COASTAL HOME SALES LEADING THE MARKET TO RECOVERY
Coastal property sales lead the housing market in its continued long, step-by-tiny-step trek back toward normalcy in May. The median sale prices rose year-over-year for the second consecutive month for a 20-month high.
Home sales increased across the region but the gains were highest in coastal areas where move-up markets have picked up steam.
Loans: Credit remains tight with loan terms very stringent. The share of purchase loans that are in the "jumbo" category (over $417,000) edged higher as adjustable rate loans lowered. Investor and cash-only home purchases remain near record levels.

ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER 6/17/2012 Jonathan Lansner
"SELLERS RAISE PRICES AT TOP END OF LOCAL MARKET" With a tight supply of homes for sale and shoppers actually buying - we were bound to see hints that prices could be rebounding too. Curiously, we're seeing the strength most at the upper end of the market. O.C. sellers of higher-end homes are raising prices to levels not seen in 20 months.
"RENTS HIT 3-YEAR HIGH" O.C. rentals increase an average of $72.00 or 4.7% after 5 straight quarterly raises. Prior inventory shows 94.8% of vacancies have been filled.
