Sacramento Region Year End Summary : Surprise!

Sacramento Region Year End Summary : Sur...

It is hard to believe that 2008 home sales for Sacramento and Yolo Counties were up 81% from 2007.  Is this proof that Sacramento truly was the hardest hit for foreclosure? My guess is that when investors realized that they could buy distressed and foreclosed properties at less than the cost to build, and they could once again start to accrue rental properties for ABOVE WATER prices, Rich Dad/Poor Dad started all over again.

Side note: an agent in our office just wrote an offer for a home in Tahoe Park that was listed for $33,000.  You could buy a home in California on your credit card – providing you were the winner in multiple offers.
