January home sales in the west are WAY up!

February 25, 2009 ·  

I just caught this article off of Google AP.  I’m passing it along because it gives more detailed picture of the January sales report.  NAR reports existing home sales where down to their lowest levels in six years.  However, if you look at the western region, they are up 32.1 percent from a year ago.  Although prices are down, sales jumped 57% in the bay area!!  Buyers are clearly taking advantage of the high inventory.  What a great time for young families to get into that first home!

    Thanks for the Article Dean,
    I’m glad many first time home buyers are taking advantage of this market, there are plenty of great homes out there.
