DECEMBER 2023 Home Sale Trends in Sacramento County: Buckle up, home buyers and sellers, because the housing market is taking a wild ride. While summer is typically when houses fly off the shelves, this year things are eerily quiet. Home sales have dipped below even last year's sluggish figures, leaving many wondering - are we heading for a housing crash? The answer, like any good house hunting adventure, isn't simple. Rising interest rates and stubbornly high prices have put the brakes on buyer enthusiasm. Yet, amidst the slowdown, there are whispers of opportunity. Inventory is slowly creeping up, giving buyers more options, and some experts predict a stabilization later in the year. So, should you buy, sell, or wait it out? Stay tuned, because as the temperatures rise and the days lengthen, the housing market is about to heat up in its own unique way.
