Despite a moderate year, the California housing market stayed in line with 2014 predictions and confidently set the pace for a better 2015, according to the Jeff Adams real estate profit Report.
Single-family home and condominium sales increased 7% units, in December 2013. Entire sales for the entire year fell 11.7% from 2013 and were the lowest since 2007. However, prices are likely still too high, 2015 may fare slightly better thanks to mortgage interest rates trending lower and loosening lending standards.
Median home prices have been inactive for most of the second half of 2014, with December no different. The number of homeowners in a negative equity position fell 1.1% and in December, about 11.4% of California homeowners owed more than their house was worth, down from 1.4 million, a decline of nearly 28.5% from a year ago.
Based on the Real Estate Profit Report, the California real estate market continues to show steady improvement. Many homeowners are now free to join in the real estate market or refinance their homes.
