Orange County home prices hit 5 1/2 year low

December 16, 2008 · 1 Comment

Dataquick’s November stats show Orange County median home price are now at $400K…a 5 1/2 year low and a 34.4% decline year over year. Prices not seen since May of ‘03! Single family OC homes dropped to a median of $420K and condos are now at a median of $260.5K.

On the positive side sales popped up by almost 39%! This was mainly a result of banks dumping foreclosures on the market and bargain hunters and investors swooping in and buying. This was the fifth straight month of home sales increasing on a year-over-year comparison. A good sign! If sales continue to increase this will gradually soak up the inventory as long as foreclosures don’t increase at a more rapid pace than we had in 2008.

    Wow I thought we were rough for home prices in Jacksonville Florida! We are getting low, but I don’t think we are that low yet. Good to see that home sales are starting to rise again in your market! Hopefully its a sign things will be settleing down soon, as you guys were the first to feel the bubble burst.
