Latest CAR update
Price in California Up for 2 Months in a Row
The California median home price posts year-to-year increases in March and April of 2012, as supply conditions tightened up across all price range.
Prices Beginning to Turn Heads
The statewide median price was at $308,050 in April of this year, up almost 5 percent over last April. It was the first time the median price was above the
$300,000 mark in nearly a year and a half (since Dec
2010). Prior to March, we had seen 16 months straight of year-over-year declines in the median price. However, in March and April the California housing market bucked that trend as constrained inventory levels put upward pressure on prices across the board. The median price in April was the highest since Sept 2010 and was 26 percent above the cyclical bottom of $245,230 back in Feb.
