California home sales and median price both jumped in April, with sales shooting
up to their highest level in more than two years, and the median price rising
above $300,000 for the first time in 16 months, the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS® (C.A.R.) recently reported.
Closed escrow sales of existing, single-family detached homes in California rose to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 555,300 units in April, according to information collected by C.A.R. from more than 90 local REALTOR® associations and MLS data statewide. Sales in April were 10 percent higher than March’s pace and 11 percent higher than in April 2011. The statewide sales figure represents what would be the total number of homes sold during 2012 if sales maintained the April pace throughout the year. It is adjusted to account for seasonal factors that typically influence home sales.
The statewide median price of an existing, single-family detached home climbed 5.7 percent in April to $308,050, up from March’s revised $291,330 median price and 4.7 percent from a revised $294,140 recorded in April 2011.
