A quick commute to downtown Sacramento, Arden Park is a highly sought neighborhood known for its highly rated public schools, tree-lined streets, long-term residents, large lots, and well, its parks.

Nearby schools include Mariemont Elementary School, Arden Middle School, and Rio Americano High School.

There are two parks in the community - La Sierra Park (located in the middle of the neighborhood on La Sierra Drive), and Cresta Park (at the center of three streets - Las Cruces Drive, Esperanza Drive, and Cresta Way).  La Sierra Park is home to the Arden Park Parks and Recreation Facility.

Arden Park is home to many community events, such as Easter Egg hunts, Soccer, 4th of July parades, Concerts in the Park, and more.  Their neighborhood association is very committed to preserving the atmosphere of the neighborhood, and have formed many groups to promote community interests, such as the Arden Park Tree Foundation,  Arden Park Neighborhood Preservation Area, Arden Park Homeowner's Association, etc.

Homes in the neighborhood generally range from $400,000 on the low end to upward of $2,000,000.

The numbers for February just came out, and as I suspected - pending sales are up...and not just a slight jump. They are up about 37%! In addition, the average home selling price rose from $277k to $281k in Sacramento County.

Some other interesting tidbits of information...bank owned property pending sales represented 1,003 of the 1,681 transactions in March! The average amount of listing inventory based on pending sales in March in Sacramento County was 5.3 months. The average amount of Bank-owned listing inventory based on pending sales for March in Sacramento County is 2.5 months.

Don't misinterpret my message...I still think we are in a heavily lopsided buyer's market in most parts of Sacramento County. I will be curious to see if this increase in activity continues in March. My sense is that it will - if my own personal activity is any reflection of the rest of the market's activity. I suppose we will see next month when the March numbers are released. If anyone is interested in viewing more charts for specific areas, please let me know and I am happy to email them to you.
