But first, let’s take a look at the overall sales of the real estate market in the city of Elk Grove. Just 146 homes sold in the month which is an overall unit volume decrease year over year of 39%. Foreclosure sales alone fell 63.5% for the same period. Short sales remained the same at 33 but non-distressed sales gained a whopping 71.4% year over year.
