The average sales price in Sacramento County during the 1st quarter of the year was $167,666. As of July 1st 2009 it climbed to $174,188! That is the first in over 4 years that we saw appreciation in Sacramento County. There are lots of great deals out there, short sales are the name of the game and we’re getting close to crunch time knowing that deadline for the first time home buyer $8,000 tax credit will be November 30th, 2009. What separates me from other Realtors in the business is that I consult with all of my buyers and sellers with an in depth presentation and wants and needs analysis so that everyone feels comfortable with the buying and selling process and that they know what to expect when looking to buy a foreclosure or a short sale.
