We're seeing the same thing in Sacramento. It's a good market right now, especially for homes under $250,000. Of course, it also means I have to sell twice as many. :) But that's OK. A little extra hard work doesn't kill anybody.
Elizabeth- I too am going to have to sell more to make up for the price drop, but I'm well on my way. Thanks for the comment.
That is great news for Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties. At least the inventory is moving even though the prices have dropped.
I hope things are still going well. How about an update post. Happy New year.
