OC Leads Southern California in Housing Market Health
Among the six Southern California counties, Orange County seems to be in the lead in overall housing market health. The median price of a home in the county was at $600,000 in April – an increase of 4.2% from a year ago. Sales velocity is also on a strong uptrend, and underpinning the housing market strength is a low unemployment rate of 4.4%.
