EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Sacramento experienced some dramatic shifts through 2013. Q1-2
was equal in price gains to the white hot surge of 2004 and 2005 when
the Sacramento market peaked. Q3-4 reflected the slow declines from
2009 - 2011. Overall the County saw very strong appreciation with
the median price increasing 28% for the year, however only 1.7% of
the gain was in the 2nd
half of the year.
Strong increases and positive growth are expected for the Sacramento
region in 2014. The market has solidified for several reasons:
increases in the number of homes for sale by more than 100%+ from
January to December, interest rates remain near historic lows,
affordability is above 50%, and the CA economy is improving.
While housing fundamentals have improved dramatically (reduced
foreclosure filings, low interest rates, greater inventory), other factors
seemed to hamper the market during the last half of 2013 (political
uncertainty, flight of large investors, unemployment).
The Housing sector of the National Economy has regained much
ground. The U.S. and California markets experienced substantial gains
in 2013. However, the U.S. economy did not perform very strongly in
2013 and may turn out to be a drag on the housing recovery.
Lending is also expected to become more difficult in 2014 with the
implementation of the Qualified Mortgage (QM) standards which raises
the requirements lenders must use to qualify potential borrowers. One
upside of continued government intrusion into mortgage markets is
that interest rates will likely remain low through 2014.
More good news is the number of distressed property sales in
Sacramento declined 60%+ to represent only 18% of sales in
December 2013. Foreclosed property inventory still held by banks is
also down (-27%) from December 2012 to December 2013.

THE EXPERTS WEIGH IN:
Sacramento Appraiser: Ryan Lundquist
The two chapters of real estate for 2013
There was one real estate market in 2013, but it was split into two chapters. The first
chapter took place from January to June and it was marked by rapid appreciation,
incredibly low housing inventory, very low interest rates and high levels of investor cash.
Between May and June though, the market began to shift, which then became more
noticeable in stats in July. This leads us to chapter two, which took place between July
and December 2013, and was marked by flat values, increasing interest rates, a doubling
of housing inventory and cash investors exiting the market. It was as if the market was
on fire for half the year, but then the momentum shifted in early summer to really slow
things down for the rest of the year.
One of the byproducts of an increase in inventory and flight of cash investors has been
FHA and conventional buyers gaining a better share of the market. In fact, there are
now more FHA sales than cash sales in Sacramento County, which hasn’t happened in
almost two years. The market is ultimately normalizing as inventory increases, which is

Wright Report
leading to buyers generally having more power to negotiate. It is still a Seller’s market,
but buyers are gaining ground.
Foreclosures have basically hit the bottom and short sales have persisted to decline too.
There has been a 1% increase in foreclosures over the past quarter.
Now a new chapter has begun for 2014 and the market is poised to be much more
driven by the fundamentals. It is going to be an interesting ride this coming year to see
how the market unfolds.

Rental Housing Association: Jim Lofgren
After struggling for many years, rental housing investors finally are experiencing
increases in both property values and rental income. However, these gains are offset by
increases in utility rates, parcel taxes and regulatory fees.
Tired of cutting programs to balance their budgets, local governing bodies think the
modest improvement in the economy gives them the green light to pursue revenue
enhancements. While many of the proposed or approved increases by themselves seem
minor in terms of the actual percentage or dollar amount, the cumulative effect could
be significant.
Rental owners should anticipate increases in water and waste hauling rates, approval of
new parcel taxes to fund library and fire services, and bumps in regulatory fees, such as
fire inspection fees for multifamily properties. Fortunately, industry advocates,
particularly the Rental Housing Association (RHA), managed to temper most increases.
One bright spot was the changes to the Rental Housing Inspection Program in the City of
Sacramento. At the request of RHA, the City Council amended its mandatory rental
inspection program to include a self-certification option. This change allows rental
owners, whose properties passed the initial inspection, to perform the annual
inspection rather than code enforcement officials. The cost saving change reduced the
need for additional city staff and allowed the City Council to reduce the annual
inspection program fee by 46 percent, from $28 per unit to $16.
On the regulatory front, the forecast of persistent and serious drought conditions will
lead to stricter water conservation measures throughout the region. The voluntary call
for citizens to reduce water consumption by 20 to 25 percent reductions helped, but
residential properties, especially apartment communities, can be water gluttons and,
therefore, will be targets for further conservation measures.
Smoking restrictions continue to be a pesky topic for city and county governments as
their elected officials grapple with both shifts in public opinion and changes in voter-
approved laws within and outside of California. Beyond just restrictions on tobacco
smoke, elected officials now must deal with the cultivation and use of marijuana as well

Wright Report
as the emerging popularity of e-cigarettes. The outcome seems to be trending towards
slightly inconsistent regulations for the various cities and counties in the region.
Mandatory disclosure of no smoking policies, rather than banning of any tobacco
smoking at apartment communities, may be where things are heading.
Some other issues facing rental owners are the best means of eradicating bed bugs (new
HUD guidelines offer some guidance), illegal dumping associated with renters moving
out of apartment communities (new state law will establish used mattress recycling
service), and income verification fraud during rental application process (renters using
internet websites to create bogus paystubs).

non-profit trade association representing owners and managers of over 80,000 rental units. For

Real Estate Attorney: Steve Beede
LEGAL UPDATE - There has been a lot of change and clarification in the real estate
market over the past several months. Here are some of the highlights as we move
forward in 2014:
1. DEBT FORGIVENESS TAX RELIEF - The biggest question on the minds of
upside-down property owners is whether there is still relief from the Debt
Forgiveness Tax. Technically, there is no relief because the Federal Debt
Forgiveness Act expired on December 31, 2013 and California didn’t even
enact their Relief Act for 2013. However, last Fall, the IRS responding to a
letter from Senator Barbara Boxer stated that there would be no debt
forgiveness tax on short sales conducted under California Code of Civil
Procedures Section 580e (this is the actual law created by the passage of
SB458 in July 2011 and applies only to 1-4 unit residential properties).
California quickly adopted the Fed’s position. So, that’s where it stands
today.

Wright Report
2. COURTS WON’T FORCE THE LENDERS - Years of litigation by upside down
owners complaining of lender misconduct and other errors have achieved nothing
beyond costing those owners litigation costs. Courts have uniformly agreed that: (1) an
oral agreement is not a loan mod; and (2) Foreclosures are generally final. So far, the
Homeowners Bill of Rights has had little effect although lender fears of the attorney fee
provision has led to some settlements. However, the real effect of these rulings may
now be showing up in increased foreclosure starts since the first of the year.
3. SHORT SALES AND AUCTION.COM - Many Realtors have been complaining of
Nationstar and Auction.com interfering with their Contracts by demanding that short
sales be run through Auction.com. CA Bureau of Real Estate (“BRE”) has now
determined that this process is legal for the purpose of validating the Buyer’s offer. If
the auction bid is higher, the Contract Buyer can match the bid and get the Property; if
lower, then the Contract Buyer’s purchase price is affirmed.
4. MARKET STABILIZING - We remain progressing through a slow stabilization of
the real estate market. The low inventory and high demand of last year has now given
way to higher inventory, higher prices, and less demand. In Sacramento, For Sale Listings
are up 96% from last year but the Sold ratio is down 24%! New lending rules are making
loans harder to get and the higher prices are pushing out investors and flippers.
5. GROWING CONCERN - Realtors are being cautioned to be sure that they are
following procedures properly in doing short sales. BRE has been investigating Dual
Agency and tanking Licenses if they find “Sham Agents” or other improprieties.
Similarly, Lenders are stepping up their investigations of Mortgage Fraud and violations
of Arms Length Disclosures. Brokers are being targeted.

MARKET UPDATE:
The median price across the United States declined slightly to close out
2013 at $197,000. In December, 2013 the CA median sold price hit
$438,040, up 2.2% from June, 2013. That median price is up 55% of
the way to where it was at the peak in 2006 ($594,530), which is a
79% from the 2009 bottom of $245,230.
Affordability, the percent of people who can afford to purchase the
median priced home with 20% down payment, is down 16 points to
32% in California for Q4-13 over last year Q4-12. Sacramento’s
affordability is down 20 points from 71% in Q4-12 to 51% in Q4-13.
In Sacramento County the median price rose 1.7% from June to
December to end the year at $250,000. That is an increase of 28.2%
from the $195,630 median price in December 2012. The average sold
price for Sacramento County for December 2013 was $280,714 up 3%
from June and up 25% from December 2012.
COUNTY
Average Sold Price %
Change
12-Dec 13-Dec
Sacramento $224,772 $280,714 25%
Placer $338,571 $403,136 19%
El Dorado $336,308 $381,985 14%
Yolo $312,310 $334,559 7%
Since the market turned downward in September 2005 the median
price for single family homes (SFR) declined 59%, with the lowest
point reaching $160,000 in January 2012. Since that point the market
has risen 56% through December 2013.

Wright Report
During December 2013 18.6% of sales were distressed sales (short
sales or REO); down from 52% from December 2012. Short sales
made up 11.4% of sold properties in December, and REOs (foreclosed
bank owned sales) made up 7.2% of sales.
The inventory of homes available for sale increase substantially during
2013. The year started January 1, 2013 with 989 units available for
sale and on January 1, 2014 it was 2,055. December 2013 had
approximately 1.95 months of unsold inventory for Sacramento
County.
COUNTY
Inventory for Sale %
Change
Jan-13 Jan-14
Sacramento 989 2,055 108%
Placer 472 709 50%
El Dorado 428 513 20%
Yolo 132 193 46%
The difference between original listing price and sold price also varied
dramatically in some cases. In December 2013 the average home sold

Wright Report
for 1.6% below the original asking price. The biggest shift, however,
was Short Sales which sold for an average of 11% over list price.
Foreclosures, however, sold for an average of 9.8% below original list
price. This underselling indicates that banks were overpricing their
REO listings, and then had to reduce them to get them in order to sell.
Inventory continues to remain low, especially distressed inventory
which has declined through the year.
Sales of homes across the nation reached just over 5 million units in
2013: up from 4.51 million in 2012.
As sales prices have increased the amount of investor activity has
declined.
Cash sales declined dramatically representing 19.5% of sales in
December 2013. Though still comparatively high for properties priced
under $200,000 it is down from 39.6% in December 2012.

Wright Report
SFR (Single Family Residence) New Home sales reached 428,000 units in
2013, not close to where it has been historically but much better than sales
since 2009. The median New Home sales price for 2013 was $265,800; up
8.4% from 2012. The average sold price was up 10% from the prior year to
$320,900.

Wright Report
New construction numbers while improving are nowhere close to normal
market numbers for the number of sales when compared to the last 50+
years.
One interesting trend is the speed at which different counties are recovering
their prices across California. While Sacramento County has returned in price
38% of the way back to its previous high in 2005, other counties vary
dramatically. Overall CA median price has come up 55% of the way to the
previous high. Some Counties have returned almost completely, like San
Francisco at 87% and San Mateo County at 96%. Others have hardly moved
off the low point like Shasta at 25% and Merced at 25.5%. Clearly the
recovery across the state has not been evenly distributed.
As markets in the bay area, specifically San Francisco and San Jose, drive
upward, the investors and home buyers from that area will spill over into
areas with lower prices and greater opportunity, like Sacramento, just as
they did during the last price run up.

Wright Report
THE ECONOMY:
As housing led the U.S. economy into this recession, so it was expected to
lead the it out again. That is not what seems to have happened.
Housing has made a pretty good recovery with regard to prices and numbers
of sales, but such a recovery has not been shared by the national economy.
GDP growth for the U.S. economy in 2013 was 1.9% which is still
unexpectedly low for the amount the residential markets have risen. At the
time median home prices across the nation rose 11.5% to $197,100. In CA
values rose 19.4% and Sacramento County saw a rise of 28.2%.
Unemployment rates continue to haunt various sectors of the economy, and
while we see positive monthly employment numbers there are some
complaints that this job growth is at the lowest paying sectors of the
economy.
Unemployment in December nationally was 6.5% (not seasonally adjusted).
In Sacramento it was 7.9; a bit better than in CA (8.3%). This also does not
accurately reflect underemployment which is in double digits. Also, while
unemployment has come down, the labor force participation rate (the

Wright Report
percent of the population that is employed) has also come down to a 35 year
low, ending the year at 62.8%. Languishing employment undoubtedly takes
its toll on home sales.
One political occurrence that had a direct impact on the residential markets
last year was the shutdown of the national government from October 1st
to
16th
. Not only did it shake Main Street’s faith in a functioning government,
but we saw the largest decline in the number of local sales (17%) and drop
in median sales price (3.35%) for a November since the start of the
recession in 2008.
BANKING & LENDING:
Some of the big shifts in the lending world are the introduction of QM
(Qualified Mortgages). These increased standards raise the
requirements of many loans with the intentions of ensuring the quality
of loans being created, which hopefully results in fewer defaulted loans
and foreclosures. It will certainly be more difficult for lenders to
qualify some borrowers and shrink the pool of qualified borrowers
trying to buy today.
Interest Rates after the June FED meeting rose when FED President
Bernanke mentioned, almost in passing, that the purchase of bonds by
the Federal Reserve would need to be decreased. The shock to the
market was immediate and dramatic with interest rates spiking 1 point
within days. Ironically, the FED did actually lower their purchases of
bonds in December 2013 from 85 Billion to 75 Billion and there was
almost no reaction in the markets as far as interest rates are
concerned.
As the year ended so did Bernanke’s term. Janet Yellen his
replacement as president seems to be in lock step with previous FED
policy decisions and the carrying forward the monthly government
bond purchases.

Wright Report
While the 30 year mortgage interest rate remains well below 5%,
4.46% in December, it is still at historically low rates. In fact, the
average mortgage interest rate over the last 32 years is just a bit over
8.5%.
Congress still continues to ponder how to remove Fannie & Freddie
and return private capital to the secondary loan markets; but it is
unlikely to happen until interest rates rise and investors become
convinced that they can make money holding mortgages.
One interesting entrant into the residential lending arena is Blackstone
Group (NYSE:BX) which purchased some 40,000 SFR (Single Family
Residences) over the last couple of years. First, they created a bond
using over 3,000 of the residential properties they own and manage.
The bond was separated into different tiers each paying successively
higher returns based on the amount of risk they are willing to share
with Blackstone.
Next they created B2R Finance (Buy to Rent Finance -
http://www.b2rfinance.com/) a lending group that loans to existing
owners and new owners of residential investment properties. These
groups (or pods as they call them) are assembled with the intent of
creating additional bonds.

Wright Report
The strategy is a stroke of managerial genius as forward thinking
Blackstone makes money several different ways. First, they receive
origination fees as they create the loans, next they get paid to service
the loans, thirdly they make the interest rate on the capital they used
to fund the loans, and lastly they do it one better by bundling the
properties, selling bonds, and using the money from the bonds to free
their capital so they can provide more loans.
The bond concept has 2 distinct benefits over conventional capital:
first bond money can be very inexpensive – under 2%, and second
bond purchasers are also willing to share the risk of reduced rental
collections with Blackstone. All of these provide a very high ROI for
Blackstone Group and its investors.
Another interesting development is the progress of law suits filed by
FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency) against 18 lenders for their
fraudulent lending practices between 2005 and 2007. These practices
resulted in huge losses for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for whom FHFA
is responsible. By the end of 2013 six of the eighteen lenders had
settled with FHFA. The three largest of the settlements was Chase for
4 Billion, Deutsche Bank for 1.925 Billion, and UBS Americas for 885
Million. Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Ally Financial were the other three
lenders that settled for together just over 1.06 Billion. It will be
interesting to see how the other 12 suits unfold.
DISTRESSED PROPERTIES:
In February of 2012 the attorney generals of 49 states sued and won a
25 Billion dollar settlement against the five largest loan servicers in the
U.S. From that time residential lenders began wondering why they
foreclose on properties and play foreclosure roulette with borrowers
and states alike if there are other options available to them. It
appears they decided it is easier to modify mortgages, complete short

Wright Report
sales, or sell them in blocks to investors rather than to foreclose and
sell to consumers.
This liquidation of distressed properties through alternative avenues
drastically reduced inventory of foreclosures on the open market which
drove up prices, and kick started the real estate sector of our national
economy.
In Sacramento county inventories of REOs (bank foreclosed properties)
were reduced dramatically as banks no longer desired to acquire and
hold properties. Instead of doing short sales banks began to perform
loan modifications with borrowers in distress which cut the number of
short sales available for sale. Here are the numbers.
Sacramento
County
Inventory for
Sale
% of Total
Inventory
Short
Sales REO
January 1, 2011 1,987 1,416 66%
January 1, 2012 1,157 669 59%
January 1, 2013 137 155 29%
January 1, 2014 183 155 16%
This strategy of reducing inventory to raise prices had been used in
2009 but did not work mostly because many buyers in 2009 were still
working to get themselves out of owning and did not want to keep the
loans they had with the bank. By 2012 buyers that were in trouble
were survivors and wanted to keep their homes. They made their
payments through the heart of the recession and, though in financial
difficulty, they were far more committed to their homes than owners 3
years earlier. These owners, as survivors, were happy to find lending
institutions willing to work with their difficult circumstances.
New Foreclosure Filings: California NOD (Notice of Default) filings
fell 44% and NOT (Notice of Trustee Sale) filings fell 59% from
December 2012 to December 2013. The number of properties that

Wright Report
went back to the bank fell 48% during the same period to 1,875 from
3,578 in December 2012.
In Sacramento the number of filings of NODs fell 51% and NOT filings
fell 58% from December 2012 to December 2013. The number of
properties that went back to the bank fell 37% from December 2012.
The number of days to foreclosure in Sacramento County increased
16% to 292 days and the number of days it took for the banks to sell
to a 3rd
party increased to 163 days on average.
Existing Inventory: Pre-foreclosure inventory (NOD - Notice of
Default) in California was down 33% to 38,563 (Dec. 2013) from
57,653 (Dec. 2012). NOT (Notice of Trustee Sale) inventory is down
68% for the same period to 19,332 units, and the number of bank
owned inventory (REOs) is down 30% to 41,842 in December from
59,461 units in December 2012.
Sacramento County Pre-foreclosure inventory went down 36% from
3,062 in Dec. 2012 to 1,956 in Dec. 2013. NOT inventory went down
72% for the same period to 755 units, and the number of bank owned
