"You listen to the news and it seems like everyone is moving out of California or losing their house" to foreclosure, said a friend. "It's really a small percentage of homes that are for sale now," I retorted, and we went for a drive. You know what happened. On some streets in every city, there were a number of houses for sale. But on those same streets, a larger number of homes were NOT for sale. My curiosity was piqued, however, so I went in search of statistics showing just how many households there are in the cities in my service area. On Board, a real estate information company, says there are 22,766 households in the city of Chino. That includes apartments as well as homes, condominiums and town homes.  (If you're curious too, you can find the number of households On Board reports...

Thanksgiving and the shopping sprint that followed may have dampened the enthusiasm of some home shoppers, but those determined to change addresses before the end of the year continued to seek out "open house" signs and followed flags into new developments. Most new-construction models were closed for Thanksgiving, but open again on Friday morning. In Chino, two homes closed escrow and two homes entered escrow during the week ending Nov. 25, the Inland Multi-Regional Multiple Listing Service reported.
