And, as you’ll see, the story that we’ve been reciting since early January marches on this week.

Gaudy Solano County Home Sales Figures For March: More Proof We’ve Reached The Bottom?
April 26th, 2009 categories: Benicia, Buying, Fairfield-Gr Valley, Market Update, Selling, Solano, Suisun City, The Economy, Vacaville, Vallejo
March’s home sales numbers were again ‘off the charts’ throughout Solano County when compared to last March and they’re also stronger than Feburary’s totals, which, in turn, were stronger than January’s numbers.
All of this adds credence to the notion that the market may have already hit bottom in the lowest price ranges, as opportunistic investors and eager first-time buyers continue to descend on the market in record numbers.

Solano Home Sales & Listings Report For The Week Ending Apr. 20
April 23rd, 2009 categories: Benicia, Buying, Fairfield-Gr Valley, Market Update, Selling, Suisun City, Vacaville, Vallejo
With each successive week, the story remains pretty much the same — more sales and even fewer homes to choose from throughout most of Solano County.
Last week was no exception, especially in Vallejo, Fairfield, Vacaville and Suisun City. Only Benicia saw an increase in its inventory. The other four cities all saw their housing supplies continue to drop.
In raw numbers, Vallejo led the way with 52 fewer homes to choose from this week than a week ago. That’s a drop of 9.8% in just one week. Since early January, Vallejo’s total inventory of homes has fallen by 45.6% — from 878 to 478.

Have We Hit Bottom? Solano Home Sales & Listings Report For The Week Ending Apr. 13
April 14th, 2009 categories: Benicia, Buying, Fairfield-Gr Valley, Market Update, Selling, Solano, Suisun City, Vacaville, Vallejo
After almost three and a half months, I think we can call the continued weekly
reduction in the housing supply combined with strong sales activity throughout most of Solano County more than just a blip on the radar.
I think it’s now safe to call it a “trend” and perhaps an indication that we may have already hit “bottom” in most of the county.
If you’ve been following my weekly housing report since the beginning of the year, you know that inventory has been plummeting in Vallejo, Fairfield, Suisun and Vacaville on a weekly basis.
Benicia’s Inventory Drops Too…That’s Two Straight Weeks
While Benicia’s stats have been the lone exception over this period, with listings up one week and down the next, even Solano’s highest-priced city has now seen a drop in its housing supply and an increase in sales for two consecutive weeks, suggesting that Benicia’s market may finally be about to follow its Solano sister cities.

April 7th, 2009 categories: Benicia, Buying, Fairfield-Gr Valley, Market Update, Selling, Solano, Suisun City, Vacaville, Vallejo
Another week, another drop in housing inventory throughout the county.
Even Benicia got into the act this week, as its supply of available homes dropped by 5.1%.
But in terms of raw numbers, Vallejo led the way,with an almost unbelievable 11% drop in its housing inventory this week alone.
For the year, Vallejo’s supply of homes has dropped by 36.2%. But year-to-date honors in that category goes to Suisun City, where the inventory has dropped almost in half (46.6%) since the first of the year.
Sales were again strong this week throughout the county. This week’s details: Read the rest of this entry »
