In the Central Valley, existing home sales are up 9.9 percent year-to-year, and the average home price is up to $395,000, a 14.7 percent increase. 

Homes in the Central Valley are moving fast as the median number of days a listing is on the market comes it at seven. The unsold inventory index is reported at 1.8 months, far below the 6-8 month range that is considered normal. 

The sales price to list price ratio is 100.1 percent, meaning sellers are receiving offers that match what they are asking for. 

Here’s a look at the month-to-month and year-to-year median sale price data for Central Valley counties:
