Recently I published market data for the three Roseville zip codes separately.  This report covers Roseville as a whole.

The drop in prices in Roseville from May to May was about characteristic of Placer County as a whole.  The average home sold for $179.23 in May, down 24.5% from last May’s average of $228.05.    Average selling price declined 17.9%, from $418,710 in May of 2007 to $355,908 in May of 2008.

Though prices fell at about the same rate of Placer County as a whole, some other indicators fare better in Roseville than in the rest of the county.  Inventory is 6.1 months in Roseville versus 8.3 months in the county as a whole.  Likewise, unit volume increased more in May in Roseville.  Unit sales in Roseville are up 33.6%, from 128 units in May of 2007 to 171 units in May of 2008.
