OC June Homes Sales up 10% with Single Family Homes up 18.6%

I have to tell you that the reality of the real estate market in Orange County is that buyers are out there buying homes right now no matter what all the negative news articles continue to say about real estate across the country.  According to the Southern California Multiple Listing Service home sales jumped 10% in June 2008 over the same period last year.  Single Family Home sales jumped a dramatic 18.6% witch helped push the overall increase into the double digits (10%).  Sales of condos fell 3.9% in Orange County for the month of June compared to 2007.

As the median home price continues to fall in Orange County I find that many people don't under stand what the Median Price is? What does Median Price mean? The median home price = the price at which 1/2 of the total home sales were above that price and 1/2 of the total home sales were below that price.  Because the largest amount of home sales continue to be under $500,000 it continues to drive the median home price lower.

The median price right now is telling us that the majority of purchase are below $500,000.  With many 1st time home buyers getting into their first home.
