California Home Prices Rise in June

From Realtor Magazine Online, Daily Real Estate News July 17, 2009

California’s median home prices rose 7 percent in June compared to May, according to MDA DataQuick, a real estate research firm.

The statewide median price increased to $246,000 from $230,000, triggered by an increase in sales of higher-priced homes.

"We're just now seeing the beginnings of more normal mortgage lending patterns," DataQuick President John Walsh says. "There's still a long way to go, but it looks like the worst of the grind is over."

DataQuick also pointed out that foreclosures accounted for 46 percent of sales, the first month since August 2008 that foreclosure sales were less than 50 percent of the total.
