Southern California Real Estate Goes Off the Cliff

October 17th, 2007

Via: Los Angeles Times:

September proved to be the cruelest month yet for the sputtering Southern California housing market, as monthly home sales fell to their lowest point in nearly 20 years.

Overall, September home sales in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura counties fell 48.5% from a year earlier, according to figures released today by the real estate information service DataQuick.

The total number of houses and condominium units sold — 12,455 — was the lowest since DataQuick began compiling sales statistics in 1988.

The median Southern California sales price of $462,000 was down 7.6% from August and down 4% from last September.
