Central Valley Real Estate Update: San Joaquin, Sacramento, and Stanislaus Counties


The real estate market has seen a dramatic trend the past 12 month with a surprising change in January 2013.

Available houses for sale have steadily declined in 2012 and are currently approximately half of what they were one year ago.

January 2013 experienced a sudden increase in pending sales (25% or greater).

The reduction of available inventory coupled with an increase of pending sales are clear indicators of a changing market.

My prediction for 2013 is:
- inventory levels will remain low
- Buyer demands will remain strong
- Housing prices will increase
- Distressed properties market share will decrease
- Equity sales will increase

Below are real estate trend charts for Sacramento, San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties and are great examples of the trends in most California Counties.
