Home Prices in California Jump in May

From Daily Real Estate News, June 18, 2010

Median home prices in California rose to $278,000 in May, up 20.9 percent from May 2009, according to MDA DataQuick, which tracks real estate data in the state.

Low mortgage rates and the tax credits encouraged the sales of lower- and higher-priced homes, pushing up the median price, says DataQuick President John Walsh.

Walsh cautioned that there are many homes in foreclosure that haven’t been repossessed by lenders. If lenders take control of these properties and put them on the market, those sales will have a very negative effect on prices, he says.
