Pended Sales Rebound

 

TRENDGRAPHIX’s latest report shows a 38% increase in pended sales for the month of June for the four-county region of Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo Counties. This increase was surprising; especially given the 12% decline in pended sales the previous month. Seeing such a steep increase in sales in conjunction with increasing inventory and flat prices is not common. “We can only attribute this to 50 year lows in interest rates and well priced inventory,” stated Michael Lyon, CEO - Lyon Real Estate. “Most sellers realize that only aggressively priced properties are selling now; which is giving buyers a lot of options. This latest jump in pended sales is yet another recovery step towards stable housing prices.”

 

The June Trendgraphix report also shows that closed sales decreased 2% during the month of June for the four-county region of Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo Counties; and June 2010 sales were 2% lower than June 2009. June 2010 inventory of 7,529 homes for sale is 4% higher than June 2009 inventory, representing a 51% decrease from the regional inventory record high of 15,302 homes for sale set in August 2007.
