The Wall Street Journal has a nifty chart online spotting housing trends in 26 cities, Sacramento included. Although most of the WSJ content is available only to subscribers, it appears this piece is open to all, at least for now.

The chart lists Sacramento as a falling market with a 136 percent change in inventory of available homes. What struck me, though (although it didn’t come as a surprise, really) is how relatively low-priced many other cities are. Example: Three bedroom, two bath “lakeside lodge” in Jacksonville, FL, for $195,600. In Houston, $139,900 will get you four-bedrooms and 2,392 square-feet.

But having spent time in both Jax and Houston, I have to say: If you think summer in Sacramento is miserable, try north Florida or Houston. C’mon, you know it! Let’s have the Sacramento motto:

It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.
