Housing 2021 – Housing activity is expected to remain strong in 2021, but sector growth will likely decelerate from the torrid pace set in the second half of 2020.

Sales Stats – Existing, single-family home sales totaled 509,750 in December on a seasonally adjusted annualized rate, up 0.2% from November and up 28% from December 2019. The statewide median home price was $717,930, up 2.7% from November and up 16.8% from December 2019. (C.A.R.)
Effective February – Proposition 19, which narrowly passed in the fall, will require people who inherit property to use it as their primary residence or have its tax value reassessed starting in February. Watch the video to hear Paul Velasco explain this and more.
