Home Sales Slowest In Nine Years

DataQuick Information Systems has reported home sales in Southern California are at a nine year low with prices having reached a plateau.

A total of 25,628 new and resale homes sold in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties last month. That was up 12.8% from 22,712 in July, and down 25.3 percent from 34,292 for August a year ago, according to DataQuick.

Even though the market has softened, it is good to remember that housing prices have doubled in the past four-and-a-half years, making real estate in Orange County an excellent investment.
