The Northern California Bay Area Real Estate Market is still heating up and posted its strongest January home sales growth since 2007. As always numbers vary significantly by County with Santa Clara, Alameda,San Mateo, and Contra Costa Counties all showing close to 30% Median Price increase. Even the lowest (Napa) had a 14% increase.

The median price for a home in the nine-county region was $415,000. That was up more than 27 percent from the price a year earlier.
There were fewer sales of foreclosed homes and short sales, Sales also shifted away from low-cost homes to mid-market and move-up homes.
Great information and reference! Two things I like about the post, one it is straight forward and two it does not attempt to promote anyone’s position particularly. Very valuable information Bill.
Glad you agree. We need to try and get the voice of facts heard above the uninformed and incorrect noises coming out of just about every source of for profit media.
