Real estate in Redding has picked up over the last week, according to our perception.  The number of houses on the market has decreased slightly as we expect it to continue to do as fall draws nearer which always happen as the winter holidays encourage sellers to take homes off the market while they entertain house guests.  We’ve just posted today’s latest Real Estate statistics as you’ll see below:

Residential Listings:  There are currently 1886 active listings and another 393 listings that are pending (in escrow).  Last week there were 1915 active listings with another 402 in escrow which was up from 1,702 active listings 2.5 months ago!
