SoCal Home Sales Hit a 9 Year High
The weather may be hot, but so is the Southern California real estate market. This according to Andrew Khouri of the LA Times who reports that homes sales in Southern California just hit a 9-year high.
In what continues to be a blistering pace, the median price of homes sold in July jumped 5.5% from a year earlier (the median sales price is the point at which half the home sales were higher and half lower).
