The market for condos in Sacramento County in April was different from the overall residential market.  Though prices dropped faster than the overall market, unit volume rose less, rising only 11.6% over last year compared to 46% for the market overall.   The average condo sold in Sacramento County in April for $139,758, down 39.9% from […]

We’ve updated our listings database.  It was getting pretty long in the tooth there.
Most people who are users of our web site(s) probably don’t know it, but many of our web sites including this one, our Roseville real estate site and our Elite Properties company site actually rely on two different databases of listings.  When […]

The average condo in Sacramento County sold for $248,895 in November, a .2% increase (huh?  See the statistical notes below) from last November’s average of $248,451.  The median price, however, fell 9.5%, from $245,830 last November to $222,500 this November.  The average sold price per square foot fell 8.3% during this time, from $209.84 last […]

Like the general residential market that is a part of, the market for Sacramento County Condos fell off sharply in September. The median price for a condo sold in September was $195,00, down 18.6% from last year’s median price of $239,595. The average sold price per square foot showed a similar drop […]

I’ve updated our site home lists, including the sections for:

Condos
New Homes
Foreclosures

Most of these sections are pretty much “browse only” as of now, but I plan to have a search tool in place for the foreclosures soon — probably some time this week.
A client once told me that it’d be nice to have such a thing […]

Those of you who do real estate searches from the either our main search page or many of our other search pages have access to listings that are updated six times per week.
I’m not sure why it’s six and not seven.  Presumably it’s to give FTP a Sabbath.  The point is, it’s practically daily, so […]

The city of Davis (zip code 95616) seems to be holding up well in this turbulent market. When contrasted with a few other cities, the number of active listings in Davis have fallen along with the number of solds which keeps prices fairly stable.
In 2006, 406 single family residences sold for a median price of […]

This August, eight-six condos sold in Sacramento County, down 4.4% from last year’s volume of 90 units. The average price of condos sold in August was $227,889, down 5.5% from last year’s average of $241,267. On a sold price per square foot basis, however, the drop was a much more bubbler-friendly 16.2%. […]

In response to a floor call inquiry, I pulled up information on condos located around La Riviera and Salmon Falls and came away pleasantly surprised. Yes, I know I’m going to get blamed again for being an optimist in this market but this time it seems like I might have the numbers to support my […]

Back in the early stages of the nationwide and Sacramento real estate market correction (or, depending on your point of view:  “downturn”, “collapse”, or “debacle”), a few of the folks who read the bubble blogs chided me for being too bullish on the market.  At the time I argued with some success that I wasn’t […]

Taking a look at sales of condos in Sacramento County in July, we find (as expected) a market that is somewhat softer than for single family homes.  At 11.56 months, inventory is a bit higher than the 10.7 months we reported for the residential market as a whole (which includes condos and other residential units – […]

A listing that we just entered into VFlyer / Craigslist, etc. is Vicki Agregado’s beautiful townhome listing in Citrus Heights. I visited this listing with Vicki awhile ago and I was especially struck by what a nice setting it, on a shady cul de sac in front and with a large greenbelt in the back.  Check […]

In June, Condos in Sacramento County fared about the same as Sacramento County real estate in general.  The eighty-two condos that sold in Sacramento County in June fetched an average price of $243,786 in June, down 6.6% from last year’s $261,129.  The median price dropped 2.6%, from $228,500 to $221,500.  With this year’s average footprint being somewhat […]

Last night I went to meet one of my company’s agents, Jamie, to help her with an offer she was working on for a buyer at a new home subdivision, Pavilions Condos.
It was an unusual Friday evening of work.  I happened to be in Sacramento enjoying a few hours off, so it was easy to […]

We’ve updated our lists that we refresh periodically for the following popular property categories:

Condos for Sale in Sacramento County
New Homes in Placer, El Dorado and Sacramento Counties
Sacramento County Duplexes

Enjoy!

I’ve been working with several parents of Sac State students in recent months who have decided that rather than spending their money on a dormitory for their college age son or daughter, they can enjoy the short term tax benefits and long term appreciation and value of purchasing a condo near campus instead.
Fortunately there are […]

We have newly updated listings for condos in Sacramento County and Sacramento County duplexes. We’ve also updated our lists of new homes in El Dorado County, Placer County, and, last but not least, Sacramento County.

I’ve updated the listings for Sacramento County condos, and duplexes, as well as our list of new homes in El Dorado County, Placer County, and, last but not least, Sacramento County.
Also, if you’ve seen those pages lately, I have to apologize for the bug that crept in to the new home and duplex pages, in […]

I’ve been working with a client who’s been touring some of the Rivage condos in Folsom with me. These are beautiful brand new condos built by John Laing, just across the street (East Natoma) from their earlier, similar development, Esplanade. They’re running about $331,990 to $370,990 for the units we saw, and feature […]

Congratulations to my clients, Gene and Carol, on their exciting purchase of a three bedroom condo near Sac State that closed today. They had wanted a condo for their daughter who’s still going to school there and her friends to rent, and we finished this escrow with lots of good war stories that I […]

November’s numbers for condo sales in Sacramento County were not much different from residential sales in Sacramento overall, with modest drops in prices from last year. The average price of a condo in Sacamento County dropped 5.3% from last November’s $262,774, with the average this year coming in at $248,330. Since this year’s […]

Wow, it’s been awhile. Fortunately you always have access to the latest listings on our search page, because our condo listings were looking a bit long in the tooth there. But no matter, they’re updated now, so you can get the latest condo listings here.
Well, that’s what I get for being out selling […]

I got a call from Chris the other day, the seller of a lovely condo I’d shown on Bremen. (See Listing Details or More Photos). It turns out this condo probably wasn’t a fit for the buyer I showed it to, but Chris followed up and asked me to point out some of […]

I just took a minute to look at the condo numbers for October in Sacramento County, and I found that the numbers did not vary very much from Sacramento’s residential market overall. Actually the numbers were slightly more favorable.
Traditionally, people say that the condo market is the first to turn down when the market […]

I’ve updated the listings in the Sacramento Condo area of the site.
In addition, we have a new batch of new home listings for El Dorado County, Sacramento County, and Placer County.
Finally, I’ve updated the Sacramento County Duplex Listings.
As always, you can get the most up to date listings via the […]

I was just looking at some (MLS) numbers for condos in Sacramento County for June, and two things stand out (at least to me). The first is that they’re not as bad as I had expected they would be based on some earlier number crunching I’ve done. That’s not to say they’re great, […]

This May’s Sacramento County Condo Market is down by any measure you care to name from last year. The only exceptions are those where the market is more “down” if the numbers are more up. That is to say, days on market are up and expired listings are up. If you’ve been […]

I updated the Sacramento County Duplex Listings page a few days ago, and today I got a plea from a buyer asking me to do the same for the area New Home Listings. While I was at that, I also of course went after the Condo Listings.
I have to apologize for my slowness […]

We’ve updated our listings for Sacramento County Condos. Enjoy.

As we’ve seen in all segments of the market, sales are down somewhat from last year, with more listings expired unsold. Condo sales are no exception to this general rule.
Condo owners saw their property values increase by 15.1% from November to November. However, since this year’s average condo was larger than last year, […]
