Million-dollar home sales fall in Sacramento region, state
Feb. 7--Sales of homes costing $1 million or more fell sharply across the capital region and throughout California last year as buyers remained wary, large mortgages were hard to get and more homes slipped below the benchmark value, researcher MDA Dataquick reported Thursday. A year earlier, the tally was 502 in the eight-county region. DataQuick counted 18,621 California sales with price tags of $1 million or more.
