Chocolate Box of Real Estate + Wine ( + Chocolate) = Fabulous Living...

Sacramento Region's Wineries

One of the Best Reasons for Living in Northern California

Chocolate Box of Real Estate + Wine ( + Chocolate) = Fabulous Living...

Now that's the kind of math formula I can do... is it Algebra by Chance?

Not everyone can say that they are going to go to Villa Toscana for lunch - and then be back in time for work in downtown Sacramento... One of the best things about living in Sacramento is our proximity to the fantastic wine producing areas such as Amador County, El Dorado County, San Joaquin County, Placer County and even Napa and Sonoma Counties are only an hour drive away!  

If you'd like to do a tour on a weekend, there are wonderful places to stay all over the area.  Bed & Breakfast destinations abound and restaurants featuring local food and wines are springing up all over the valley's and the foothills too.  The Regions new Gold Rush may just not be golden at all but rather, deep, rich and wine-colored.

When I lived in Pasadena, one of the things I missed was the proximity to this gorgeous viticultural nature and beauty.  I loved having the flexibility to just 'pop over' and do an afternoon of wine tasting!  It just isn't the same thing to go to a wine room in a town and sit and sip a flight...

If this life-style is appealing to you too, if you enjoy arts and food and beautiful surroundings but don't know where you'd like to move to, consider us!  It really is where most of us have worked a life-time to be able to live.  It is Napa, Italy, San Francisco and 'Hometown, USA' all rolled into one!  

I've been a Realtor since 1986 and know my way around 'the block!'  If you are looking for a good Realtor to learn more about Sacramento and beyond - please contact me at nbudilo@golyon.com   You can also begin your inquiry on my web site  www.NBudilo@golyon.com    In the meantime, here is a map of wineries for you to dream about visiting.  October and November are 'Harvest Season' and it is also a fantastic time to invest in Real Estate!  Salut!

EXUBERANCE FOR SACRAMENTO REAL ESTATE IS RELENTLESS

Sacramento, CA – May 9, 2013 – “Our market run will not end anytime soon,” according to Pat

Shea, President and COO of Lyon Real Estate. “Affordability is at a 30 year high, house

payments are half of what they were at the peak and continued low interest rates all spell

stability and growth in Greater Sacramento real estate.” Shea notes that the market has been

highly strengthened through buyers that have both cash and traditional loans invested in their

homes.

Shea reports that all price points continue to experience steady month over month increases in

both new and closed sales. Specifically, 3009 pended sales in April reflect a 77% increase over

new sales posted in December and he adds that “the $750,000 and over market continues to

move with 79 new sales in April versus 22 in December.”

Shea believes stability is certain as “defaults and foreclosures have dropped precipitously in our

market with non-distressed properties representing 80% of current active listings.” He cites

data provided by Trendgraphix, a real estate reporting company based in Sacramento.

An adequate supply of homes has been a 2013 concern throughout the region with an apparent

demise of the fabled shadow inventory. “April closed with a 13% higher active listing count over

March 2013,” said Shea. “More importantly, the 31% increase in average sales price year over

year has provided appreciation in all neighborhoods that is enabling formerly upside down

homeowners to make their next move.”

Shea encourages all prospective home sellers and buyers to look forward. “The concept of

recovery is swiftly becoming obsolete, we’re already there,” said Shea. “Prices and interest rates

will rise, it’s inevitable. So, he says, “Do everything possible right now, to secure the home and

neighborhood of your dreams while the values remain extraordinary.”
