BIG MARKET UPDATE
For those interested, here’s a big Sacramento market update:
THE SHORT VERSION:
Here is a highlight reel to talk through some of the bigger themes right now. In short, the stats are stunning and this is likely the most competitive market we’ve ever had. Demand is simply excessive while supply is anemic.
QUICK RECAPS:
I’m thinking about doing these charts every month. Do you like them?
NOTE: I’m not going to do Yolo or El Dorado County charts because there aren’t enough sales. Stats would be ALL over the place year over year.
THE LONGER VERSION (organized by county):
1) Sacramento Region
2) Sacramento County
3) Placer County
4) El Dorado County
