Erin Attardi's Blog

There is a great article in the Sacramento Bee today. Look people, despite all the mass media doom and gloom regarding the Real Estate market, many areas in Sacramento (and surrounding counties too) are still doing really well!!! The areas that are suffering the most are those where new home construction is still rampant - Elk Grove, Natomas, Lincoln, etc...

Luckily for me I do little or no business in those areas. If you look at my current active listings, you will see the majority right now are in the Land Park area (you can see my listings here: http://erin.golyon.com/listings.html). The bulk of my real estate transactions are in Downtown / Midtown Sacramento, East Sacramento, Land Park, Curtis Park, Tahoe Park, Arden, Carmichael, Rosemont / College Greens, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Citrus Heights, and Antelope. If you want to learn more about these areas, visit http://www.erinattardi.com/communities.php.

Well the June stats just came out...total inventory keeps climbing. I thought it might be fun to take a trip down memory lane by showing the current inventory stats as compared with stats June 2004.

Behold! The top chart shows inventory from April 2003 - June 2004...a seller dominated market.
The bottom chart shows inventory from April 2006 - June 2007...a buyer dominated market. If you click on the charts, you can see enlarged versions.

Sellers...do NOT overprice your homes!! Buyers have a lot of choices.

Sacramento County Crime Mapping Tool

If you live in Sacramento County, or are interested in living in the County jurisdiction, you might be interested to check out the Sacramento County Sheriff Department's crime mapping tool. You can search an entire zip code, a radius around an address, near a park, etc. Little icons are used to represent different types of crimes, and you can search back as far as 90 days. Pretty interesting...
