Solds in the Inland Empire/01/01/2008-01/31/2008

February 5, 2008

I thought it would be interesting to track the number of single family properties that transferred title (sold) in January of the past 4 years. If I can make these comparisons each month, I am hopeful that I will be aware of the time that the downward trend in the number of properties sold either flattens out or ceases. By now folks who listen to the media or read newspapers are well aware that the real estate housing market is experiencing an adjustment. In my tracking, I am not examining prices, but rather focusing on the number of units sold.
