DataQuick released its numbers today and they show new and exising home sales are up 41.6 percent in August from the same time last year. This includes homes in Sacramento, Yolo, Placer and El Dorado Counties. Don't believe me? I can hear those skeptics who think that the Sacramento housing market is crumbling around us nay-saying reports of rising sales. You can read it here in the Sacramento Business Journal. The number of closed sales as compared to July dropped slightly, but still, the year-over-year closed sales are doing almost twice as well. That's comforting news is a world filled with otherwise terrible economic news.
