Valley homes sales set to end 2016 on sluggish note

The San Fernando Valley’s residential real estate market is limping toward the end of a sluggish year, with sales likely totaling less than in 2015, the Southland Regional Association of Realtors said this week. Last month Realtors logged 457 sales of previously owned houses, one fewer than in November of last year, the Van Nuys-based trade group said.
