California Home Sales Increase Four Months in a Row
For the fourth consecutive month, home sales rose for California real estate. Home prices were
down almost half of what they were a year ago, which has been the impetus for nearly 500,000 closed
escrows last month.
The resurgence in home sales has taken California's home inventory being sold - down to almost 7 months from
what it was a year ago at 10 months. This is the estimated time that it would take to sell off all the houses
at the pace of today's real estate market.
However, although home sales have risen, they are still down more than 10% from what they were a year ago, but
it is showing signs of improvement.
