STRONG OCTOBER CLOSE PREDI CTED I N SACRAMENTOREAL ESTATE MARKET
Sacramento, CA October 10, 2012 Real estate, market momentum continues in the
Sacramento region, according to industry veteran Pat Shea, President and COO, Lyon Real
Estate. Expect a strong closing month in October as the roll-over of open escrows will have
more time, 23 days to close, predicts Shea.
Shea reports that the average sales price of $249,000 and median of $217,000 continue a slow
but steady ascent and that cash buyers and low interest rates continue to inspire all types of
buyers. Sellers should continue to follow their lead and take full advantage of our unique and
bright market conditions, says Shea.
According to Trendgraphix, a Sacramento based data aggregator, 2,175 closings were reported
in the four county area for September. Seven hundred eleven or 33% were of the Short Sale
variety and 314 or 14% of the closed units were REO or Bank Owned properties.
Trendgraphix reported a robust 2,718 new, open sales for the month of September, notable in
light of the abbreviated business month and atypical of traditional, seasonal fall off. June, July
and August all reflected similar open units north of 2,700. Thirty-six percent or 922 of those
units were Short Sales and 12% or 322 units were REO. Fifty-three percent of both closed and
new, open sales were from home sellers with equity.
Shea reports that these consistent trends indicate that the mysterious shadow inventory is
unlikely to present any meaningful, future influence on our market.
Sacramento real estate enthusiasts are encouraged to scrutinize September data and all
related opinions should they suggest a softening of market momentum, says Shea. Lower,
closed unit numbers are largely reflective of the 19 day business month in September 2012 as

compared to 23 in August and 21 in September of 2011. This represents approximately 20%
less time to transact new listings, sales and closings.
