average price per square foot over past 90 days: $126.33

The graph and data is based upon the following boundaries:

The Mather Real Estate Market – Past 3 Years

By Leave a Comment

What has been happening in the Mather real estate market? Here is a trend graph of the past 36 months of sales (blue) within the Mather area as well as all current listings (red). What do you notice?

Mather Data from MLS, DataQuick, and Realist:

  • 24 sales in past 90 days (MLS)
  • 11 sales since January 1, 2009 (MLS)
  • 41 current listings on the market – 10 pending, 18 short sale actives, 13 actives (MLS)
  • Decline of 17.40% when comparing January 2008 home sales with January 2009 home sales (Data Quick HERE)
  • 21 houses in pre-foreclosure (Realist)

There are 1271 homes in the Mather community, which was built by KB Homes, and dreamed up by the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency. SHRA spearheaded the building project as an attempt to breathe life back into the Mather area when Mather Air Base was closed in 1988 (huge effects in the community and in Rancho Cordova too). Independence at Mather is an HOA with very minimal monthly fees (basically to cover front landscaping – no swimming pool or clubhouse). Mather is close to a local golf course, lake, trails, the Sacramento Speedway, and Mather Airport.

If you are a home owner in Mather, what is it that attracts you to this community? What are the benefits? What are the downfalls?

If anyone needs further information or has any needs for a real estate appraisal in Mather, I am glad to assist.

Vintage Park Real Estate Market in Sacramento

It’s interesting to take a look at what the market is doing in a neighborhood by comparing sales over the past months as well as current listings. Here is a graph I made this afternoon on current sales over the past year within the Vintage Park neighborhood in the Sacramento area (95828 zip code only – not 95829). The blue dots are sales and the red dots are current listings. Click the following thumbnail image to enlarge:
