City of West Sacramento Sales: Trend Graph of Past Three Years

By Leave a Comment

I’m been crunching numbers since 5am this morning and thought I’d share a graph with you. This is a broad view of a market I am doing an appraisal in right now. This scatter graph is based on all single family detached sales in the city of West Sacramento from October 2006 to October 2009 (Sacramento MLS). It’s always interesting to me to take in a view of the entire market before analyzing and graphing smaller and more comparable niches within that market.

Tax Appeal Reminder: November 30, 2009 Deadline for Sacramento County (and many local counties)

By Leave a Comment

This is an important reminder. The deadline to appeal property taxes in Sacramento County and most surrounding counties is November 30, 2009. I run a website called www.SacramentoTaxAppeals.com to help property owners in the Greater Sacramento Region in the process of disputing property taxes. We also handle commercial tax appeals depending on the property. We’ve been getting quite a few calls from local property owners lately because the deadline is quickly approaching.

Disputing property taxes does not make good economic sense for everyone, but if it does (or might) for you, let’s talk. If you have questions about the appeals process and whether you might be a good candidate to contest your property taxes this year, feel free to call 916-595-3735 or email me at ryan@SacramentoTaxAppeals.com.

“Tahoe Park” Real Estate Market Data in Sacramento: The Past 90 Days

By Leave a Comment

What’s the latest in the “Tahoe Park” market in Sacramento? Below is some basic data based on information from Sacramento MLS as of 10/28/09. The points on the graph represent sales within the entire Tahoe Park neighborhood – all four sections.  I wrote previously about the different areas of Tahoe Park HERE as well as a look at thirty-six months of the market in Tahoe Park.

Tahoe Park Real Estate Market Data:

  • 36 sales over the past 90 days (07/28/09 – 10/28/09)
  • 15 current Active listings
  • 17 current Active Short Sale listings
  • 26 Pendings
  • Low sale in past 90 days: $67,000
  • High sale in past 90 days: $349,500

This graph is a bit interesting. It looks almost like a fork that represents two different segments of the market – a lower end and a higher end. So what does each of those lines represent? Now there is a great question worth exploring. Any thoughts? Let me know if you have any questions or a need for further research. Call me at 916-595-3735 or email ryan@lundquistcompany.com.

Photos from the Field: Jacked House & River in West Sacramento

By Leave a Comment

I was driving through West Sacramento today after an appraisal inspection and I snapped the following images while taking comp photos. This house is located off of Jefferson Blvd. and is jacked up on what appears to be stilts. Maybe it was recently moved? Maybe it is awaiting a permanent foundation? Things like this interest me.

Here is an image of the Sacramento River from South River Road in West Sacramento. The River divides Yolo County from Sacramento County. I really enjoy days when I get to appraise properties near locations like this because the scenery is just wonderful to take in and the drive is so peaceful. Regarding properties along the river, most houses do not have a direct view of the river due to the levy, but some do have water rights, which can make a huge difference in market value. If you are from the area, do you ever take drives along South River Road or even in places like Iselton, Courtland and surrounding Sacramento Delta areas?
