HISTORY HINTS THAT HOUSING REVIVAL MERELY TAKING BREATHE
The current recovery started off faster than the 1990s edition – with Southern California home-buying pace jumping 40% within 18 months. The current 70-month marker is just 36% above the bottom of July 2008. Prices are still 10% down in that same time frame…you can take comfort from history or sweat the imperfections of this recovery.

HIGH-PRICED SALES BREAKING RECORDS
The U.S. trophy home market is shattering price records this year as an increasing number of residential properties change hands for more than $1 million. Purchases costing $1 million or more represented 2% of sales and rose 7.8% from a year earlier.

O.C.HOMES SELL FASTER THAN MOST OTHER METRO AREAS IN NATION
Orange County is still a seller’s market, with just 45% of homes listed at least two month ago were still for sale in mid-April. Nationally, 55% were still on the market for the same time.

FORECLOSURES DROP 45% IN REGION
Lenders seized or auctioned 45%  fewer homes in Southern California during the first quarter of 2014 than during the same period a year earlier.
